ROOF LADDER
–If Equipped
The ladder on your vehicle is provided for
limited access to the roof.
Walking or working on the roof should be left
to qualified service personnel using proper safety
equipment in a safe environment. You should
only walk or work on the roof if you are qualified
and have created a safe environment.
For your safety, it is not recommended that
you store or carry items on the roof.
Before Using the Ladder
•
Inspect the ladder
to make sure it is not
damaged. Never use a damaged ladder.
•
Keep the rungs of the ladder clean and dry
while in use. Never use the ladder when it is
raining, snowing, or icy. The rungs can
become slippery. Do not step onto the rungs if
the rungs are wet, or if your shoes are wet or
carry mud or debris that could result in a loss
of footing.
•
Never ignore warning labels
or weight limits
defined on your ladder. The following
warning label is located on or near the ladder:
•
Maximum Capacity: 225 lbs.
•
Do not overload.
Ladder is intended for one
person.
•
Make sure you are physically capable
to
safely use the ladder. Strength, flexibility, and
stability are required.
•
Be aware that the vehicle may sway
as you
climb the ladder. Do not use the ladder in high
winds.
•
As you climb the ladder,
grasp the side rails
firmly and always use both hands. Keep your
body centered between the side rails. Do not
over-reach.
•
Never allow children
on the ladder.
•
Do not transport items
anchored to the
ladder. You could damage the ladder.
STORAGE COMPARTMENT
DOORS
The high-density gaskets used on the exterior
storage compartments are designed to provide a
more positive seal against dust and weather.
Sometimes this seal firmness can inhibit
complete latching of the compartment doors if
they are simply “dropped shut” or closing force is
applied only to the center of the door.
To ensure that exterior storage compartment
doors have latched properly, press firmly on the
bottom edges (side edges - if equipped) of the
doors with the palms of your hands. If the door is
ajar you will hear and feel a loud “click” when
the latches engage properly.
COMPARTMENT LIGHTS
SWITCH
The Compartment Lights switch powers the
lights inside of the compartments. This switch is
located near the entrance door.
•
Press the switch UP (On) to supply power to
the compartment lights.
•
Press the switch DOWN (Off) to disable
power to the compartment lights.
NOTE: The Compartment Lights switch provides
power to the compartment lights. You
must manually turn each individual
compartment light on or off inside of the
compartments.
We recommend turning this switch OFF when
the coach is not in use to avoid battery drain if a
compartment light is left on accidentally.
WARNING
STAY OFF ROOF. Surface may be
slippery. Falling could result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Do not exceed 225-lb. maximum weight capacity.
Misuse of ladder could result in death or serious injury.
See Operators Manual before using ladder.
