Page: 21 / 170

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Prior to using your motorhome, especially for the first time or after a long period of non use,
please read thoroughly all of the instructions in this Owner's Manual and the chassis
manufacturer's manual.
There are several safety considerations which you should realize and follow while your
Wayfarer is in motion. These 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 as well.
WARNING:
Before using your Wayfarer motorhome as a tow vehicle , 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 all equipment safely.
GENERAL WARNINGS
In general, there are several common sense safety precautions that should be taken every time
your motorhome is to be used on the road.
These 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 in the motorhome including the driver and all
passengers.
• While the motorhome is moving, lock all seats in the forward facing position to provide
maximum safety for all users.
• While the motorhome is moving, no one inside should ever stand or kneel on seats, (i.e,
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. This is needed to provide
the desired protection in the event of a crash.
• Any fire extinguisher(s) should be inspected on a monthly basis to ensure that each
extinguisher is properly charged and ready for operation.
