Maintenance<br />

Should you be unable to get your grout clean<br />

through conventional methods, you may also<br />

want to try steam . Some stains that do not<br />

respond to conventional cleaners will come<br />

clean when subjected to pressurized steam . As<br />

a last resort, some installers elect to cut out the<br />

grout and regrout . This is possible although care<br />

must be taken to not damage or loosen the tile .<br />

Generally it is not possible to grout directly over<br />

the old grout without cutting the old grout out .<br />

The same contaminants that made the old grout<br />

dirty may prevent new grout from sticking properly<br />

.<br />

Engine Access<br />

The top of the engine may be accessed from<br />

inside the motor home for service by lifting or<br />

removing the engine cover .<br />

WARNING<br />

The interior engine cover is heavy. Use care when<br />

opening or closing the cover.<br />

!<br />

WARNING<br />

When installing the engine cover, be sure the cover<br />

is fully seated on the gasket seal and secured by the<br />

clamps. Do not allow insulation, carpeting, or other<br />

material to interrupt the seal between the cover and<br />

the engine compartment. If the engine cover is not<br />

installed correctly, engine exhaust gases could leak<br />

into the passenger compartment creating a safety<br />

hazard. If the engine must be run with the engine<br />

cover off for maintenance purposes, be sure the<br />

vehicle interior is adequately ventilated.<br />

WINDSHIELD WIPERS & WASHER<br />

Your motor home is equipped with windshield<br />

wipers that are located on the upper front cap .<br />

Having the proper windshield washer solution<br />

will be an important step in maintaining your<br />

system in good operating order .<br />

CAUTION<br />

Use only a windshield washer solution that is rated<br />

at a minimum of - 20 degrees F (-8 deg C) to prevent<br />

damage to the system from freezing up.<br />

schedule, you should be able to prolong the life<br />
