SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-2
·
Adverse weather conditions and extremes in
terrain may affect handling and/or perfor-
mance of your vehicle. Refer to your chassis
manual for related information.
FUEL & LP GAS
·
All pilot lights must be extinguished and ap-
pliances turned off while refilling the fuel
tank or LP tank.
·
Never smoke while refilling vehicle fuel tank
or LP gas tank.
·
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases produced by
burned gasoline, diesel fuel or LP gas in
items such as the range, chassis engine, gen-
erator engine, refrigerator, furnace and water
heater. They contain carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless, colorless and poisonous
gas.
·
Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gas-
oline or other flammable liquids inside the
vehicle because a fire or explosion may re-
sult. LP gas containers are equipped with
safety valves which relieve excessive pres-
sure by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
·
Do not alter the LP gas system at any time or
in any way.
·
Do not fill LP gas container(s) above 80 per-
cent of capacity. Overfilling the LP gas con-
tainer can result in uncontrolled gas flow
which can cause fire or explosion. A properly
filled container will contain approximately
80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas.
·
Never use an open flame to test for LP gas
leaks. Replace all protective covers and caps
on LP system after filling. Make sure valve is
closed and door latched securely.
·
Never connect natural gas to the LP gas sys-
tem.
·
When lighting range burners do not turn
burner controls to “On” and allow gas to es-
cape before lighting match.
·
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including
wood and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not
be used inside the recreational vehicle. The
use of this equipment inside the recreational
vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
·
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 the regulator vent faces downward
and that the cover is kept in place to minimize
vent blockage which could result in excessive
gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
·
The following warning label is located in the
cooking area to remind you to provide an ad-
equate supply of fresh air for combustion.
Unlike large homes, the oxygen supply inside
a recreational vehicle is limited due to its
size. To avoid danger of asphyxiation, pro-
vide proper ventilation when using the gas
rangetop or gas oven. It is especially impor-
tant that the gas oven and range top not be
used for comfort heating. Danger of asphyxi-
ation is greater when these appliances are
used for long periods of time.
