Fire Safety
If a fire does start, follow these basic safety rules:
1.
Evacuate the vehicle immediately and call 911.
2.
After everyone is accounted for, check the fire to see if you can attempt to put it out.
3.
If it is large, or the fire is fuel-fed, get clear of the vehicle and have the Fire Department
handle the emergency.
4.
Do not attempt to use water to put out the fire. Water can spread some types of fire, and
electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.
Refer to the following sections for additional fire safety information.
Electrical Systems,
In case of an electrical fire.
Appliances,
In case of a grease fire.
Fire Extinguisher
Fire extinguishers are classified and rated by fire type, A, B and C. These classifications
identify the kinds of fires or burning materials they are designed to fight.
Class A -
Solid materials such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and some plastics.
Class B -
Liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, kerosene or other flammable liq
-
uids.
Class C -
Electrical such as electrical wires or other live electrical equipment.
A dry chemical fire extinguisher has been installed by the entrance door. It is suitable for
extinguishing small fires of the Class B or C type only.
We suggest you become thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions displayed on the
side of the fire extinguisher.
NOTE: For information on how to use your fire extinguisher, refer to the fire
extinguisher user’s manual included in your warranty packet.
Inspection and maintenance
Read and follow all instructions on the label and user’s manual provided by the fire extin
-
guisher manufacturer.
NOTE: Inspect the extinguisher at least once a week (more frequently if it is
exposed to weather or possible tampering). This should also be done before
beginning a vacation or during an extended trip.
Do not check the pressure, test or practice using the fire extinguisher by
squeezing the trigger, even briefly. The fire extinguisher is not rechargeable
or refillable. Once used, it will gradually lose pressure and will not be fully
charged for use in an emergency.
Do not turn the electrical power back on or plug in any appliances after the use
of a fire extinguisher. Please refer to the fire extinguisher’s user manual for
further instructions on maintenance and clean up.
