Swing Latch Operation:
1. Remove window screens or other window obstructions
and set aside, well out of the way of the egress window.
Screens are removed by rotating the red tab located in
the bottom corners of the screen frame.
2. Push the red handle towards the window frame and li
it to release from the latch. Egress window latches vary
in style, but all will be clearly marked with an ‘Exit’ label
and be red in color.
3. Rotate the handle until it is perpendicular to the window
frame.
4. Push the handle, which opens the window. If the
window pane is stuck, pushing on the window pane's
frame may be necessary in order to free it from the
window seal. Continue to push the handle until it is
completely clear of the slot in the window frame.
Lever Latch Operation
Egress windows may have a latch style similar to the
illustration below. Larger windows may have two similarly
styled latches.
To operate:
1. Locate red window latch.
2. Lift and rotate latch to unlock window.
3. With latch completely in the upright position, push
window open.
Additional egress window information:
• When an egress window does not have a screen, it is
only intended for use as an egress window and is not
intended to be used for ventilation purposes. However,
some models may be equipped with a window screen.
For safety reasons, do not add a window screen to an
egress window if one did not come factory installed.
• Emergency egress windowpanes may be designed to
break- away when opened beyond a certain angle. Unless
an emergency exists, DO NOT open the egress window
more than a 45-degree angle; the pane may dislodge
from the frame.
• To avoid window damage, the egress window must be
closed tight and locked when the motorhome is traveling.
• Release latch mechanisms will vary depending on the
egress window design. e egress window may be hinged
at the top or side, be designed to breakaway, or feature
sliding windowpane(s).
• Open egress windows at least twice a year and lubricate
the seals to keep the seals pliable and prevent sticking.
