Maintaining a good appearance
• After each use, especially if used in salt
water areas, rinse the canvas completely
with fresh cold water.
On a regular basis
• Brush off any loose dirt, pollen, etc.
• Hose down with fresh cold water and clean
with a mild solution of a natural soap in
lukewarm water (maximum 100°F / 38°C).
• Allow the canvas to soak. DO NOT ALLOW
THE SOAP TO DRY.
• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
• Let the canvas dry completely.
DO NOT
store any of the canvas pieces while wet.
The effects of ultraviolet light can sometimes be
reduced by chemical treatment of canvas items.
Canvas Care and Maintenance
To keep your canvas and metal parts in good working
condition and in good appearance, you will need to
keep them clean.
The fabric should be cleaned regularly before
substances such as dirt, pollen, etc. are allowed to
accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric.
The canvas can be cleaned without being removed
from the installation.
Chafing, fiber wear from dirt and grit and deterioration
from ultraviolet light can cause your canvas to
degrade over time.
NOTICE
DO NOT use detergents, bleach or solvents to
clean your canvas.
Cleaning Your Instrument Gauges
When gauges are exposed to a saltwater environment,
salt crystals may form on the bezel and plastic covers.
Remove the salt crystals with a soft damp cloth.
Clean with a mild household detergent or plastic
cleaner.
•
Remove ordinary dirt and smudges
with a mild
soap and water solution. Dry with a soft, lint-
free cloth or towel.
•
More difficult stains
can be cleaned using
rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol).
Rinse cleaned area with fresh water and
dry with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or
towel.
•
Seemingly permanent stains
like ballpoint ink
can be cleaned with active solvents such as
nail polish remover when applied with a soft
cloth or damp sponge and rubbed. Rinse
cleaned area with fresh water and dry
with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or towel.
The vinyl material and superior finish has been
tested to resist heavy abrasion. Complete cleaning
instructions are included in the owner’s packet. Read
all information provided by the cushion manufacturer
regarding the proper cleaning and maintenance.
Your cushions are not waterproof.
They are
constructed of open-cell foam and will absorb and
hold water. The foam is wrapped with a plastic barrier
which helps to keep water from being absorbed into
the foam but also will not allow water to dissipate
once the foam is soaked.
Do not leave the cushions
in standing water or exposed to heavy, prolonged
rain
.
If, in the event your cushions become waterlogged,
remove the foam from the cushion, press as much
water as you can from the foam and allow to air dry.
Make sure the plastic wrap is dry before wrapping
the foam and inserting it back into the cushion.
To prevent mildew, keep the vinyl dry and make
sure that moisture does not accumulate between the
cushions.
Never use abrasives or rough, dirty cloths to clean
plastic parts. A mild household detergent or plastic
cleaner should be used. Wipe clean with a damp
chamois.
