CAMPING
SAFETY
As always, safety should be one of your top priorities. Make sure you, and everyone
traveling with you, can operate the main door and exit window rapidly without light.
WARNING : The escape windows(s) are identified by their red release
handles. Pull red handle toward window center. Push out on the glass and it will
swing clear. The window operation should be checked each trip and the latches
lubricated with WD-40 or equivalent every six months.
Do not parked in a manner that would prevent the escape windows from opening
or block an emergency exit route.
WARNING : At each campsite make sure you have not parked in
such a manner as to block the operation of the escape window by being too
close to trees, fences or other impediments. Scenic views are one reason for
traveling, but don’t park so the beautiful lake or steep cliff is just outside your
escape window.
WARNING : Read the directions carefully on the fire extinguisher. If
there is any doubt on the operation, you and your family should practice, then
replace or recharge the extinguisher. You will find your local fire department will
be happy to assist you and answer any questions.
WARNING :
DON’T SMOKE IN BED!
KEEP MATCHES OUT OF REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN!
DON’T CLEAN WITH FLAMMABLE MATERIAL!
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME!
We have all heard these warnings many times, but they are still among the leading
causes of fires.
Other safety information on the LPG system of your motorhome is located in the
Plumbing Section of this manual.
SMOKE ALARM
OPERATION, TESTING
OPERATION: The smoke detector is operating once a fresh battery is installed and
testing is complete. When products of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud
85 db pulsating alarm until the air is cleared.
HUSH CONTROL: The “HUSH” feature has the capability of temporarily desensitizing
the alarm circuit for approximately 7 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a
known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. The smoke
detector is desensitized by pushing the “HUSH” button on the smoke detector cover. If
the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately and “Chirp” every 30-40
seconds for approximately 7 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a temporarily
desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approximately 7
minutes and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present. The “HUSH”
feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing
the alarm.
