Windows - Swift Motorhome Owners Service Manual

Windows

To open, turn knobs anti-clockwise and open
catches. Swivel the window pane open to the
desired position and close knobs clockwise to
lock in the open position.
To close, reverse the operation.
All opening windows have two catch positions.
The first position is for ventilation the second
seals the window from ventilation and rain.
Acrylic (Plastic) Window Condensation
Unlike domestic double glazed windows, your
motorhomes window are not vacuum sealed
instead the double panes of acrylic plastic
with are fitted with a breathable plug on the
inner pane.
It is possible, in weather where extremes
in temperatures occur between night and
day, that customer will notice condensation
between the panes. The same phenomenon
may also occur when washing your vehicle on
a hot day.
The condensation should clear itself when
the ambient conditions return to normal and
the air between the panes dries. However, if
this is taking a longer time than required, the
breathable plug (normally located in the top
corner of the window) can be removed, with
a pin or sharp object, and replaced when the
panes are dry. Care should be taken when
doing this.

Acrylic (Plastic) Window Cleaning
The material used to produce most
motorhome windows is acrylic plastic. While
the acrylic used is very durable, it is able to
be scratched with relative ease and therefore,
care must be taken when clearing your vehicle
not to use aggressive clearing products.
Equally, care should be taken when using a
drying cloth that it is clean and free from grit.
S2000/S3000 blinds (Seitz)
Rubber window seals should be cleaned
periodically and talcum powder can be used to
keep the profiles in good condition.
Blinds and Flyscreens
Flyscreen and blinds operate in the same
manner. The flyscreen can only be 'fully up'
or 'fully' down, but the blind also has an
intermediate position.
To operate, pull down by holding the
fingergrip(s), gently ease towards the window
to locate the catches. To retract, pull down
easing away from the window to release the
catches and guide to the required position.
• Only operate by holding the fingergrip(s) -
pulling on one side will cause uneven running
and snagging.
• Do not allow the blind or flyscreen to re-coil
without control.
• It is not recommended that blinds and/or
flyscreens are left in the down position for
long periods, or when travelling, as this can
result in fatigue of the spring.
