In most environments, a thorough clean- ing will be needed approximately every two (2) years.

The fabric can be cleaned while still in the boat. When cleaning, it is important to observe the following:

•Always use a natural soap—never detergent.

•Water should be cold to lukewarm, but never more than 100 degrees.

•Air dry only. Never apply heat to the fabric.

Begin by brushing off loose dirt, and then hose down the material. Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and a mild, natural soap that is free of detergents. Use a soft-bristle brush to clean, allow-

ing the soap to soak in. Rinse thoroughly and allow the fabric to thoroughly air dry.

If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/ soap mixture for spot cleaning of mildew, roof run-off and other similar stains. Please keep in mind that chlorine bleach will not change the color of the fabric, but chlorine bleach will eventu- ally break down the fiber of any fabric. Therefore, this cleaning method should be used as infrequently as possible.

The cleaning mixture should be mixed as follows:

•Four ounces (one-half cup) of chlorine bleach.

•Two ounces (one-fourth cup) of natural soap.

•One gallon of water.

Clean with a soft-bristle brush and allow the mixture to soak no longer than twenty (20) minutes. Rinse thoroughly and allow to completely air dry. Repeat if necessary.

If the top or boat cover is suitable in size for a washing machine, these steps should be followed:

•Use only natural soaps—no detergent.

•Wash and rinse in cold water.

•Air dry. (Never put the fabric in a dryer.)

As part of the finishing process, the material has been treated with a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water repellency. This finish is designed to last for several years, but it must be replenished after a thorough cleaning. Based on test results, the manufacturer recommends 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ as the preferred re-treatment product.

After cleaning and air drying, apply 303 in a thin, even coat. When it has dried, apply a second thin, even coat. These two (2) light coatings are more effective in restoring fabric water resis- tance than a single heavy coating. Keep in mind that 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ will work only as well as it is applied. This means that the fabric must be free of dirt and detergents or the Fabric Guard will wash away with the dirt particles.

Fabrics should be retreated after thorough cleaning or after five

(5) years of use.

Enclosed Head

An option on some models is the enclosed, portable head. This convenience should be emptied on-shore within an acceptable holding tank, septic system or sewer. It should never be emptied within the boating body of water or on-shore, except in an ap- proved receptacle!

After thoroughly cleaning with a mild detergent, add a neutral- izing chemical made especially for portable heads, such as that found in RV centers. The chemical will help deal with potential odors that might otherwise be foul. Even with the use of this neutralizing chemical, the head should be cleaned after each outing.

Slick Boot

The optional Slick Boot should periodically be dismantled, cleaned and the wand thoroughly rinsed. The Slick Boot mate- rial can sometimes become gelled, particularly in colder weather.
