Rear Hatch and Screen

Some models are equipped with a rear hatch and pull-
down screen� With the handle in the latched position
(shown above) lift up and rotate the handle clockwise,
till the handle is in the opposite direction, to unlatch the
door and pull open� When closing the hatch make sure
the handle is in the unlatched, left side, position� Close
the hatch and rotate the handle counter-clockwise so
the handle is in the latched, right side, position� Always
be sure to lock the rear hatch when not in use� When
the rear hatch is opened a screen can be pulled down
from the hatch's upper threshold and latched, via
magnets, onto the floor. To open, simply pull up on the
screen and allow it to retract upwards�

Emergency Escape Windows

To remove the screen pull out the screen cord by the
cord loop at the bottom portion of the window� Turn
the two red latches inward and lift the two red arms on
each side, in unison, to open the window and push it
out for clearance�

Front End Protection

Window Stone Guards

The tinted solar plexiglass window stone guards on the
front of your Airstream provide added protection from
road debris while traveling and reduce the effects of
sun rays�
Raise the center window guard to allow air to flow
when the window is open� To raise, unhook the
two rubber T-handles on the bottom of the guard,
lift the guard to the desired height, and tighten the
thumbscrews on each support arm� Be sure to lower
and fasten the guard when high winds are approaching
and before travel�
The corner window guards are removable for cleaning�
Airstream recommends removing the corner guards
from the unit when cleaning to avoid damaging the
guards� There are two screws on each corner guard
near the center guard� A quarter-turn will loosen the
screws, and the guards will swing outward on their
hinges� Lift the guards off the hinges to remove them�
NOTICE
Close window guards before high winds and
storm conditions approach, or when towing to
avoid damage to the trailer and window guards
that cannot be covered by warranty.

Stainless Steel Rock Guards

Stainless steel rock guards protect the front end from
road debris� You can clean behind the rock guards by
swinging them forward on their hinges� They are locked
in place with two acorn-style nuts, removable with a
7/16" wrench�
