HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
ROOFLIGHTS
Your caravan is fitted with at least one type of
the following roof lights.
The Omivent (12v) Rooflight
The Omivent is a double-glazed roof light
constructed from a synthetic ultra-violet
screened material. Its side-operating
mechanism allows a completely free central
opening with built-in fixed ventilation when
closed. It operates as an extractor fan and air
intake fan.
Please note: Do not change the direction of
the fan unless it has been switched off ‘O’
position and the blades have stopped
rotating.
The Heki 2 Rooflight
To open to the tilted position:
(i) Press the knob in the toggle catches on
either side of the rooflight and turn
through approx. 90
°
.
(ii) Grasp the metal bar in the middle, snap it
out of its holder, swivel down and press
the rooflight upwards. (The rooflight is
held by the two gas springs after approx.
150mm).
(iii) Swivel the metal bar towards the rooflight
and snap into its holder.
