Roof Loading - Swift Motorhome Owner's Handbook Manual

ROOF LOADING

A maximum load of 200kgs can be evenly
distributed over the roof area. This figure
MUST NOT be exceeded.
The roof areas, up to the over cab section,
are capable of withstanding an average
person's weight
(13 stone or 82.5kg).
Note: Do not walk on the over cab section.
Some motorhome roofs can be fitted with a
roof rack (optional).
It is permitted to stand inside the roof rack
fitted to the roof. The roof section beyond
the rack is not designed for walking on.
Note: When loading the roof rack, make sure
the load is spread evenly and do not allow
sharp objects to come into contact with the
roof surface.
WARNING: When walking on the roof
rack, deck type shoes should be worn -
not leather soles.
TYRES
The law requires that the tyres and pressures
must be suitable for the use to which they
are being put. The minimum tread depth
must be 1.6mm throughout a continuous
band comprising the centre three-quarters of
the breadth of the tread and around the
circumference of the tyre.
Please refer to base vehicle manufacturer's
handbook for tyre pressure information. This
may also be displayed in the driver's door
aperture.
