Ventilation to the cabin area and head is provided by deck hatches.
DECK HATCH
The deck hatch is supported in the open position by an adjustable hatch adjuster. To close the hatch, loosen
the hatch adjuster and lower the hatch. Secure in the closed position with the two cam levers on the inside
of the hatch. The levers that secure the hatch have spacers that can be removed to increase the tension provided
by the levers.
OPEN FLAMES DEMAND CONSTANT ATTENTION. OPEN FLAME COOKING APPLIANCES
CONSUME OXYGEN WHICH CAN CAUSE ASPHYXIATION OR DEATH. ALWAYS MAIN-
TAIN OPEN VENTILATION. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF VENTILATION OPENINGS, ASK
YOUR DEALER OR THE PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT. LIQUID FUEL
MAY IGNITE CAUSING SEVERE BURNS. BE SURE TO USE FUEL APPROPRIATE FOR
THE TYPE OF STOVE AND TURN OFF THE STOVE BURNER BEFORE FILLING. DO NOT
USE COOKING STOVES FOR COMFORT HEATING. NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK
FOR LEAKS.

The windshield is equipped with an opening vent panel on each side of the windshield. To open the vent,
release the locking T-handle and rotate it outboard until it locks in place. To prevent damage to the vent glass,
do not leave the T-handle in the unlocked position.
