2.1 GENERAL SAFETY
1.
The most important safety feature on this
vehicle is a safe operator. It is the operator's
responsibility to read, understand and follow all
safety and operating instructions in the vehicle,
chassis, appliance and system manuals. Most
accidents can be prevented.
2.
A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified
to operate this vehicle. An untrained or unin-
formed operator exposes themselves, passen-
gers and other drivers/vehicles/property to
possible serious injury or death and property
damage.
3.
Do not modify the vehicle in any way. Unau-
thorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the
vehicle.
4.
All approved driver and passenger seats are
equipped with seat belts. When occupied while
driving, each must be locked in the forward
facing direction. Each driver and passenger
must occupy only the approved seats and
fasten seat belts when the unit is moving. Do
not allow any passengers in the vehicle unless
they have their seat belt attached while in an
approved seat. When the vehicle is moving, no
one should be using the sleeping, cooking,
bathroom, living areas.
5.
Always fasten the seat belt low on the torso
and keep it snug to transmit the force from the
belt into the hip/pelvic area of the body. Preg-
nant women should wear a lap/shoulder belt
whenever possible. Wear the belt snug and low
throughout the pregnancy.
6.
Review the location, function and operation of
the escape window with everyone who will be
riding in or using the motorhome. Inspect the
locking mechanism.
7.
Establish a monthly fire extinguisher inspection
program to keep the extinguisher in good
condition and fully charged. Inspect the extin-
guisher again prior to a vacation or trip.
Safety, comfort and ease of operation are key
considerations during the design and manufacturing
of all Triple E Motorhomes. It is the responsibility

follow all instructions in the Motorhome, chassis
and appliance or auxiliary system manuals and from
safety signs on the vehicle. Specific items, proce-
dures or instructions are identified with the key
words IMPORTANT, CAUTION and WARNING to
