When closing the storage doors make sure that hands and fingers are clear of pinch points.
Make sure all compartment doors are completely closed, latched and contents are secure
prior to moving the recreation vehicle.
The recreation vehicle is equipped with numerous outside storage compartments. Each door can
be locked for security, except for the Propane Gas compartment.
NOTE: Ensure proper clearance is available for the door to open.
When storing items within the compartment bays, do not overload them with heavy densely packed
items, remember that any weight added to the recreation vehicle affects the overall weight of the
vehicle. Ensure that side-to-side weight is comparable to distribute the load evenly.
Do not climb on or walk on the roof while wet. The roof could be very slippery causing you
to fall, which can result in serious injury or death.
Do not use the roof as an observation platform or storage area, as it is not designed for
these purposes.
NOTE: Four Winds International recommends that roof access be limited to service personnel only.
The exterior rear ladder provides access to the roof for maintenance of the roof and roof mounted
items only. When ascending and descending the ladder, ensure the ladder is clear of debris, such
as water, ice and other slippery substances. Always wear shoes that provide good traction, and
do not wear sandals or other types of slip-on footwear when ascending or descending the ladder.
NOTE: The rear ladder maximum weight capacity is 250 lbs.
