General Maintenance – Roof Air
Conditioner:
The roof air conditioners use a closed cell
foam base gasket. No sealants are required.
The roof air conditioners should be checked for
tightness by the four mounting bolts located in
each interior corner of the air conditioner roof
opening. Torque specication is 40 to 50 in/lbs.
The base gasket should be compressed to about
½”.
General Maintenance – Windshield: Black
Silicone Sealant: Dow Corning #999-A Black
Used for sealing small areas or imperfections
around windshields. The product is available
in a tube. Clean up using solvents such as
mineral spirits. Consult manufacturer data for

General Maintenance – Exterior
Attachments: Dow Corning #999-A Clear
Silicone or Colorimetric High Performance
Clear Silicone
Primarily used on the sidewalls around
windows, doors, handles, beltline molding,
latches and bases of surface mounted items such
as clearance lights. Old peeling sealant should
be removed with nylon sticks or equivalent.
Avoid using metal utensils which can scratch the
painted surface. Use nylon sticks or equivalent.
Avoid lacquer thinners or ketone based solvents
as these chemicals can damage painted surfaces.
Conrm that surface is clean and dry before a
new application. Cut the tube at an angle with
the smallest usable opening. Avoid a heavy bead
as a little goes a long way. Use nger at a 45°
angle on beaded surface to smooth out product.
DO NOT moisten nger, use a disposable latex
glove. Keep rags or paper towels handy for clean
up. Use care when applying silicone and plan
ahead before starting a bead. Look for obstacles
that may impede application.
CAUTION
Avoid eye and skin contact and
breathing of vapors. Consult
manufacturer data for application and
safety instructions.
General Maintenance – Openings: Spray

has been made for items such as
water lines or wires that are coming
through a oor or bulkhead opening.
Consult manufacturer data for
application and safety instructions.
Windshield Installation: Black Urethane
Used for sealing the windshields, not to ll
holes or other imperfections. Black urethane
comes in a tube and it applies much the same
way as silicone. Clean up using solvents such as
paint thinner. Gloves are required as product is
considered a hazardous material.

breathing of vapors. Consult
manufacturer data for application and
safety instructions.
