Warranty
2
All the illustrations and descriptive matter in
this handbook are intended to give a general
idea of the motorhome. Changing market
and supply situations and our policy of
continuous product development may
prevent us from maintaining the exact
specifications detailed in this handbook. We
therefore reserve the right to alter
specifications as materials and conditions
demand.
Dealers are not agents of Swift Group
Limited, the manufacturer of Swift Group
motorhomes and have absolutely no
authority to bind the manufacturer by any
express or implied undertaking or
representation.
All motorhomes (other than the engine,
chassis cab and associated parts referred to
earlier in this handbook which are subject to
the relevant chassis manufacturer's
warranty) have a 3 year SuperSure
manufacturer's warranty from the date of

to a chargeable annual service and

During the warranty period, subject to the
exclusions set out in this section of the
handbook, the manufacturer, Swift Group

all defective parts of the motorhome. For any
engine, chassis cab and associated parts
warranty issues please contact your local

serviced annually within 90 days before or

General terms applying to all three years
of the warranty period
The motorhome is not covered for:-
• The failure of a component for reasons of
fair wear and tear.
• Damage resulting from accidents.
• Misuse of any component.
• Normal deterioration or negligence of any
person other than the Swift Group
Limited which causes stoppage of or
impairment to the function of any
component of the motorhome.

The warranty will be invalidated if the

neglected if it has not been serviced and

The warranty only applies to motorhomes
purchased and used within the UK, and for
continuous journeys abroad of no longer
than 90 days per journey.
The cost of transporting, towing or moving
the motorhome by any means to or from the
place of repair is the responsibility of the
owner.
The benefit of this warranty may be
transferred to a new owner if the motorhome
is sold, provided that the motorhome has
been serviced by an authorised Swift Group
Service Centre in accordance with the
requirements of this handbook, and details
of the change of ownership have been
supplied to Swift Group using the change of
ownership form set out in this handbook.
Failure to notify Swift Group of a change of
ownership within 14 days of such a change
will invalidate the warranty.
This warranty only applies to motorhomes
purchased in the UK.
You have legal rights under UK law
governing the sale of consumer goods. This
warranty does not affect your legal rights.
The name and address of the warranty
provider is:-

Congratulations on purchasing an Ace product. We are confident that you will enjoy many

we hope that this guide will be of assistance to you.

Service/Inspection
5
MOTORHOMES - ANNUAL SERVICE/INSPECTION RECORD
In order to comply with the warranty, you must have your motorhome inspected and
serviced by an authorised Swift Group Service Centre at least once per year.
It is important that the owner’s handbook is stamped on the appropriate page by the
authorised Swift Group Service Centre. Failure to do this will invalidate the warranty and the
transfer of the warranty on the change of ownership.
The inspection should take approximately two hours and will cover the areas dealt with in
the annual service check list. Any areas requiring service and/or maintenance will be
highlighted by your dealer and we recommend that you authorise any necessary work to be
carried out.
NB. It is essential, to validate the warranty, that an annual inspection be carried out by an
authorised Swift Group Service Centre covering the items listed.
Just as the engine/gearbox/roadwheels need regular servicing by your chassis dealer,
so there are components in your conversion that need regular maintenance by your
motorhome dealer.
These include the gas and electrical systems and the seals in the bodywork. Your dealer
will complete the record in this handbook to show that the work has been carried out.
1. Damp and lamination test.
2. Chassis and chassis to body security.
3. Corner steadies.
4. Motorhome step.
5. Road lights, wiring and reflectors.
6. Internal lights and 12V DC system.
7. Water heater - gas and 230V AC.
8. Hob, grill and oven.
9. Refrigerator 230V AC, 12V DC and gas.
10. Gas system.
11. Water pump, taps and water system.
12. Mains 230V AC system.
13. Windows and fittings.
14. Roof lights.
15. Furniture hinges/stays etc.
16. Exterior locks and hinges.
17. All internal vents.
18. Seals.

Towing Capabilities
CAUTION: When fitting a towbar, it must meet certain minimum requirements as specified by Type Approval Regulations. The bar will have marked
on it the approval standard (94/20/EC) and the maximum download, or noseweight, that it can accept. It must fit the manufacturer’s
approved mounting points and must not obscure the towing vehicle’s number plate. The towbar must be fitted to an extension that is
capable of transferring the towbar loads to the rear of the Fiat chassis.
To ensure adequate road holding, the load on the front axle, under all conditions, must not be less than 42% of the total weight.
Care must be taken when distributing loads. The loadings above are maximum loadings and must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
