SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS
Prior to using your motorhome, especially for the
fi
rst time or a
ft
er a long period of non-use, please
read thoroughly all the instructions in the Owner’s Manual and the chassis-manufacturer’s manual be-
fore attempting to operate your motorhome.
Th
ere are several safety considerations which you should
realize and follow while your Allegro Bus is in motion.
Th
ese safety considerations, as well as others
meant to preclude any damage to the motorhome, 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.
In general, there are several “common-sense” safety precautions that should be taken every time the
motorhome is to be used on the road.
Th
ese precautions include:
• Only seats with seat belts should be used while the motorhome is in motion; those seat belts
should be worn by all people (driver, passengers) in the motorhome at that time.
• While the motorhome is moving, lock all seats in the forward-facing position to provide max-
imum safety for the users.
• While the motorhome is moving, no one inside should ever stand or kneel on seats (e.g., young
children).
• In the majority of states, it is the law that seat belts must be used (fastened snugly about the chest
and hip areas), anytime the motorhome is in motion, to provide desired protection in the event
of a crash.
• Any
fi
re extinguisher(s) should be inspected on a monthly basis to assure that each extinguisher
is properly charged and ready for operation.
• Any smoke and/or carbon-monoxide (CO)/liquid propane (LP) alarm(s) should be regularly in
spected and tested. If being used for the
fi
rst time, the smoke and/or CO/LP alarm should be
properly activated and fresh batteries installed before the motorhome is placed into service. Never
sleep in a motorhome not having functional smoke and/or CO/LP alarm(s).
• While the motorhome is moving, the sleeping facilities are not to be used.
• In the event of an emergency, be sure to be familiar with all escape exits (doors, escape window)
Do not use the emergency window as a routine exit; this is strictly to be used for emergency pur
poses only.
• Movement inside the motorhome should be minimized while the motorhome is in motion.
• Never leave the driver’s seat unattended while the motorhome is in motion.
WARNING
Before your motorhome is to be towed, be sure that you
have read the entire Owner’s Manual and that you fully
understand the equipment on your motorhome and
how to use that equipment safely.
