Emergencies and Fire Extinguishers
BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES
It is important that everyone using and riding inthe vehicle befamiliar with emergency features, such as the
location of exits and fire extinguishers.
EMERGENCY EXITS
Make sure all occupants are familiar with the
escaperoutes of the motorhome. One exit is the
front cab driver side door; another is the passenger
side cab door, and another isthe curb side main
entry door. Be sure you keep all exits
unobstructed, so they canbeopenedcompletely.
All coaches are equipped with a window

2 Pull the orange window handle up and out of the holdingbracket
3 Swing handle to lineup with center of window and push window out
4 Crawl out the window and call forhelp
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Fire extinguisher are located on the right side of the curb side entry door. Some models may have a second fire
extinguisher in thebedroom.
It is very important that you read the manufacturer's instructions for operation and maintenance of the fire
extinguisher.
Fire extinguishers are recommended for SMALL FIRES ONLY
IN CASE OF FIRE
Evacuate all occupants.
If possible, turn the LP gas service valve to off.
Fight fire only where there is a clear escape path to allow a quick exit.
Stand at least 6 feet back from the fire near an exit and make sure nothing is between
youand your escape route. If you get closer than 6 feet to afire, yourisk getting burned
or hit by splattering material like grease.
If a fire is too hot or smoky for you to get within 6 feet, DO NOT try to fight the fire
yourself. Evacuate immediately and call the Fire Department.

AFTER A FIRE HAS BEEN EXTINGUISHED
After any fire it is advisable to have your motorhome inspected by the Fire Department.
The powder sprayedfrom the extinguisher may have spread over a wide area and soiled the furniture, carpets,
and walls. Clean up all the powder as soon as possible.
Never turn on the electrical power or plug in an appliance until all the powder is removed completely from the
area. If the powder has become wet, it can conduct electricity. This may worsen an electrical leakage problem,
impair the equipment’s insulation, or create an electrical shock hazard.
IF A FIRE HAPPENS ON THE KITCHEN STOVE
For fires on a kitchen stove, if possible, turn oven or burner off immediately. If you cannot reach the oven or
burner controls safely, extinguish the fire first, then turn them off.
Remove all the powder and ventilate the area before turning any of the items back on, this is especially important for a self-
cleaning oven.
IF THE FIRE HAD AN ELECTRICAL ORIGIN
If possible, shut off all electrical power. Do not touch any electrical wire or appliances.
Leave themotorhome and close all doors behind you. Call the Fire Department and have them inspect the
premises.
After the inspection and when it is safe to return be sure to ventilate the area thoroughly.
Have a licensed electrician orauthorized dealer inspect your electrical system. Donotturn thepower back on or
plug in electrical equipment until inspection has been completed.
Neverturnonelectricalpowerorpluginan applianceuntilall powder from the
extinguisher is removed completely from the area.
If the powder has become wet, it can conduct electricity. This may worsen an electrical
leakage problem, impair the equipment’s insulation, and create an electrical shock
hazard. These conditions could result in you or others being seriously injured or killed.

C
Carbon Monoxide(CO)
arbon monoxide gas is a by-product of the incomplete burning process of any fuel,
including, but not limited to, gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil, charcoal, or wood.
All appliances that burn fuel such as cooking stoves, lamps, space heaters,
furnaces, water heaters, RV generators, or the engine from an RV, car or truck
can produce CO.
When appliances are in good working condition with proper combustion and
ventilation, lethal carbon monoxide gas is vented outdoors where it quickly disperses. A
safety hazard can occur when an appliance malfunctions and produces CO that is not
fully vented. CO polluted air inside an RV can quickly build to lethal levels.
Unlike smoke or LP gas, carbon monoxide cannot be smelled or seen. If a
personisexposedtoenoughCO,theresultscanbepermanentlydisablingor fatal.The
COdetectorinstalledwillwarnyouofitspresence.Before each trip test your alarm as
specified in the manual.
It important that you read the manufacturer’s instructions for operating and
maintaining the CO detector.
Carbonmonoxide(CO)cancauseunconsciousnessanddeath.Youcannotseeit or
smell it,soyou maynot know itisinyourvehicle. Useyour detector tohelp assure the
safety of you and your passengers.
CO PREVENTION AND SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
As a safety precaution, learn the early symptoms of CO exposure and regularly test and maintain your CO alarm to
ensure it is in good working order. If you suspect CO poisoning, move outside to fresh air, and seek emergency
help. Below are suggestions to help assure everyone’s safety. Failure to follow these suggestionsorthe

