DRIVING & SAFETY — 2

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

The fi re extinguisher in the motorhome is
located near the main entrance door. Please read
the operating instructions that are printed on the
fi re extinguisher. If there is any doubt on how
to operate the fi re extinguisher practice using it.
Be sure to replace or recharge the extinguisher
immediately after use.
Inspect the fi re extinguisher at
least once a month. Do so more
frequently if the extinguisher is
exposed to weather or possible
tampering. DO NOT test
the extinguisher by partially
discharging. Internal pressure will
escape and the fi re extinguisher
will need to be replaced.
Use the PASS word!
Pull the pin to unlock the extinguisher.
Aim at the base (bottom) of the fi re and
stand 6 to 10 ft. away.
Squeeze the lever to discharge the agent.
Sweep the spray from left to right until
totally extinguished.
WARNING:
Road vibration will
cause extinguisher
powder to compact and
may cause extinguisher
malfunction. Invert
and shake extinguisher
monthly.

Three classes of fi re can occur within a
motorhome. A fi re can fall into more than one
class. For example, a fi re that involves both
burning paper and kitchen grease is a Class
AB fi re.
Classes of Fire:
A - Fires fueled by materials that leave a
residue when they burn: paper, wood, cloth,
rubber, and certain plastics.
B - Fires involving fl ammable liquids and
gases: gasoline, paint thinner, kitchen grease,
propane and acetylene.
C - Fires that involve energized electrical
wiring or equipment. If electricity to the
020073
equipment is turned off, a class C fi re
becomes one of the other two class fi res.
