Dowco Guardian WeatherAll Motorcycle User Manual

Installation

Read instructions before using.

Unfold cover and remove Warranty Card from vent
area. Locate ”FRONT” tag, indicating which part of
the cover goes to the front of the motorcycle.

Position the front of the cover on motorcycle with
the vent positioned approximately over the seating
area. Starting in the front wheel area, pull down
over the windshield and “tuck” the elastic hem
under the centerline of the wheel.

Working toward the rear of the motorcycle, slide the
cover down the sides, avoiding “snag” points. The
cover should be long enough to allow the elastic
hem to fully wrap below the centerline of the rear
wheel and have a tight fit along the perimeter. Care
should also be taken to avoid placing the dark gray
material against hot engine components as melting
or burning may occur.

Caution: Mirrors, muffler ends, shifters, brakes and
foot pegs are common wear points. Do not allow
fabric to “snag” around them. Antennas are capable
of puncturing the cover – use extreme care.

Important

The aluminized heat-resistant coating is designed
to protect the cover from melting or burning when in
contact with hot engine parts, pipes and mufflers.
Waiting approximately five-ten minutes for cool­down before placing the cover on the motorcycle
will greatly increase the life of your cover.

Note: The aluminized coated fabric is similar to
high quality ironing board cover materials. The
coating may experience some minor “flaking”
during normal use and this will not affect the
performance of the cover.

Grommet patches are provided to enable you to
securely lock the cover under the motorcycle. A
cable lock or chain is recommended. However,
should you be unable to unlock the cover, it may
have to be cut through the hem and grommet area
to be removed.

Care and Cleaning

Your cover requires very little maintenance. Normal
dirt and grime should be brushed off with a soft terry
cloth or removed with warm water and a mild
detergent using a sponge or terry cloth. The cover
should be thoroughly dried before using.

Caution: Do not place in washing machine and do
not wring or twist the cover to remove moisture.

A water-repellant spray material, such as 3M
Scotchguard

®

, is recommended for increased water

resistance.

Although protected with UV inhibitors, the fabric
may fade in direct sunlight after continuous use.
This is normal wear.

Important

Failure to comply with the above directions may
reduce the life of your cover. If you have any
questions or comments, please contact either your
dealer or DOWCO Inc.

Congratulations on your purchase of a GUARDIAN®WEATHERALL™motorcycle cover. Properly cared for,
your cover will last for many years of service. GUARDIAN®WEATHERALL™is manufactured from a medi­um-weight polyester coated fabric which has excellent water and weather resistance and may be used
either inside or outside. An aluminized heat-resistant coating is applied to the inside bottom portion so that
the cover may be applied over warm engine pipes. Your cover also contains an elastic shock cord that is
sewn into a continuous hem. This feature eliminates the need for tie-downs. The integral vent allows harm­ful moisture to escape. The following information should be used to ensure maximum longevity.

Note: All GUARDIAN

®

WEATHERALL™covers are sized to fit specific motorcycles. It is very important that

you have the correct one for your application.

This cover is not designed for covering your motorcycle while it is trailered or in the back of a
pick-up truck.

In severely windy conditions, “ballooning” of the cover may occur, which may result in the wind causing
the motorcycle to tip over. It is strongly recommended that your motorcycle be sheltered whenever high
winds are expected. If sheltering is not an option, facing into or rearward of strong gusts may reduce the
potential for wind damage. Attaching a bungee cord or cable through grommet areas may also help pre­vent “ballooning” in high winds.
