EXTERIOR
Main Door
CAUTION : When towing, the door lock and dead bolt must be secured. If they
are not locked, the constant vibration of travel may cause the door to open with
possible damage.
Screen Door
The screen door secures to the main door by means of a slide bolt type latch. It
can be operated independently by releasing the slide bolt and swinging the screen
door away from the main door. For easier access to the interior main door handle,
remember to leave the screen door plastic closeout in the open position when closing
the main door.
Step
To operate the step, lift up and pull the step towards you, then lower the step down
into position.
WARNING : Once the step is lowered, press down on it to make sure it
is secure.
CAUTION : Never travel with step lowered or extended.
Exterior Windows
The windows in your trailer are safety glass. To open: release the two lever locks at
the bottom, lift up on the two side operator handles until the window is in the desired
position, and place the operators into one of the three positioning slots on the side of
the frame. To lock the windows reverse this position
WARNING : Read and follow all warnings and escape window operation
in the Camping section under Safety in this manual.
Clean your trailer windows the same way you clean the windows in your home. Clean
the seals with a damp cloth or mild detergent every three to six months, taking care
not to use strong solvents, as they will damage the seals. A coat of natural silicone
lubricant applied after the seal has dried will keep it flexible. Spread the lubricant
evenly with a brush or finger, working it into the surface. This is a good practice for
all rubber seals in your trailer. For replacement of a damaged window contact an
Airstream Service Center.
Your PLASTIC SCREENS are easy to maintain. Clean occasionally with a damp cloth.
Note: They will melt at the point of contact if touched by a cigarette.
Awnings
Complete instructions have been provided with your awning. You should make sure
your traveling companion is familiar with the operation of the awning. If a sudden wind
should come up, or if high wind is forecast, the awning should be retracted, stowed
and travel locks engaged. Awnings should be extended at an angle to encourage the
run off of rain. Awning damage such as a bent tube, torn canvas, or broken arms due
to high winds or water standing on the canvas are not covered by warranty. Use the
center support bar if your patio awning is so equipped.
CAUTION : Travel locks on all awnings must be engaged before traveling.
