Propane Detector
• This detector senses propane in the air, not smoke
or fire or other gases. It detects the presence of
propane at the sensor; explosive gas may be pres-
ent in other areas.
• Test your propane detector weekly. If the alarm is
located behind a closed door, it may not be heard.
• DO NOT attempt to repair the detector. If it fails the
test, change batteries. If it still does not function
properly, replace the entire unit.

Fire Safety

Fire safety is an important part of owning a recreational
vehicle. The following basic rules of fire prevention can
help eliminate the possibility of a fire.
1. Never store flammable liquids in the recreational
vehicle.
2. Never leave cooking food unattended.
3. Never smoke in bed and always use an ashtray.
4. Never allow children to play with propane or electri-
cal equipment.
5. Never use an open flame as a flashlight.
6. Have faulty or damaged wiring and electrical com-
ponents repaired immediately.
7. Never overload electrical circuits.
8. Locate any propane leaks and have them repaired
immediately.
9. Keep cooking surfaces clean and free from debris.
10. Don't allow rubbish to accumulate.
11. Never clean with a flammable substance.
12. Spray fabrics annually with a flame retardant.
NOTE:
Be sure that everyone in your RV is familiar with the
location of all exits, including exit windows.
NOTE:
Make sure everyone is familiar with the location and
proper operation of all fire extinguishers.
Evacuate everyone from the recreational vehicle
immediately.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE WATER TO PUT OUT A
FIRE. Water can spread some types of fire, and
electrocution is possible.
Get everyone outside, and then determine if you
should attempt to extinguish the fire. If it is a large
fire or a chemical fire, DO NOT HESITATE!
Leave the vehicle immediately and call the fire
department!
Propane regulators must always be installed with
the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators
that are not in compartments have been equipped
with a protective cover. Be sure that the regulator
vent faces downward and the cover is kept in place
to minimize vent blockage, which could result in
excessive propane pressure causing fire or explo-
sion.
