a constant speed cannot be maintained.
• Usecarewhenacceleratingordeceleratingon
a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can
cause skidding and loss of control.
• Never drive the vehicle with a slideout room
extended.
• Drivingthroughwaterdeepenoughtowetthe

SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Unlikehomes,the amountofoxygen supply is
limited due to the sizeof the recreational vehicle,
and proper ventilation when using the cooking
appliance(s) avoids dangers of asphyxiation. It is
especially important that cooking appliances not
be used for comfort heating, as the danger of
asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is
used for long periods of time. Failure to comply
could result in death or serious injury.
PROPANE GAS LEAKS
Check propane gas system for leaks yearly, or
as necessary.
Thefollowing procedures are notedona label,
located in the vehicle near the range area. If you
smell gas within the vehicle, quickly and
carefully perform the procedures listed.
IF YOU SMELL PROPANE
• Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and
all smoking materials.
• Do not touch electrical switches.
• Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or
gas supply connection.
• Open doors and other ventilating openings.
• Leave the area until odor clears.
• Havethepropanesystemcheckedandleakage
source corrected before using again.
Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury.
PROPANE GAS LEAK
DETECTOR
Your coach is equipped with a Propane Gas
Leak Detector, similar to the one shown below.
The leak detector sounds an alarm if an unsafe
amount of propane gas is present inside the
coach.
Power Connection
ThePropaneGasLeak Detectoris powered by
the house batteries. If the House/Coach Battery
Disconnect switch is shut off or the battery cable
is disconnected from the batteries, the alarm will
DANGER
Do not use gas cooking appliances for
comfort heating. May lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can lead to
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Gascookingappliancesneedfreshairfor
safe operation.
Before operating:
Openventsorwindowsslightlyor turnon
exhaust fan prior to using cooking
appliance. Gas flames consume oxygen,
which should be replaced to ensure
proper combustion. Improper use may
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT usean
open flame to test for gas leaks. When
testing for gas line leaks with a soapy
water solution, DO NOT use a detergent
containing ammonia or chlorine. These
substances may generate a chemical

system and body be inspected by a qualified
motorhome service center:
• Each time the vehicle is serviced for an oil
change.
• Whenever a change in the sound of the
exhaust system is noticed.
• Whenever the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle is damaged.

• Careless handling of electrical components
can be fatal. Never touch or use electrical
componentsorapplianceswhile feet arebare,
while hands are wet, or while standing in
water or on wet ground.
• Improper grounding of the vehicle can cause
personal injury. Do not plug the utility power
cord into an outlet which is not grounded and

for which it is not designed.
• Do not attach an extension cord to the utility
power cord.
• Do not use any electrical device that has had
the ground pin removed.
• Avoidoverloadingelectricalcircuits.Replace
fuses or circuit breakers with those of the
same size and amperage rating only. Never
use a higher rated fuse or breaker.
• Use caution when handling or working near
electrical storage batteries. Always remove
jewelry and wear protective clothing and eye
covering. Avoid creating sparks.
LOADING
• Store or secure all loose items inside the
motorhome before traveling. Possible
overlooked items such as canned goods or
small appliances on the countertop, cooking
pans on the range, or free-standing furniture
items can become dangerous projectiles
during a sudden stop.
• Be aware of GVWR, GAWR, and individual
load limit on each tire or set of duals (See
“Loading the Vehicle” in Section 12 -
Miscellaneous).
• Never load the motorhome in excess of the
gross vehicle weight rating or the gross axle
weight rating for either axle.
MAINTENANCE
• Do not remove the radiator cap while engine
and radiator are still hot. Always check
coolant level visually at the see-through
coolant reservoir.
• Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by
a jack only.
• Do not mix different construction types of
tires on the vehicle, such as radial, bias, or
belted tires, as vehicle handling may be
affected. Replace tires with exact size, type,
and load range.
EMERGENCY EXITS
Escape Window
The bedroom escape window is secured by
two red safety latches at the bottom or side of the
window.
To open, lift both latches up and toward the
center of the window, then push outward near the
bottom of the window.
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 sprayatthe base of
the fire.

Using Slider Windows As
Emergency Exits
Some coaches are required to have a slider
window as an alternate exit. This window will be
marked EXIT and have a red-handled latch.
Most slider windows along the side of any
motorhome can also be used as alternate
emergency exits, should the need arise.
To use slider windows as an exit:
• Lift window latch UP.
• Slide the window open.
• Eitherslide thescreenopenorpushthe screen

FORMALDEHYDE
INFORMATION
Some of the materials used in this recreational
vehicle emit formaldehyde. Eye, nose, and throat
irritation, headache, nausea, and a variety of
asthma-like symptoms, including shortness of
breath have been reported as a result of
formaldehyde exposure. Reaction to
formaldehyde exposure may vary among
individuals. Elderly persons and young children,
as well as anyone with a history of asthma,
allergies,or lungproblems maybe atgreater risk.
Research is continuing on the possible long-term
effects of exposure to formaldehyde. Inadequate
ventilation may allow formaldehyde and other
contaminants to accumulate in indoor air.
Ventilation to dilute the indoor air may be
obtained from a passive or mechanical
ventilation system. Always be sure to thoroughly
ventilate your recreational vehicle before and
during each use. High indoor temperatures and
humidity may raise formaldehyde levels. When a
recreational vehicle is in areas subject to high
temperatures, an air conditioning system can be
used to control indoor temperature levels. If you
haveany questions regardingthe health effectsof
formaldehyde,consult your doctororlocal health
department.
MOLD, MOISTURE, AND YOUR
MOTORHOME
What is Mold?
Molds are part of the natural environment.
They are as old as the Earth itself and mold
spores are almost everywhere at some level
waiting to grow. Mold plays a part of nature by
breaking down dead organic matter, such as
fallen leaves and dead trees. Indoors however,
mold growth should be avoided. Molds
reproduce by means of tiny spores. Those spores
are invisible to the naked eye and float
throughout the outdoor and indoor air. Because
of the nature of the use of a motorhome, it is
natural for a motorhome to be introduced into an
environment with mold spores.
Mold is a plant and requires its own special
environment to grow. That environment includes
organicmaterials, nutrients, moisture,andproper
temperature.
How Can I Avoid Mold?
To reduce the ability for mold to grow, you
must reduce what constitutes its growth
environment. Mold can grow with the smallest of
a nutrient base. Just small amounts of dirt or dust
on the carpet can be enough to allow the mold
process to begin. Keep the environment as clean
as possible. Vacuum the carpet. Clean food spills
