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.
EFFECTS OF PROLONGED
OCCUPANCY
Your motor home was designed primarily for
recreational use and short-term occupancy. If you
expect to occupy your coach for an extended
period, be prepared to deal with condensation and
humid conditions that may be encountered.
Humidity and Condensation
Moisture condensing on the inside of
windows is a visible indication that there is too
much humidity inside the coach. Excessive
moisture can cause water stains or mildew, which
can damage interior items such as upholstery and
cabinets.
When you recognize the signs of excessive
moisture and condensation in your coach, you
should take immediate action to minimize their
effects.
You can help reduce excessive moisture
inside the motor home by taking the following
steps:
Ventilate with outside air
Partially open one or more windows and a
roof vent to circulate outside air through the
coach. In cold weather, this ventilation may
increase use of the furnace, but it will greatly
reduce the condensation inside the coach.
Minimize moisture released inside the
coach
Run the range hood fan while cooking and
open a bath vent while bathing or showering to
carry water vapor out of the coach. Avoid making
steam from boiling water excessively or letting
hot water run. Avoid bringing extra moisture into
the coach by way of soaked clothing or snow on
shoes. Do not hang-dry wet overcoats or clothing
inside the coach.
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.
