Be sure to replace or recharge the extinguisher
immediately after use.

the
fi

least once a month. Do so more
frequently if the extinguisher is
exposed to weather or possible
tampering.

Three classes of
fi
re can occur within a
motorhome. A
fi
re can fall into more than one
class. For example, a
fi
re that involves both
burning paper and kitchen grease is a Class
AB
fi
re.
Classes of Fire:
A -
Fires fueled by materials that leave a
residue when they burn: paper, wood, cloth,
rubber, and certain plastics.
B -
Fires involving
fl
ammable liquids and
gases: gasoline, paint thinner, kitchen grease,
propane and acetylene.
C -
Fires that involve energized electrical
wiring or equipment. If electricity to the
equipment is turned off, a class C
fi
re
becomes one of the other two class
fi
res.
ESCAPE (EGRESS) WINDOW
The Egress window, designated for use as
an emergency exit, is identi
fi
ed inside of the
motorhome by a red locking handle and Exit
label. To open, lift the red handle and push
outward. Pull closed and lower handles to
lock the Egress window.
Hinges along the outside window top
identify the Egress window on the motorhome
exterior. The glass slider in the Egress
window operates the same as all other
windows in the motorhome. Occasionally
open and close the Egress window to prevent
the rubber seal from sticking.
