SAFETY:
CAUTION
Throughout this manual
CAUTION
Failure to observe
of personal and/or fatal injury if not observed. As always, safety should be one of your top priorities. Make
sure you, and everyone traveling with you is familiar with and follows these cautions and warnings.
ESCAPE WINDOW OPERATION
Make sure you, and everyone traveling with you can operate the main door and the emergency exit
window(s) rapidly without light. Contemplate other means of escape in case the designated exits are
blocked. Run frequent emergency drills. The escape windows(s) are identified by red release handles and
are opened by lifting up both latches, then turning the latches toward the center. Push out on the glass and it
will swing clear. The window operation should be checked each trip and the latches lubricated with WD-40
or equivalent every six months. A loop is provided in the SCREEN RETAINING SPLINE so it can be
rapidly removed. Take hold of the loop and pull the rubber spline out of the screen frame. The window
screen can then be easily pushed out.
WARNING
: Learn and practice the escape window operation.
WARNING
: Check the emergency escape route outside your escape window at every
stop. At each campsite make sure you have not parked in such a manner as to block the operation of
the escape window by being too close to trees, fences or other impediments. Scenic views are one
reason for traveling, but don't park so the beautiful lake or steep cliff is just outside your escape
window. Never park your trailer so the escape windows cannot be easily used for emergency exits.
WARNING
: You and all your family should practice escape procedures so they can be
rapidly accomplished even in total darkness. Never block the interior or exterior access to the
emergency escape windows.
WARNING
: Read the directions carefully on the fire extinguisher. If there is any doubt
on the operation, you and your family should practice, then replace or recharge the extinguisher.
You will find your local fire department or any fire safety service will be happy to assist you and
answer any questions.
WARNING
: Maintain and check smoke detector per its owner's manual
recommendations.
