EARTHBOUND RECREATIONAL VEHICLE TRAILER OWNER'S MANUAL
BASIC RULES FOR SAFETY
WARNING
: Do not store LP containers within a vehicle. LP containers are equipped
with safety devices that vent gas should the pressure become excessive.
WARNING
: Do not use cooking appliances for comfort heating. Cooking appliances need
fresh air for safe operation. Before operation open an overhead vent or turn on an exhaust fan and
open a window.
A warning label has been located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of
fresh air for combustion. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the
recreational vehicle; and, proper ventilation when using the cooking appliances will avoid dangers of
asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating as
the danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time.
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.
WARNING
: DO NOT FILL CONTAINER (S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause fire or
explosion. A properly filled container will contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid
LP gas.
WARNING
: Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline or other flammable liquids
inside the vehicle because a fire or explosion may result.
WARNING
: IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
