FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A fire extinguisher is installed in each vehicle and is located near the entrance door in
the travel trailer. Be familiar with its location and operating instructions as printed on the
extinguisher. It’s too late to become familiar with an extinguisher when an emergency is
at hand.
The fire extinguisher is a dry chemical, nonrefillable extinguisher. Do not test this
extinguisher by partially discharging. Doing so will cause loss of pressure making the
extinguisher unusable. The extinguisher must be discarded and replaced by a new one if
any use has occurred.
Inspection and Maintenance
To insure that your fire extinguisher will be ready when needed:
• Read and follow all instructions on the label and in the owner’s manual.
• Inspect the extinguisher AT LEAST once a month - more frequently if exposed to
weather or possible tampering.
• Check the pressure by pressing in the white indicator button. If the button does not
spring back, the extinguisher will not work properly and must be discarded.
• Be sure the yellow lock pin is firmly in place.
• Keep the extinguisher clean. Check for dents, scratches, corrosion or any other dam-
age.
• Check the discharge nozzle. Make sure it is clean and free of obstructions.

CAUTION: Under certain fire and heat conditions, the dry chemical powder
in this extinguisher (and similar units) will cause damage or prove extremely
difficult to remove from oven surfaces, including self-cleaning models. Do not use
self-cleaning feature to remove ABC Powder.
1
CAUTION: Avoid inhaling the dry chemical agent. The agent contained in
this extinguisher is not toxic, but may cause skin irritation. In case of
contact, flush affected area with clean, cool water. If irritation persists, contact a
physician immediately. Chemical name of agent is printed on extinguisher label.
TV ANTENNA
Raising Antenna to Operating Position
Turn the elevating crank clockwise in the UP direction about thirteen turns or until some
resistance to turning is noted. (Fig. 3-16)
On Amplified models, 12-Volt DC power is required. Turn the power supply ON to use
either the front or rear TV outlet. (Fig. 3-17) Neither outlet will work unless the power
supply switch is on. Turning the power supply on sends 12-volt DC through the cable to
the antenna. The voltage energizes the transistors on the amplifier in the antenna head.
The TV signal comes back down the cable to the outlets.
After the antenna is in the full UP position, pull down on the round knob with both hands
until it disengages from the ceiling plate. Rotate the knob for best picture. (Fig. 3-18)

WARNING:
DO NOT connect high current devices such as hair dry
ers to this receptacle. Maximum current rating of this receptacle is 7.5
amps at 12-volt DC.
To Test System
1. Make sure the TV set is working properly.
2. Switch the power supply ON and OFF to see if there is a difference in the picture
quality while watching TV. If there is NO difference, refer to manufacturer’s manual
for further testing procedures.
1
CAUTION:
The power supply should be turned OFF when connecting/
disconnecting the cables to the power supply and antenna, but should be
turned ON when testing for voltage.
Lowering Antenna to Travel
Position
Rotate the antenna until the pointer on the
directional handle aligns with the pointer on
the ceiling plate. Turn the elevating crank
counterclockwise in the DOWN direction
about thirteen turns or until resistance is
noted. The antenna is now locked in the travel position. (Fig. 3-16)
1
CAUTION:
When lowering the antenna, never lower it into any position
except the TRAVEL POSITION. Failure to lower antenna into the TRAVEL
POSITION before traveling may damage the antenna and is not covered by warranty.
Maintenance
