Congratulations! You have just purchased the finest quality van on the market. This owners manual is designed to ensure that you enjoy your Explorer

van as much and as long as possible, and that you protect your investment through proper care. Before driving your van for the

first time, take a moment now to read through this owners manual while seated in the van. The time spent familiarizing yourself with its features and operation will greatly enhance your personal safety

and enjoyment. Take good care of your Explorer van and it will provide years of service. We have provided a page in the back of this manual for you to record regular maintenance performed

on the van.

We at Explorer Van Co. appreciate your patronage, and we wish you years of enjoyment.

In addition to this owners manual, you will find a “Care Package” with your van.

This “Care Package” also contains extra buttons, striping, fuses, component manuals, and a lug nut adapter.

Special Note Explorer Van Company makes every effort to provide you, our

customer, with the finest product and service possible. Wood parts in Explorer van conversions are hand-crafted in our own plant. Slight color variations can be expected due to natural aging of

wood over a period of weeks and months. Replacement parts are also hand-crafted in our plant of the same type and grade of wood used for the parts when it was delivered to you. However, no tree is identical. You may notice a slight color variation in replacement parts, and, of course, replacement will also go through an aging

process as well.

All costs incurred by you for returning the Explorer Van to and from your dealer, another Explorer service center or the Explorer factory will be your responsibility.

X. RIGHTS UNDER STATE LAW. Other Legal Rights. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. For example, in addition to the limited warranty provided by Explorer, you may also have an implied warranty that arises under applicable law. Specifically, you may have an implied warranty of merchantability and/or implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Limit on Length of Implied Warranty. The implied warranties available to you are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time period covered by the Explorer Limited Warranty or to the applicable time period provided by state law, whichever period is shorter. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Business or Commercial Purposes. THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU AT ALL IF YOU USE YOUR VEHICLE FOR BUSINESS OR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, EXPLORER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

All Types of Claims. The limitations set forth in this Section apply to claims for breach of Explorer’s warranty, other breach of warranty claims, claims for negligence and to other claims against Explorer based on any other theory.

Effect of State Law. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations or exclusions related to such damages set forth in this Part XI may not apply to you.

XII. PRODUCTION CHANGES Explorer reserves the right to make changes in the conversion vans its manufactures or sells at any time. Explorer has no obligation to make the same or similar changes to any van conversion it previously manufactured or sold, and Explorer has no obligation to conform any Explorer Van to the features shown in any Explorer brochure or advertisement.

XIII. REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTIf you believe that your vehicle has a safety defect, you should inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in addition to notifying Explorer. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exist in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall or remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Explorer. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hot-line toll free at 1-800-424-9393 (Washington, D.C. residents may call 366-0123) or write to NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventy Street, Washington D.C. 20590. You can obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the hot line.

XIV. ARBITRATIONIf Explorer is unable to resolve your warranty claim or you have any other claim against Explorer or your dealer that relates to your Explorer Van conversion, you must submit your claim to binding arbitration under the federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-14. Arbitration will be administrated by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules, unless and until EXPLORER designates a different administrator, in which event a notice will be mailed to your last known address. To initiate an arbitration proceeding, you must notify EXPLORER of your intent to arbitrate and binding arbitration

