safety
•
The fire department has been notified

There is a clear exit behind the person using the
extinguisher
It’s important to remember that fire extinguishers are only
one element of a complete fire survival plan. Only use
your extinguisher after making sure:
Use your extinguisher only to keep a small self-contained
fire from growing, only when the room is not filled with
smoke, or to create a safe pathway out of the home. Be
sure to read the instructions and become familiar with
your fire extinguisher’s parts and operation before a fire
breaks out.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
This article provides information about the safe use of
carbon monoxide-producing coach components. Carbon
monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas. It is a
by-product of the burning of fossil fuels (gasoline, propane
gas, diesel fuel, etc.). The chassis and generator engines,
furnaces, water heater, propane gas refrigerator, and
range produce carbon monoxide constantly while they are
operating.
WARNING
!
Do not block the tailpipes or exhaust ports. Do not
situate the vehicle in a place where the exhaust gases
have any possibility of accumulating either outside,
underneath, or inside your vehicle or any nearby
vehicles. Outside air movements can carry exhaust
gases inside the vehicle through windows or other
openings remote from the exhaust outlet. Operate
engines, carbon monoxide-producing systems, or
components only when safe dispersion of exhaust
gases can be assured. Monitor outside conditions to
be sure that exhaust continues to be dispersed safely.
