CANOPY MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE GUIDE

Your Beekman canopy is designed and manufactured to provide you with hassle-free service with the minimum maintenance. Our countrywide network of Agents are ready to assist you should you have a problem with our product.

We suggest the following easy maintenance tips:

CLEANING
Avoid the use of paint thinners, scouring and any ammoniac product to clean your canopy. Benzine can be used to remove stubborn dirt from your canopy. Clean the inside of your canopy with a damp cloth. Your Beekman canopy can be polished regularly, like your vehicle, to prevent yellowing of the gelcoat (in the case of a white canopy) as the years pass. Use ordinary car polish for this purpose.

DOOR-LOCKING MECHANISM
The locking mechanism on a Beekman Canopy can be adjusted to ensure continuous functioning. If your canopy has metal end-locks and striker plates, it is advisable to lubricate them every six months with petroleum jelly or Vaseline to ensure smooth operation. This will not be necessary for canopies with nylon end-locks or striker plates. If you have difficulty inserting the canopy key in the lock or operating the mechanism, a liberal application of lubricant will solve the problem.
End-locks and striker plates can be adjusted if the door is rattling or if the end-lock does not catch the striker plate.

DRIVING WITH AN OPEN CANOPY DOOR
It is not advisable to drive with an open canopy door as this will damage the door, hinges and gas stays supporting the door.

WINDOWS
Beekman Canopies are all manufactured with safety glass window panes. Avoid loading heavy objects against the canopy windows, as this may break the windows or dislocate them from the Frame. For the same reason, passengers inside the canopy must refrain from leaning against the windows. The gutters on sliding windows should be cleaned regularly to ensure that windows open smoothly and to prevent blockage of the draining holes that could cause water leak.

FITTING AND REMOVING THE CANOPY
Ensure that all fitting brackets are secured properly before driving the vehicle. The canopy should be stored on a flat surface when removed from the vehicle to avoid warping. It is not advisable to remove a canopy with a cab connection rubber on a regular basis, as this could cause leakage at the connection rubber.

Remember to unplug electrical fittings for the brake light and the interior light before removing your canopy.
