DRIVING SAFETY

WARNING
This motorhome has been designed,
manufactured and tested with concern for
the protection of it’s occupants. We
recommend you perform the following
inspections for your safety and the safety
of your passengers before starting your
vehicle.

1. LP GAS SYSTEM – Turn off at tank for traveling. Test for leaks upon arrival at destination before lighting pilots.
2. WHEELS – Inspect for damage and check lug nuts for tightness.
3. TIRES – Inspect for wear and damage and check for recommended air pressure.
4. LIGHTING – Test for proper operation of all interior and exterior lights including dash lights, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, clearance lights, and turn signals.
5. EXITS – Inspect release mechanism on emergency exit window, test both locks on main entrance door for ease of operation and instruct passengers how to use both means of exit.
6. SEAT BELTS – Direct passengers to designated seats, be certain swivel seats are locked into position, and require use of a seat belt. See operator’s manual for occupancy and weight restrictions.
7. APPLIANCES – Turn off and latch or lock doors where provided.
8. LOOSE PARCELS – Store securely.
9. UTILITY SUPPLY LINES – Disconnect all electrical, sewer and water lines and secure properly.
10. ENTRANCE DOOR STEP – Assure step is in retracted position for traveling. Read your motorhome and chassis owner’s manual for further precautions.

• 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 complete and related information on driving your vehicle.
• Doors – Verify all interior and exterior doors are shut and/or stowed and latches are in place where provided.

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. Can cause ignition of flammable vapors, which can lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury

APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS

The appliances installed in your motorhome are manufactured by reputable RV appliance makers and have been tested by independent laboratories to meet all applicable standards and codes set for RV appliances.
See Section 2 – Safety and Precautions of this manual for any safety and precautions you need to take regarding the operation of your appliances.

REFRIGERATOR

If Equipped
The refrigerator in your coach can operate
from either of two energy sources available to the
motorhome:

• 120-Volt AC Electric
• Propane Gas

To be able to use both types of energy, the refrigerator does not have a compressor like household refrigerators. Instead, it uses an ammonia-water solution for cooling. Basically, ammonia vapor is distilled from the solution by heat produced from either propane gas flame or electrical heat element. The ammonia vapor is then carried to the finned condenser where it liquefies. The liquid then flows to an evaporator where it creates cooling by evaporation. The ammonia circulates back into the water solution and the cooling cycle continues.

WARNING
Do not let children play inside the motorhome unattended. Unlike your home refrigerator/freezer that one could push open the door from the inside, your motorhome refrigerator has a travel latch and when engaged would trap a child inside resulting in suffocation leading to death or serious injury

Leveling
Before operating the refrigerator when the motorhome is stationary, place a small level on the bottom of the refrigerator and make certain the unit is level. If over 1/2 of the bubble is inside the circle in any direction, the coach is level enough for continuous operation of the refrigerator while parked.
