SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING
Prior to driving your vehicle, be sure you have read this entire owner's guide and
that you understand your vehicle's equipment completely and how to use the
equipment safely. Read and understand all of the instructions and precautions in
this owner's guide and the chassis manufacturer owner's manual before
operating your new motorhome. Listed below are some safety precautions that
must be adhered to while your motorhome is in motion. These precautions, as
well as others that involve possible damage to equipment, are also listed in the
appropriate areas in this manual.
WARNING
•
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and
stoves, shall not be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this
equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
•
Seats equipped with seat belts are the only ones to be used while the
vehicle is in motion.
•
While the vehicle is in motion, all seats should be locked in the forward
facing position.
•
Passengers should never be allowed to stand or kneel on seats in a moving
vehicle.
•
All passengers must have seat belts fastened in a low and snug position so
that the force exerted by the belt in a collision will be spread across the hip
area. Pregnant women should wear the lap-shoulder belt, with the lap belt
portion worn low and snug.
•
The fire extinguisher should be inspected monthly for proper charge and
operating condition. The smoke alarm should also be tested on a regular
basis. The label on the detector should be removed when preparing the unit
for the first trip. In addition to the recommended inspection, these should
also be checked prior to a vacation or extended trip.
•
Sleeping facilities are not to be used while the vehicle is in motion.
•
Become familiar with the operation of the escape window, but use this
window strictly as an emergency exit.
