Exterior Structure

• The maximum load capacity is 130 kg.
• Never exceed the permissible rear axle load.
• The load carrier reduces the rear ramp angle of the ve-
hicle. When driving over uneven surfaces the carrier can
touch the ground.
• When the load carrier is fully loaded the rear axle is sub-
ject to an additional load and the front axle is unloaded.
This can result in signicant changes in the motor home’s
handling, steering and braking performance.
• The rear number plate must be centrally mounted bet-
ween the load carrier’s number plate lights.
• Please note, when the load carrier is in use it is forbidden
to use any existing towing xture which may still be ac-
cessible simultaneously.
The load carrier can be tted with special kits, e.g. for bi-
cycles, luggage boxes or similar. Only SAWIKO mounting
adapters are permitted for use; if other makes are used
all guarantee claims will be forfeit.
5.7 Sun awning
As an optional extra your motor home can be tted with a sun
awning. Depending on the model the awning is either inte-
grated into the lipping or attached to one of the side walls.
• An awning offers protection from the sun, not against
the elements.
• Do not place people or obstacles in the extension/re
-
traction area of the awning.
• The awning winding mechanism is tted with a mecha
-
nical block control to limit the extent to which it can be
extended. Never attempt to exceed the block control by
force.
• Always support the awning with the integrated struts
when extended.
• The awning must always be completely retracted and
secured before driving.
