To clean, wash the batteries with a diluted solution of baking soda and water to neutralize any acid

present. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Foaming around the terminals or on top of the battery is a

sign that acid is being neutralized. Avoid getting the baking soda solution in the battery. Secure all vent

caps. Dry the battery cables and terminals to prevent corrosion. Do not use grease on the bare metal inside

the cable terminals as it can act as an insulator, and electricity will not flow through it. A plastic ignition

spray will protect the terminals after they have been cleaned.

WARNING

Do not allow the battery fluid to contact your skin, eyes, fabric, or painted surfaces. The fluid could cause
serious personal injury or property damage. Wear eye protection when working with batteries.

The batteries should be removed and stored in a warm place when not using your motorhome for an

extended period of time. Mark the cables, positive and negative, for easy identification. Batteries are not

to be stored on concrete floors. If the motorhome is to be stored for a long period of time, it is

recommended that all of the batteries inside the unit be removed from clocks, radios, smoke alarms, etc.

This will prevent unnecessary drain and corrosion of the batteries. The coach batteries are 6 volt

RV/Marine deep cycle batteries. This type of battery consumes water and must be filled periodically.

Please be sure to check the battery water level on a regular basis. Consult the owner’s manual supplied by

the battery manufacturer.

Alloy Wheels

Your motorhome is equipped with Accuride Aluminum “Alloy” Wheels. Below is the manufacturer’s

recommended cleaning procedure:

Rinse the wheel with high pressure water to remove any debris, grit, or dirt particles. High pressure

water is recommended.

Use a 100% cotton cloth dipped in a mild soap (dish soap or automotive auto wash soap) to help

remove stuck on road dirt and grease.

Thoroughly rinse any remaining soap residue from the wheel.

Dry the wheel thoroughly with a 100% cotton cloth.

IMPORTANT

To insure damage does not occur to your alloy wheels while cleaning, the following list must be adhered to:
1) DO NOT scrub the wheels before rinsing off loose particles with high pressure water; rubbing debris

against the wheel surface will scratch it.

2) DO NOT use synthetic cleaning pads; synthetic cleaning pads can result in streaking on the surface of

the wheel.

3) DO NOT use wire brushes to remove dirt or grime from the wheel surfaces.
4) DO NOT use strong detergents, strong solvents, acidic or alkaline cleaners to clean your alloy wheels.

These solutions can attack the finish on the surface of the wheel, causing damage or dull spots in the
finish.

5) DO NOT allow soap solutions to dry on the surface of the wheel; be sure

to rinse and thoroughly them after cleaning.

DO NOT use polishes or waxes on an Accu-shield aluminum wheel. The finish will maintain its bright

shiny surface for years to come without the need for special polishes.
