Electrical System Safety; Safety When Emergency Stopping; Additional Safety Considerations - Jayco Mini-Motorhome Owner's Manual

It is very important to have the LP gas turned off during refueling. Some states prohibit
gas appliances to be operated during travel, especially in underground tunnels.
Never allow gas containers to be filled above the liquid capacity indicated on the
container. If a container is overfilled, liquid gas may flow through the regulator causing
it to freeze and/or introduce a dangerous excessive gas pressure into the lines. In
addition, an overfilled container placed in hot sunlight may expel excess gas through the
relief valve and be susceptible to ignition by any nearby open flame.

Electrical System Safety

Circuit breakers and fuses are installed to protect electrical circuits from overloading. Do
not make unauthorized changes to circuitry or add on fixed appliances yourself. If you
wish to make changes, consult your dealer and he will assist you in obtaining a safe
installation.
An approved power supply cord has been supplied with the vehicle. Always use this cord
for hookup to the 120-volt source. Note that the cord has a three pin plug, which provides
proper grounding through the third (round) pin. Grounding is your personal protection
from electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not use an adapter, cheater, or extension cord that will
break the continuity of the grounding circuit connected to the third pin.
NEVER remove the grounding pin to connect a non-grounded, two-prong
receptacle. Any deviation from this will potentially cause a fire from
overheating.

Safety When Emergency Stopping

Pull off the roadway as far as possible for emergency situations and turn on the vehicular
hazard warning flashers. If necessary, display your road flags and/or reflective triangular
highway warning devices.
NOTE: Always carry road flags and/or reflective triangular highway warning devices
to be displayed when necessary.

Additional Safety Considerations

WARNING: For traveling safety, it is important to make sure the tie
down straps are secured on all appliances such as the television, coffee
maker, etc. Vibration caused during travel will move the appliances
creating the potential for them to fall out of their cabinets possibly
causing injury.
• Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see sanitizing instructions).
• Prevent water connection fittings from coming in contact with the ground or drain hose
to reduce chance of contamination.
• Enlist services of a qualified or certified RV technician to repair and maintain gas or elec-
trical appliances.
• Always have a serviceable fire extinguisher placed in an easily accessible location.
