It is very important to have the LP gas turned off during refueling of tow vehicles. Some
states prohibit traveling with LP container(s) open, 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 hook-up to the 120-volt AC 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.
Safety When Emergency Stopping
Pull off the roadway as far as possible for emergency situations and turn on the vehicular
hazard lights. 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
• 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.
• Carefully read the section on loading cargo in Chapter 3.
• Ensure that tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Proper inflation should be
monitored closely. Neglecting to do so could result in overheating of a tire, which could
result in a blowout.
• Check and tighten wheel lugs after the first 10 miles, 25 miles, and 50 miles when new
and after a wheel has been removed. Check perodically thereafter.
• Check brakes in a safe area - not while traveling a busy highway.
