The factory-installed fuel tank must be filled

fuel type recommended by your aftermarket

AUGE
Your trailer is equipped with an interior fuel
gauge to monitor the amount of fuel available
for use. The switch adjacent to the fuel gauge
must be turned "ON" for the gauge to operate.
If the fuel gauge is not turned off after
checking the fuel level, it will continue to drain
energy from the battery.
To avoid running the
battery down, always make sure that the fuel
gauge switch is turned off when not in use.

UMES
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain
carbon monoxide, which is a potentially toxic
gas that is colorless and odorless.
□ Always shut OFF the tow vehicle engine,
generator engine (if applicable), etc., while
refueling.
□ Do not run the tow vehicle engine,
generator engine (if applicable), etc., in
confined areas, such as a closed garage,
any longer than needed to move your RV
in or out of the area.
□ Windows should be closed while driving or
running the generator (if so equipped) to
avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases
into the RV.
□ If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the RV have the cause
determined and corrected as soon as
possible.
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the RV is a properly maintained
ventilation system and an active carbon
monoxide detector. To allow for proper
operation of the RV ventilation system, keep
the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of snow,
leaves or other obstructions at all times.
Working with fuel can be dangerous.
Serious injury or death could result from
improper handling of the generator, fuel
station and fuel.
If you are in a RV with either a nearby tow
vehicle engine running or the generator (if
so equipped) running there is a potential
for exhaust fumes to filter back into the
RV.
