Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois to clean plastic parts. Use warm water and a soft cloth or chamois
to remove any white residue from dark colored plastic surfaces. Do not use a scrubbing
brush, other hard tools, or wax containing abrasives as they may damage the plastic surface.
Do not allow plastic to come into contact with brake fluid, engine oil, grease,
paint thinner, or battery acid. These will damage plastic. Use a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution to wipe away any such contact.
Chrome parts
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or corroding, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and
apply a non-abrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a
commercially available chrome polish product.
Frame
Sand, pebbles, objects on the highway, climate (salt air exposure) or ice inhibiting chemicals
used during the winter months will damage the paint, inviting rust and other deterioration.
Periodically inspect the exterior exposed areas, clean and repaint the frame members occa-
sionally and whenever you notice rust or paint chipped away, to insure protection.
E-Z Lube or Super-Lube Axle (if so equipped)
The E-Z lube or Super-lube feature on your axles provides the ability for the bearings to be
periodically lubricated without removing the hubs from the axle. This feature consists of
axle spindles that have been specially drilled and fitted with grease zerks in their ends. When
grease is pumped into the zerk, it is channeled to the inner bearing and then flows back to the
outer bearing and eventually back out the grease cap hole. If you have further questions,
consult with your dealer.
NOTE: The convenient lubrication provisions of the E-Z lube or Super-
lube feature must not replace periodic inspection and maintenance of the
bearings. Use a hand-operated grease gun; improper use of a commercial
grease gun may damage the seals.
Exterior Roof and Sidewall Vents
Inspect the roof vents, including sealants for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the refrig-
erator and holding tank vents for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All
exterior access doors and vents need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect
nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the appliances are in use.
Windows
Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms. Con-
densation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the tracks.
Window glass
The window glass can normally be cleaned with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner to
remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
