Safety
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is installed in each vehicle and is located near the entrance door in the
trailer. Be familiar with its location and operating instructions as printed on the
extinguisher and any material from the extinguisher supplier or manufacturer. It is too late
to become familiar with an extinguisher when an emergency is at hand.
The fire extinguisher is a dry chemical, nonrefillable extinguisher. Do not test this
extinguisher by partially discharging. Doing so will cause loss of pressure making the
extinguisher unusable. The extinguisher must be discarded and replaced by a new one if
any use has occurred.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
To insure that your fire extinguisher will be ready when needed:
• Read and follow all instructions on label and in owner's manual.
• Inspect the extinguisher AT LEAST once a month - more frequently if exposed to
weather or possible tampering.
• Check pressure by pressing in white indicator button. If button does not spring back,
extinguisher will not work properly and must be discarded.
• Be sure the yellow lock pin is firmly in place.
• Keep the extinguisher clean. Check for dents, scratches, corrosion or any other
damage.
• Check the discharge nozzle. Make sure it is clean and free of obstructions.

CAUTION: Under certain fire and heat conditions, the dry chemical
powder in the extinguisher (and similar units) will cause damage or
prove extremely difficult to remove from oven surfaces, including
self-cleaning models. Do not use self-cleaning feature to remove ABC
Powder.

CAUTION: Avoid inhaling the dry chemical agent contained in the
extinguisher. It is not toxic, but may cause skin irritation. In case of
contact, flush affected area with clean, cool water. If irritation persists,
contact a physician immediately. Chemical name of agent is printed on
extinguisher label.
Smoke Detector
A smoke detector is supplied with your trailer. This safety device must be correctly
maintained to work properly and warn you of smoke in your trailer. Make sure that you
read, understand and follow all warnings, cautions, operating and maintenance instructions
supplied by the smoke detector manufacturer.

WARNING: Improper maintenance of the smoke alarm as instructed
by the smoke alarm manufacturer creates the potential for property
damage, personal injury or death. Make sure that everyone knows and
understands the procedures to follow if the alarm is sounded.
