EQUIPMENT INSIDE AN ENCLOSED SPACE MAY 
CAUSE ASPHYXIATION AND CREATES A FIRE 
HAZARD. 
 
WARNING:  DO NOT BRING OR STORE LP GAS 
CONTAINERS, GASOLINE OR OTHER 
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, INSIDE THE VIHICLE DUE 
TO THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPLOSION AND FIRE. 
 
A warning label has been attached near the LP 
gas container.  The label reads:  DO NOT FILL 
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF 
CAPACITY. 

 

 
Uncontrolled gas flow can result from overfilling 
LP gas containers, resulting in a fire or 
explosion.  A properly filled container will 
contain approximately 80 percent of its volume 
as liquid. 
 
The following label has been placed in the 
cooking area of the vehicle: 
 
IF YOU SMELL GAS: 

1.

 

Extinguish any open flame, pilot light 
and smoking material. 

2.

 

Do not touch any electrical switch. 

3.

 

Shut off the LP gas supply at the tank 
valve(s) or gas supply connection. 

4.

 

Open doors and other ventilation 
openings. 

5.

 

Leave the area until the odor clears. 

6.

 

Have the gas system checked and 
leakage source corrected before using 
again. 

LP gas regulators must always be installed with 
the diaphragm vent facing down.  Regulators 
that are not in compartments have been 
equipped with a protective cover.  Make sure 
the regulators vent faces down and the cover is 
kept in place to minimize vent blockage; 
blockage could result in excessive gas pressure 
and, therefore, possibly cause a fire or 
explosion. 
 
Notice:  All LP gas regulators are factory tested 
for proper pressure output.  Pressure output 
should be checked periodically by a qualified LP 

dealer.  Only qualified persons should install, 
adjust or service LP gas regulators.  If service is 
needed contact a qualified LP dealer. 
 

GENERAL SAFETY 

 

FIRE SAFETY 

 
Prevention is the best form of fire safety.  
Carefully follow the instructions for the care 
and operation of the various appliances in your 
vehicle (see appropriate sections). 
 
Follow the same basic rules of fire prevention 
that you use at home.    DO NOT SMOKE IN BED.  
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.  
DO NOT PERMIT CHILDREN NEAR THE LP GAS 
CONTROLS OR CONTAINER.  DO NOT STARE 
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS INSIDE THE UNIT. 
 
Carry-over your preparedness from your home 
to your Glacier Ice House by having a pre-
planned escape route.  BE SURE EVERYONE 
KNOWS WHERE THE EMERGENCY EXIT IS 
LOCATED AND HOW IT OPERATES. 
 
Your Glacier Ice House is equipped with a fire 
extinguisher.  MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS 
WHERE IT IS LOCATED, HOW TO OPERATE IT 
AND WHAT TYPES OF FIRES IT IS DESIGNED TO 
HANDLE. 
 
Check the fire extinguisher on a regular basis to 
make sure it is charged. 
 

SMOKE DETECTOR 

 
All units are equipped with a smoke detector.  
Check its operations on a regular basis.  If it 
does not check properly, get it serviced or 
replaced prior to using the vehicle again. 
 
NOTE:  IF A FIRE DOES START WITHING THE 
UNIT, GET ALL OCCUPANTS OUT IMMEDIATELY.  
IF IT IS A SMALL FIRE, USE THE FIRE 
EXTINGUISHER.  IF THE FIRE IS NOT QUICKLY 
PUT OUT, GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.  CONTACT
