SECTION 2 – SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
We have provided many important safety
messages in this manual. Read and follow them
carefully.
CAUTION
Always check to be certain that the hitch
is locked properly before towing. Be sure
hitch bars are adjusted for proper load
equalization.
CAUTION
It’s also important to load personal cargo
so that Gross Axle Weight Rating is never
exceeded. For safety’s sake, you should
weigh your family camping vehicle
frequently as loaded for travel. We cannot
emphasize too strongly that the Gross
Vehicle Weight and Axle Rating must not
be exceeded. Overloading is a safety
hazard.
WARNING
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING
APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT
HEATING.
DANGER
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish all open flames, pilot
lights, lanterns and smoking
materials.
2. DO NOT touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank
valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open the windows and exit the unit
leaving the door open.
5. Stay out of the unit until the odor
clears.
6. Have the propane system checked
immediately and the cause of the leak
corrected before using the system
again.
WARNING
INSIST that propane bottle(s) are not
filled beyond 80% liquid level. Overfilling
bottle(s) will eliminate the “safety
cushion” provided by the 20% expansion
area, which in turn can result in the
discharge of gas through the pressure
relief valve when higher outside
temperatures are encountered.