Page 13: Conversion Van Owners Manual - Explorer Van Conversions - Custom

Page 8

proceedings will be held after you have paid $125 to the American Arbitration Association to be applied to the initial filing fee. If your claim is less than $10,000, EXPLORER will pay the balance of the initial filing fee and any final fee payable to AAA and the arbitrator shall not award damages in excess of $10,000. If your claim exceeds $10,000 or is not specified, you must pay one half of the fees and costs payable to AAA in excess of $125. You, the dealer, and EXPLORER will each pay their own costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration hearing. The claim will be heard by a single arbitrator, and will be held thirty (30) days after the claim is filed, unless all parties agree to a later date. The arbitrator shall be selected from a panel named by AAA, pursuant to its rules. Unless required by law, the arbitrator shall award only actual damages for financial loss, and shall not award damages for personal injury or mental anguish, or other intangible claims. Statutes of limitation, which would apply to a court proceeding for your claim, will apply to commencement of arbitration proceedings. If you file a claim in court, you will be required to pay all fees, cost and expenses, including Explorer’s attorneys’ fees, for dismissal or referral to arbitration. This Agreement will apply to you, your heirs, and assigns, and anyone who purchases or leases your Explorer Van from you or operates or occupies it with your permission or without objection by you. Nothing in this Agreement enlarges your rights or gives you any rights or claims you would not otherwise have. FOR INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO FILE A CLAIM OR ABOUT THE ARBITRATION PROGRAM, CALL EXPLORER AT (574) 267-7666, OR THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AT (800) 778-7879.

The ignition switch must be in the “on” position before using any of these components. Please note the TV signal will not be

received while vehicle is in motion. Vehicle motion and variations in electric current may cause the picture to “roll” or produce a “snowy” effect on the picture. For this reason you may want to consider a DVD, Blu Ray or Satellite System to provide more

satisfying TV entertainment.

Note: The TV Monitor must be set to operate the DVD on HDMI1 or Satellite System on A/V mode. To operate an optional game

setup, the TV Monitor must be set to HDMI2 on TV. Refer to the manuals included with your van for more information on these

optional accessories.

Low Top Monitor/ DVD Combo

high top) can still be equipped with an LCD screen Flip Down Monitor with built-in DVD or Blu Ray player. In such cases,

the necessary monitor connections are made between the plate mounted on the back wall behind the fuse block. Explorer

uses various manufacturers of LCD Monitors. Sizes may also vary. Please refer to your Monitor owners manual for operating

SERVICE BULLETIN

Customers purchasing an Explorer Van equipped with cast alloy wheels must be made aware of the lug nut tightening procedure

necessary in the immediate break-in period of the van.

Lug nuts need to be checked and tightened often the first one hundred (100) miles and once again after an additional two

hundred fifty (250) miles. Lug nuts should then be checked every one thousand to fifteen hundred (1,000-1,500) miles.

If the wheels are ever removed for service or tire rotation, the initial lug nut tightening procedure must be gone through again.

Failure to follow proper lug nut tightening procedures could result in wheel stud failure and possible loss of the wheel.

Optional Upgrade TiresThe buyer understands that the original tire manufacturer provides

a warranty for any implied defects.

Page 23

Lug nut adapter provided in Care Package.

Wheels

Please note that it is normal for the front wheels to accumulate more dust than the rear wheels. This dust is the normal result of wear on the front disc brake pads. Be sure to follow the cleaning

directions on page 24.

Page 29: Conversion Van Owners Manual - Explorer Van Conversions - Custom

Page 24

Note on Alloy Wheels

If your van is equipped with alloy wheels that have a special coating, clean these wheels only with a soft cloth and warm soapy

water—never use a wire brush or other objects that might remove the protective coating on the wheel.

Never use any cleaners.

Running Board CapacityThe running board capacity for high top and

low top vans is 300 lbs.

THE CARE & MAINTENANCE OFPVD COATED WHEELS

PDV (Physical Vapor Deposition) coated aluminum wheels are not the same as chrome plated wheels and clean up easily with the use

of soap and water.

Explorer recommends the use of mild soap (or “car wash” soap) and water with a soft sponge for cleaning on a regular basis. Dry

with a soft cloth.

AVOID spraying cold water on extremely hot wheels. Always allow wheels to cool before cleaning.

DO NOT USE abrasive wheel cleaners or acid based chrome wheel cleaners intended for use on chrome plated wheels.

DO NOT USE steel wool or stiff bristle brushes on the finish.

If a scratch does appear, we recommend the use of Meguiar’s Scratch X 2.0 for the removal of mild scratches. Follow

manufacturer’s instruction on product bottle.
