SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

A dry chemical fire extinguisher is located
near the floor by the side entrance door.
We recommend that you become thoroughly
familiar with the operating instructions displayed
on the side of the fire extinguisher or in the infor-
mation supplied in your Owner InfoCase.
We also recommend that you inspect the fire
extinguisher for proper charge at least once a
month in accordance with National Fire Protec-
tion Association (NFPA) recommendations as
stated on the label. If the charge is insufficient,
the fire extinguisher must be replaced.
WARNING
Do not test the fire extinguisher by
discharging it. Partial discharge can
cause leakage of pressure or contents
which would render the unit inopera-
tive when needed. When using the
fire extinguisher, aim the spray at the
base of the fire.

SMOKE ALARM

Your motor home is equipped with a smoke
alarm located on the ceiling in the galley area.
This alarm meets U.L. Standard 217 and NFPA
Standard 74 for operation of smoke detection
devices.
1-8
1. The smoke alarm should be tested for correct
operation each time the vehicle is brought
out of storage, before each trip, and at least
once a week during motor home use. To test
the electronics, firmly depress the button. To
test that smoke reaches the sensor, blow
smoke in a careful, fire-safe manner into
your smoke alarm.
Press Button
to Test
2. Your smoke alarm will not work without
power. Never remove the battery to quiet the
alarm. When your smoke alarm "beeps"
about once a minute the battery is weak.
Install a new battery immediately. Be sure to
use only batteries specified in manual or on
unit. Test unit after installing a new battery.
3. Clean and vacuum the openings on your
smoke alarm once a month.
4. Do not open the smoke alarm or try to repair
it. For replacement information see warranty
in Owner's Manual.
5. Smoke alarms have technical limitations and
may not respond in all situations. FIRE PRE-
VENTION is your best safeguard.
See your Owner InfoCase for further informa-
tion.
