37 MAINTENANCE DECKS Keep the deck surfaces clean and dry. When necessary, clean with a broom or brush. No other maintenance is required. Do not use oil-based cleaning products, and do not wax or polish the decks. Carpeted surfaces can be spot-cleaned, using only enough solution to remove spots. Never saturate the carpet. DRAPERY Drapery sections may be washed or dry-cleaned. Remove all drapery clips prior to cleaning. Machine-wash at 120 F or lower using mild detergent. Remove immediately after the wash cycle is completed. Tumble-dry at permanent-press or lower temperature. Remove and hang immediately to prevent wrinkling. Excessive heat or drying time will detract from the permanent-press characteristics of the fabric and may cause permanent wrinkles. Little or no ironing is required. When dry-cleaning, tumble-dry on the lowest heat cycle and remove immediately when dry. PREVENTENTIVE MAINTENANCE Inspect all bolts on the platform and accessories every six months, and tighten as necessary. Replace any worn, bent, or broken parts promptly to prevent injury. 37
