Vehicle Maintenance - Winnebago 2005 Rialta Owner's Manual

SECTION 9
CARE & MAINTENANCE
DOORS AND WINDOWS
Windows may be periodically cleaned with a
good quality glass cleaner or mild soap solution
using a soft cloth. Use care when removing ice or
frost from the windows. Always use a plastic ice
scraper, never one made of metal. Use care when
removing ice from the mirrors to protect the re-
flective surfaces.
Door locks and hinges should be lubricated
periodically with powdered graphite to ensure
trouble-free operation and to protect against
freeze-up.
WINDOW ROLL-UP SHADE
ADJUSTMENT
If a roll-up type window shade in your motor
home does not roll up or down fully, the spring
tension may need adjustment.
Spring Too Weak:
− Roll shade about half-way down on window.
− Remove shade from bracket.
− Roll shade snugly by hand and replace onto
bracket.
Spring Too Strong:
− Roll shade all the way up.
− Remove shade from bracket.
− Unroll shade one or two turns as necessary by
hand and replace onto bracket.
