that supply us with these materials have asked that we tell you about
urea-formaldehyde with the statements on this page.
IMPORTANT
NOTICES
Ai WARNING
This product is manufac-
tured with urea-formalde-
hyde resin. Formaldehyde
vapor may in some people
cause headaches, eye, nose
and
throat irritation, and
aggravation of allergies and
respiratory problems, such
as asthma. Proper ventila-
tion should reduce the risk
of such problems.
Champion International
Corporation
WARNING
This product is manufac-
tured with a urea-formalde-
hyde resin and will release
small quantities of formalde-
hyde. Formaldehyde levels
in the indoor air can cause
temporary eye and respirato-
ry irritation, and may aggra-
vate respiratory conditions
or allergies. Ventilation will
reduce indoor formaldehyde
levels.
Weyerhauser Corporation
Ventilation is important for making the interior
of your motor home comfortable. Please read
the section about ventilation and prolonged
occupancy in the LivingWith Your Motor
Home chapter in this Owner's Manllal.
WARNING
This product contains com-
ponents containing or
manufactured with 1,1,1
Trichloroethane, a substance
that may be harmful
to the
public health and environ-
ment by destroying ozone in
the upper atmosphere.
Ai WARNING
Irritant:This product contains
a urea-formaldehyde resin
and may release formalde-
hyde vapors in low concen-
trations. Formaldehyde can
be irritating to the eyes and
upper respiratory system
of
especially susceptible per-
sons such as those with
allergies or respiratory ail-
ments. Use with adequate
ventilation. If symptoms
develop, consult your
physician.

WARNING
Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline or other
flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire or explo-
sion may result.
A warning label has been located near the LP gas container.
This label reads:
DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S)TO MORETHAN
aD-PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas
flow which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled con-
tainer will contain approximately ao- percent
of its volume as
liquid
LP gas.
The following label has been placed in the vehicle near
the
range:
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and all smoking
materials.
2.
Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the container valve(s) or gas sup-
ply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilation openings.
5. Leave the area until the odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source correct-
ed before using again.
LP gas regulators
must always be installed with the
diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in
compartments have been equipped with a protective cover.
Make sure that regulator vent faces downward and
the cover
is kept in place to minimize vent blockage which
could result
in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.

Ai WARNING
It is not safe to use cooking appliances
for comfort heating. Cooking appli-
ances need fresh air for safe operation.
Before operation:
1. Open overhead vent or turn on
exhaustfan,and
2. Open window.
This warning label has been located in
the cooking area to remind you
to pro-
vide an adequate supply of fresh air for
combustion. Unlike homes, the amount
of oxygen supply is limited due
to the
size of the recreational vehicle, and
proper ventilation when using the
cooking appliance(s) will avoid dan-
gers of asphyxiation. It is especially
important that cooking appliances
not
be used for comfort heating as the dan-
ger of asphyxiation is greater when the
appliance is used for long periods of
time.
WARNING
Portable fuel-burning equip-
ment, including wood and
charcoal grillS and stoves,
shall not be used inside this
recreational vehicle. The use
of this equipment inside the
recreational vehicle may
cause fires
or asphyxiation.
WARNING
LP gas containers shall not
be placed or stored inside
the vehicle. LP gas contain-
ers are equipped with safety
devices which relieve exces-
sive pressure by discharging
gas
to the atmosphere.

Welcome to the recreational vehicle life-style and the
growing family
of motor home owners. We sincerely thank
you for choosing a Fleetwood motor home!
Your motor home has been designed to provide you with

Association (NFPA), Canadiall Standards Association (CSA)
(units built for Canada only), Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) and Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB)
regulations. These standards and regulations establish the
plumbing, heating, electrical and other requirements for
safety. The seal attached just outside the entry door indicates
compliance with ANSI or CSA standards.
Like all finely crafted equipment, your motor home will
require care and regular maintenance in order to deliver
maximum value and performance. The dealer will give you
basic operating and maintenance instructions. However,
supplement this by reading all instructional material(s)
furnished with the motor home in the Owner's Information
Package and the motor home Chassis Operator's/Owller's
Guide/Mallual. This information outlines important areas of
operation and maintenance for you to follow for safe,
trouble-free service from your motor home. Study these
materials carefully. A good working knowledge
of your
motor home and how to care for it will help you enjoy many
miles and years
of recreational living.

deTivelY checkout.
As a part of the predelivery inspection procedure, the dealer
is responsible for road testing the motor home, noting and
correcting any steering problems before delivery.
Fleetwood and its subsidiaries will not be responsible for
front end alignment after this predelivelY inspection is
done.
You should return your motor home to the selling dealer for
warranty service.
If this is not possible, you may contact any
other authorized Fleetwood motor home dealer. The service
department at any
of the locations listed at the back of this
manual can help you find a dealer in your area.
If you have a warranty or service concern about the chassis
portion
of your vehicle please be aware that you may go
directly to an authorized chassis dealer for service. This may
save you time and effort as the chassis warranty
is
administered by the chassis manufacturer. Consult your area
phone directory for an authorized dealer and make
arrangements with their service department.
If you are
unsure
if the concern is chassis related, feel free to contact
your Fleetwood dealer
to assist you.
