FIRE SAFETY
Page 1 of 3
The hazard and possibility of fire exists in all areas of life, and the
ft';creationallife-style is no exception. Your motor home is a complex machine
made up of many materials - some of them flammable. But like most hazards,
the possibility of fire can be minimized, if not totally eliminated, by recogniz-
ing the danger and practicing commonsense safety and maintenance habits.
The.fire extinguisher furnished with your motor home is rated for Class B
(diesel fuel, gasoline, grease,
flamm~ble
liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires
since thes.e are the most common types of fires in vehicles. Read the
instructions on the fire extinguisher. Know where it is located and how and
when to use it
Fire extinguishers are pressurized, mechanical devices.· They must be
handled with care and treated with respect. They must be maintained as
outlined in any maintenance instructions provided with the device so they are
ready to operate properly and safely. Parts or internal chemicals may deterio-
rate in time and need replacement. Always follow maintenance and recharging
instructions provided by the fire extinguisher manufacturer.

off all pilot flames, their ignitors, and appliances in
