CaUTiOn
: Once the steps are lowered, press down on them to
make sure they are secure.
NOTICE: Never travel with step lowered or extended.
Exterior Windows
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
swung clear of the trailer.
Turning the large operating knob counter clockwise opens the standard win-
dows.
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.
Window Solar Stoneguard
Stone guards may be provided for added protection on the front panoramic
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
Certain areas of the front end of the trailer are coated with a clear applied
surface protectorate. This coating will protect the exterior skin coating from
minor scrapes and scratches.
Awnings
Complete instructions have been provided with your awning. You should
make sure your traveling companions are familiar with the operation of the
awning. If a sudden wind should come up, or if high wind and storms are
forecast, the awning should be retracted and stowed.
