SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

SMOKE ALARM

Your motorhome is equipped with a Smoke 

Alarm (located on the ceiling in the lounge area.) 
The Smoke Alarm is powered by a 9-volt battery 
and has a sensor that is designed to detect smoke. 

The following label is affixed to the Smoke 

Alarm.

Replacement

When replacing this alarm, we recommend 

replacing only with the same model, or with one 
that is also listed for RV application. We 
recommend obtaining a replacement from your 
Winnebago Industries

®

 dealer.

Expiration and Further Information

See the manufacturer’s information in your 

InfoCase for smoke alarm expiration and further 
instructions.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

A dry chemical Fire Extinguisher is located 

near the sliding entrance door.

We recommend that you become thoroughly 

familiar with the operating instructions displayed 
on the side of the Fire Extinguisher and in the 
information supplied in your InfoCase.

We also recommend that you inspect the Fire 

Extinguisher for proper charge at least once a 
month in accordance with National Fire 
Protection Association (NFPA) 
recommendations as stated on the label.

If the extinguisher is past its expiration date or 

charge is insufficient, the Fire Extinguisher must 
be replaced.

Replacement

If for any reason you must replace the Fire 

Extinguisher, the replacement must be the same 
type and size as the one originally supplied in 
your motorhome. We recommend obtaining a 
replacement only from your Winnebago 
Industries

®

 dealer or a reliable RV parts supplier.

ELECTRICAL

Careless handling of electrical components 
can be fatal. Never touch or use electrical 
components or appliances while feet are bare, 
while hands are wet, or while standing in 
water or on wet ground.

WARNING

Test smoke alarm operation after vehicle 
has been in storage, before each trip, and 
at least once per week during use. Failure 
to do so can result in death or serious 
injury.

to test

NOTICE

Do not test the fire extinguisher by 
discharging it. Partial discharge can 
cause leakage of pressure or contents, 
which would render the unit inoperative 
when needed. When using the fire 
extinguisher, aim the spray at the base of 
the fire.
