2. A person who has not read and understood
all operating and safety instructions is not
qualifi ed to operate this vehicle. An untrained
or uninformed operator exposes themselves,
passengers and other drivers/vehicles/property
to possible serious injury or death and property
damage.
3. Do not modify the vehicle in any way. Unauthor-
ized modifi cation 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 fac-
ing direction. The 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 bedroom, galley, or bathroom area of
the unit.
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. Pregnant women
should wear a lap/shoulder belt whenever pos-
sible. 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 fi re extinguisher inspection
program to keep the extinguisher in good condi-
tion and fully charged. Inspect the extinguisher
again prior to a vacation or trip.
8. Your motorhome is equipped with a domed
Kemlite FRP fl exroof. Always exercise care
and caution when on the roof.
Do not walk on the roof when it is wet or when it
is covered with dew, ice or snow.
