step locks into place. Some units will be equipped with a double step. After
extending step, the second portion folds out. To store the step fold it back into
position, lift the front slightly and push the step back into its storage area.
CAUTION

make sure they are secure in their notches. Never travel with step lowered

Exterior Windows
Emergency Escape:
Lifting two red vertical latches up past vertical opens the
escape windows of your trailer. This releases the sash from the window frame
and allows it to be swing clear of the trailer.
Turn the window latches inward and use the two arms on each side of the
window in unison to open the window.
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.
DANGER:
Failure to properly clean and lubricate the window
seals could result in the window sticking to the jamb. Window seals that
become stuck to the window jamb should be released by a qualified tech-
nician trained in the procedure. Do not force, pry, or apply great pressure
to open the window. Failure to heed this warning may cause the window
to shatter and/or cause personal injury.
Window Stoneguard
Stone guards may be provided for added protection on the front windows. To
open the guard, unhook the two rubber T-handles on the bottom of the guard,
raise the stoneguard to the desired height, and tighten the thumb screws on
each support arm. Be sure to lower and fasten the guard when high winds may
be approaching and before travel.
Wrap Protectors
The front end of the trailer exterior shell may be equipped with stainless steel
protectors covering the lower corner wraps. The protectors provided added
protection from road damage. The protectors can moved out of the way for
cleaning the shell by unbolting and swinging the protectors forward on the
