Wet Operator's manual

[nealf]

One of my manuals got wet whe it was sitting in my driveway. Now it is hard as a rock and all stuck together. Any way I can get the pages unstuck and separated? Thanks.

....."yOUR fUCHED!"

seperate the pages while it's still wet !

if you let it dry stuck - the paper coating acts

like glue and it will become a solid tablet.

With the pages seperated, lay a sheet of wax-paper between

each page, and place in a warm place to dry slowly. apply light weight on the booklet to help the pages not to wrinkle. It will never

be 'Condition 1 ' again.

PART 2 :

locate the cause for the leak-

Time for a new windshield rubber,

and repairing the rusting in the corners of the body opening

which ALL 02's have

steaming it might help seperate the pages again

If its still wet you can throw it in the freezer for a few weeks (?)

Freezing doesn't actually stop the evaporation process so it will eventually dry out even though its frozen. (ever notice old ice cubes in trays shrink?) It will take awhile though. this is how the library in my town salvaged most of their books when they got flooded.

If it has already become a dried out rock, then I think you need to order a new one.

It is best to store the manuals in the glove compartment rather than the driveway. :-)

id try getting it wet again, use a spray bottle and go a page at a time! or just buy a new one...
