FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The fire extinguisher should have the charge checked on a regular basis. Make sure
your family, especially the cook, knows how to release the extinguisher storage
bracket, and how to properly operate the extinguisher. If you find the directions on the
extinguisher unclear, check with your local fire department for professional advice on
its operation and use. We’re sure they will be happy to assist you and your family.
SAFETY: Many things can be construed as safety related, but the most important
is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable
material or any other hazardous material, we are sure you realize your potential
for accidents is greatly increased.
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 three positioning slots on the side of the
frames. To lock the windows, reverse this procedure.
WARNING : The escape windows(s) are identified by red release han-
dles and are opened by lifting up both latches, then turning the latches toward
the center. Push out on the glass and it will swing clear. The window operation
should be checked each trip and the latches lubricated with WD-40 or equivalent
every six months. A loop is provided in the SCREEN RETAINING SPLINE so it can
be rapidly removed. Take hold of the loop and pull the rubber spline out of the
screen frame. The window screen can then be easily pushed out.
WARNING : Check the emergency escape route outside your escape
window at every stop. At each campsite make sure you have not parked in such
a manner as to block the operation of the escape window by being too close to
trees, fences or other impediments. Scenic views are one reason for traveling,
but don’t park so the beautiful lake or steep cliff is just outside your escape
window. Never park your trailer so the escape windows cannot be easily used
for emergency exits.
WARNING : You and all your family should practice escape procedures
so they can be rapidly accomplished even in total darkness. Never block the
interior or exterior access to the emergency escape windows.
These windows are cleaned in the same manner that ordinary windows are. Clean the
seals with a damp cloth or mild detergent every three to six months, taking care not
to use a strong solvent, as it 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 Airstream. For replacement of a damaged window contact an Airstream Service
Center or the factory.
SCREENS
Your plastic screens are easy to maintain. Just clean them occasionally with a damp
cloth.
Note: They will melt at the point of contact if touched by a cigarette.
