Ventilation; Security - Swift Tourer Owner's Handbook Manual

VENTILATION

All caravans comply with BS EN 721. The
ventilation points on your caravan are fixed
points of ventilation which are required by the
European Standards.
All caravans have ventilation at high level and
low level which have been calculated to suit
the individual needs of your caravan.
High level ventilation is achieved by means of
the roof lights and washroom roof ventilators.
The low level ventilators are positioned
underneath the oven housing. Some models
with sliding doors have two vents located
underneath the sliding doors.
Under no circumstances must these vents be
blocked or obstructed.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points
are checked and cleaned (if necessary) on
a regular basis using a small brush and a
domestic vacuum cleaner.
Additional night time ventilation is obtained
by releasing the window catches and placing
them in the second groove. Note the windows
are not sealed from rain in this position.
As the ventilation levels are calculated to suit
each models requirements there should be
no modifications made which may result in
reduced ventilation levels.
WARNING: Do not obstruct ventilation.
PETROL/DIESEL FUMES
The fitting of a tail pipe extension to your
car exhaust will reduce the possibility of
fumes entering your caravan through the
ventilation points.
Note: Never allow modification of electrical
or LPG systems and appliances except by
qualified persons at an authorised
Swift Group dealership.

SECURITY

Caravan theft
The theft of a caravan can occur in the most
unlikely circumstances; from a motorway
service area, even from an owner's driveway.
Secure all windows and doors when your
caravan is unoccupied even if only for a short
length of time.
Chassis number
Your 17 digit serial number chassis number
can be found on your windows and on the
offside chassis member of the drawbar. It is
also stated on the manufacturers weight plate
next to the doorway.
Make a note of this number in the space
provided at the front of this handbook and
make a separate note of the number to keep
safe at home.
ADDITIONAL SECURITY
Consider fitting any device which might deter
or prevent intrusion by thieves.
A hitch lock cover prevents towing of
the caravan.
A wheel lock prevents towing of the caravan
and removal of the wheel (some models are
provided with an AL-KO Secure device).
Customers are advised to identify their caravan
with a method for subsequent identification if
other forms of identification have been altered
or removed.
Free crime prevention advice about securing
your caravan, protecting your valuables,
property marking, either at home or whilst
on site, can be obtained from the Crime
Prevention Officer through your local
Police Station.
