FIRE SAFETY
The hazard and possibility of fire exists in all
areas of life, and the recreational life-style is no
exception. Your RV is a complex machine made
up of many materials, some of them flammable.
But like most hazards, the possibility of fire can
be minimized, if not totally eliminated, by recog-
nizing the danger and practicing common sense,
safety and maintenance habits.
Know where your fire extinguisher is located and
how and when to use it. Read the instructions on
the fire extinguisher. Remember that portable fire
extinguishers are intended for use by the occu-
pants of a building or area that is threatened by
fire. They are most valuable when used immedi-
ately on small fires. They have a limited amount
of fire-extinguishing material, and therefore must
be used properly so this material is not wasted.
Fire extinguishers are pressurized, mechanical
devices. They must be handled with care and
treated with respect. They must be maintained as
outlined in any maintenance instructions provided
with the device so they are ready to operate prop-
erly and safely. Parts or internal chemicals may
deteriorate in time and need replacement. Always
follow maintenance and recharging instructions
provided by the fire extinguisher manufacturer.
Maintain proper charge in the fire extinguisher.
Fire Safety Precautions
In addition to instructing occupants on what to
do in case of fire, and holding fire drills periodi-
cally , consider these fire safety suggestions:
• If you experience a fire while traveling,
maintain control of the vehicle until you can
safely stop. Evacuate the vehicle as quickly
and safely as possible.
• If you experience a fire while camped,
evacuate the vehicle as quickly and safely
as possible.
• Consider the cause and severity of the fire
WARNING
Do not re-enter the vehicle untill the source of the
propane leak has been identified and repaired.

NOTE
For additional information regarding the operation of
the propane alarm consult the “Owner’s Information
Package” supplied with the vehicle.

WARNING
Urethane foam is flam mable !
Do not expose urethane foams to open flames or any
other direct or indirect high temperature sources of
ignition such as burning operations, welding, burning
cigarettes, space heaters or unprotected electric light
bulbs.
Once ignited, urethane foams will burn rapidly, releas-
ing great heat and consuming oxygen very quickly.
In an enclosed space the resulting deficiency of
oxygen will present a danger of suffocation to the
occupants. Hazardous gases released by the burning
foam can be incapacitating or fatal to human beings if
inhaled in sufficient quantities.
