Safety Considerations
Prior to using your motor home, especially for the first time or after a long period of non-use, please read
thoroughly all the instructions in both the Owner’s Manual and the chassis-manufacturer’s manual before
attempting to operate your motor home. There are several safety considerations which you should realize and
follow while your Allegro Bus is in motion. These safety considerations, as well as others meant to preclude
any damage to the motor home, are listed in this chapter. Besides the driver, it would be helpful for the
passengers to be familiar with these safety considerations and precautions, too.
Warning
Before your motor home is to be operated, be sure that you have read the entire
Owner’s Manual and that you fully understand the equipment on your motor home and
how to use that equipment safely.
General Warning
Warning
Any portable, fuel-burning (e.g., charcoal, propane, butane, wood) equipment must not
be used inside the motor home. Any use of such equipment inside the motor home
may readily cause fires and/or asphyxiation by carbon-monoxide poisoning. Further,
such unauthorized use would probably invalidate your motor-home insurance policy.
In general, there are several “common-sense” safety precautions that should be taken every time the
motor home is to be used on the road; these precautions include:
•
Only seats with seat belts should be used while the motor home is in motion; those seat belts
should be worn by all people (driver, passengers) in the motor home at that time.
•
While the motor home is moving, lock all seats in the forward-facing position to provide
maximum safety for the users.
•
While the motor home is moving, no one inside should ever stand or kneel on seats (e.g., young
children).