Before each trip make sure power is supplied to the CO detector. Learn the early symptoms of
CO exposure.
Inspect fuel-burning appliances and vents often and keep them in good working
condition. Regularly test and maintain your CO alarm to ensure it is good working
order.
Check your exhaust system to ensure it is in good working order. A damaged and /or
rusty exhaust could allow engine exhaust containing CO to leak into your vehicle. When
parking in snowy conditions make sure that snow does not block exhaust pipes from the
engine, furnace, or water heater. Clear the way and check around from time to time.
If the alarm goes off oryoususpectcarbon monoxide maybein yourvehicle, let in as
much fresh air as possible, leave the unit and call the fire department. Never restart
appliances untilthesource of the carbon monoxide leak has been repaired.

side, and front to back. Note that gray, black, and freshwater tanks need to be considered, as they will
significantly change the balance due to their weight.
Inside the cargo should be distributed as evenly as possible from side toside and front toback. Store heavier
items on or closetothe floor as possible. Lighter items may be stored in overhead cabinets, closets, and drawers.
Secure items and cabinet latches toavoid sudden shifting of cargo during travel, sudden stops, or emergency
maneuvers .
Do not exceed the GVWR or GCWR. Overloading can cause a serious potential safety
hazard. The driving ability and the handling of the unit could be greatly altered or
affected if your unit is overloaded resulting in an accident which could cause someone to
be seriously injured or killed.

WEIGHING THE UNIT
Any vehicle can have the potential ofbeing overloadedanditmaybenecessarytoremovesome of the weight or
redistribute items tomake the load even. Youmay want toweigh the unit from time totimeto make sure you are
staying within the weight limitations specific to your motorhome.
When weighing your motorhome, it must be weighed when it is fully loaded. This includes passengers, food,
clothing, water, fuel, supplies, any towed vehicles behind a motorhome, and the tow vehicle. It is important to
weigh your motorhome at a location that can provide axle-end specific weights.
You should not expect to measure equal loads at both ends of the same axle, because floor plans and component
locations vary significantly, however, you should distribute the load to obtain the best balance possible.
HOW TO WEIGH YOUR VEHICLE
When weighing the motorhome at apublic scalethescale operator willrecommend themethod to use to determine the
weightvalues.
It is very important that you read the chassis owner’s manual. It will also give additional information on the
complete procedures for weighing and loading your vehicle.
Procedure 1 Drive only the front axle of the motorhome onto the scale compare this weight to the GAWR (Gross
Axle Weight Restrictions) listed on the federallabel.
Procedure2 Pullforwarduntilbothfrontandrearaxlesareonthescale.Comparethisweighttothe GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Restrictions) listed on the federal label.
Procedure 3 Pull forward until only the rear axle is on the scale. Compare this weight to the GAWR listed on the
federal label.

jacks for the first time.
Thejacks needtobekept ingood condition. In rainy,snowy,oricyweather thejacks may become caked withmud
and/oricecausingproblemswithitsoperations.Periodicallychecktheleveling jacks,usewater to spray away the
mud or break away the ice before you try to use them.
The leveling system should be cycled once a month or whenever the vehicle is used to keep the system in operating
smoothly.
Atthebeginningoftheseason checktheoillevelinthejacks and check the hydraulic lines and wiring for damage and
wear. It is advisable to check the oil again before you leave on a trip.
Yearly check the framework for rust or damage. Periodically inspect the hoses and lines.
Before moving the vehicle make sure the jacks are completely stored. Never move the vehicle with the jacks down
on the ground.
Refer to your owners-manual for the proper procedures for manually retracting your jacks should you lose
power to the pump. A handle is provided to perform this task.
SLIDE OUT MECHANISMS
Your coach is equipped with electric slide out systems to move the slide rooms in and out. The slide out system is
powered by your batteries. Your batteries are very important to the operating system. Maintaining your batteries is
crucial. The batteries should be fully charged, and the cable terminals andbatterypostsshould beclean toavoid erratic
operations due tolowvoltage.Theswitch for the 12-volt electrical service is located on the side panel of the counter in
the step well area.
Theslidemechanism mustbekept ingood condition.Watchclosely as youextend theroomtomake sure the slides
are not binding. To move the slide room in or out hold the button continuously until the room has reached its inner
or outermostposition.
OPERATING
The slides are controlled through the multiplex system. Please make yourself familiar with the use of this system.
Before you extend the slide room, make sure the level jacks are in place and the unit is level. If the unit is not
level the mechanism can bind and if the weight is not distributed properly the slide-out can lean.
These types of situations can damage the slide out mechanism.
Byusing a level (small bubble type should work) either on acounter, dining room table,or other areas in the RV
can help assure the vehicle and the slide rooms are level.
When you are parking the RV,make sure that the slide out can move freely and that the area is clear of any
obstructions. Watch closely as you extend the room.
Refer to your owner’s manual on the proper procedures for manually extending or retracting your slides
should you lose power to the actuator.
Before moving check around theinside slide room area to ensure that personal items such as ceramic flowerpots,
small tables, plants, etc. are not going to fall as the unit moves out.
A manual override is installed toassist you in casethereisafailure with the electrical power.Refer to your
manual for more information on this feature.
