EXTERIOR LADDER (page 100)
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leave items attached to it while traveling. DO NOT exceed the weight rating of
the ladder. The ladder weight capacity label is located under the bottom step of the ladder. There should never be more than one person on the
ladder at the same time.
Self-Storing ladders: Make sure to pull all pins (there may be up to 4) to unlock the ladder. All pins must be re-inserted when locking the ladder
open for use.
LADDER CAPACITY MAXIMUM 300 lbs. (136 kg)
DO NOT exceed the ladder maximum weight rating.
The maximum rating includes the person's weight PLUS weight of items carried.
When climbing:
•
Always face the ladder.
•
Climb slowly with weight centered between side rails.
•
Keep a 3 point contact on the ladder at all times (3 point contact-two hands and a foot or two feet and one hand).
Keep hands free.
•
Use of accessories such as lanyards to keep carried items tethered will keep hands free and prevent falling items.
•
Heavy or bulky items should be brought up only after reaching the roof.
Do not use the ladder if damaged in any way.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
PAINTED SURFACES (page 98)
Do not use waxes containing high-abrasive compounds. Such waxes remove rust and stains effectively from the paint work, but they are also
harmful to the luster of the painted surface since they scrape off the coating. Further, they are detrimental to glossy surfaces, such as the grille,
garnish, moldings, etc. Do not use gasoline or paint thinners to remove road tar or other contamination to the painted surface.
Do not use a buffer and a buffing compound as it may damage the exterior surface. Please contact a professional paint body shop for assistance.
PLASTIC PARTS (page 99)
Do not allow plastic to come into contact with brake fluid, engine oil, grease, paint thinner, or battery acid. These will damage plastic. Use a soft
cloth and a mild detergent solution to wipe away any such contact.
SEALANTS (page 101)
Failure to properly maintain or reseal your recreation vehicle may result in serious water damage to the roof and other parts of the recreation
vehicle. This damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
To check the exterior sidewall sealants, use a stepladder placed safely alongside the vehicle. Do not prop a ladder against the body of the RV as
it may damage the exterior finish.
