SECTION 2 - SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS
•
Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be
occupied while the vehicle is moving.
•
Make sure all passengers have seat belts
fastened. Lap belts should fit low on the hips
and upper thighs. The shoulder belt should be
positioned snug over the shoulder.
•
For pregnant women, the lap belt should be
placed under the abdomen and across the
upper thighs. The shoulder belt should be
positioned across the center of the chest.
Consult your doctor if you have any
questions.
•
Child restraints should be installed properly
according to manufacturer’s instructions. See
“Child Restraints”.
•
All moveable or swiveling seats should be
placed and locked in position while the
vehicle is moving.
•
Never let passengers stand or kneel on seats
while the vehicle is moving.
•
Sleeping facilities are not to be utilized while
vehicle is moving.
•
Examine the escape window and be familiar
with its operation.
•
Inspect the fire extinguisher monthly for
proper charge and operating condition. This
should also be done before beginning a
vacation or any extended trip.
DRIVING SAFETY
•
Do not attempt to adjust the driver’s seat while
the vehicle is moving.
•
Do not adjust tilt steering in a moving vehicle.
•
Do not operate the cruise control on icy or
extremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy
traffic, or in any other traffic situation where
a constant speed cannot be maintained.
•
Use care when accelerating or decelerating on
a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can
cause skidding and loss of control.
•
Never drive the vehicle with a slideout room
extended.
•
Driving through water deep enough to wet the
brakes may affect stopping distance or cause
the vehicle to pull to one side. Check brake
operation in a safe area to be sure they have
not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if
a difference in braking efficiency is
noticeable.
•
Adverse weather conditions and extremes in
terrain may affect handling and/or
performance of your vehicle. Refer to your
chassis manual for related information.
FUEL AND PROPANE GAS
DANGER
All pilot lights, appliances, and their
ignitors (see operating instructions)
shall be turned off before refueling of
motor fuel tanks and/or propane
containers. Failure to comply could
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Propane gas containers, gasoline, or
other flammable liquids shall not be
placed or stored onboard the vehicle
because a fire or explosion may result.
Propane gas containers are equipped
with safety valves, which relieve
excessive pressure by discharging gas
to the atmosphere. Failure to comply
could result in death or serious injury.
