cause a hazardous condition. Consult your local independent, authorized dealer prior to
making any changes, modifications or additions. Only qualified technicians should attempt
to make changes or additions to the RV, using only approved materials, component parts,
and employing approved methods of installation, which meet safety and code
requirements.

CAUTION: Any installation not properly performed or that does not
meet the criteria of the manufacturer's specifications, or code
requirements, may damage the RV, including component parts and
VOIDS THE WARRANTY on the RV.

WARNING: Improper installation of equipment to your trailer creates
potential for a hazardous situation and personal injury. Make sure that
a qualified RV technician performs modifications if you choose to make
them.
Additional Safety Considerations
I
WARNING: For traveling safety, it is extremely important to read,
understand and follow the towing, hitching and loading cargo
information provided in the "Before you Travel..." chapter. If you do
not understand the information provided, please consult your
independent, authorized dealer.
• Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see sanitizing instructions).
• Prevent water connections from coming in contact with the ground or drain hose to
reduce chance of contamination.
• Have a certified RV technician repair and maintain the propane or electrical
appliances.
• Always have a serviceable fire extinguisher placed in an easily accessible location.
• Carefully read the loading section in the "Before you Travel..." chapter related to
your trailer.
• Ensure that the tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Monitor the tire
pressure closely for proper inflation. Neglecting to do so could result in overheating
of a tire, which could result in a blowout.
• Check and tighten the wheel lugs after the first 10 miles, 25 miles and then again
after 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers). Check periodically as described in the axle
manufacturer's manual thereafter.
• Check the brakes in a safe area - not while traveling on a busy highway.
• Always block the trailer wheels solidly before unhitching from the tow vehicle.
• Never move the unit while people are inside.
