Smoke Detector; Emergency Exit Window; Weight Information; Weighing The Unit - NewMar Canyon Star 2011 Owner's Manual

Fire extinguishers are mechanical, pressurized devices. Care must be exercised when they are handled. They must
be maintained as the Operator' s Manual instructs for proper and safe operation. The extinguisher should be
inspected at least once a month. More frequent inspections may be required if the extinguisher is exposed to the
weather or to possible tampering. Do not test the extinguisher by partially discharging. Doing this will cause a
loss of pressure.
If a fire occurs in the vehicle, evacuate the vehicle as quickly and as safely as possible. Consider the cause and the
severity of the fire and the risk involved before trying to extinguish it. If the fire is major or fuel fed, move away
from and stand clear of the vehicle and wait for emergency assistance to arrive.

Smoke Detector

The battery powered smoke detector is mounted on the ceiling in the living area of the unit. Read the operating
instructions for details on the testing and care for this important safety device. Test the smoke detector after the
unit has been in storage, before each trip, and at least once a week during use. The detector should never be
disabled because of nuisance or false alarm from cooking smoke or a dusty furnace. Ventilate the unit with fresh
air and the alarm will shut off. Never disconnect or remove the battery from the smoke alarm. The battery should
be replaced once a year or when the low battery signal sounds.

Emergency Exit Window

In the bedroom of the unit, there is an emergency exit (egress) window. This window is designed to be used as an
additional exit in emergency situations. It can be easily identified by the red color of the handle and the red
" EXIT" label. To open the egress window, lift the handle and push outward on the window. The window can be
closed by pulling the window closed and lowering the handle to the down or locked position.
