• Keep cover closed when not in use, avoid storing cover in its folded position for long
periods of time.
• Make sure cover is properly latched while traveling and before entering automatic
drive-through car washes.
• When cleaning, for best results use mild liquid soap and water. Never clean with
petroleum or citrus based products.

position.
TIPS FOR A LONGER LASTING COVER
• Inspection and much of the maintenance can be done by the operator. It may be
necessary to review the installation and operating instructions.
• Periodically check and/or retighten clamps as needed.
• Periodically check synthetic cord to ensure latches fully engage side rails.
• Periodically inspect the cover assembly and the condition of all parts. Check for loose
bolts and parts, tighten if needed. Test the operation to ensure that the parts are
functioning properly and that the cover is in top operational condition.
• If latch has been damaged, replace with new one.
NOTE: Inspection and/or maintenance should also be performed anytime a malfunction
is observed or suspected. If you need assistance inspecting and/or servicing your cover,
or if you want to order a replacement part, call the customer service number on the back
page. Always use original equipment replacement parts for your cover.
