SAFETY
Throughout this manual CAUTION and WARNING notations are used.
Failure to observe CAUTION can damage equipment. WARNING notes
the possibility of personal and/or fatal injury if not observed. As always, safety should
be one of your top priorities. Make sure you, and everyone traveling with you is familiar
with and follows these cautions and warnings.
ESCAPE WINDOW OPERATION
Make sure you, and everyone traveling with you can operate the main door and the
emergency exit window(s) rapidly without light. Contemplate other means of escape
in case the designated exits are blocked. Run frequent emergency drills. The escape
windows(s) are identified by red release handles and are opened by lifting up both
latches, then turning the latches toward the 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. A loop is provided in the
SCREEN RETAINING SPLINE so it can be rapidly removed. Take hold of the loop
and pull the rubber spline out of the screen frame. The window screen can then be
easily pushed out.
WARNING : Learn and practice the escape window operation.
WARNING : Check the emergency escape route outside your escape
window at every stop. 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. Never park your trailer so the escape windows cannot be easily used
for emergency exits.
WARNING : You and all your family should practice escape procedures
so they can be rapidly accomplished even in total darkness. Never block the
interior or exterior access to the emergency escape windows.
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 or any fire
safety service will be happy to assist you and answer any questions.
WARNING : Maintain and check smoke detector per its owner’s manual
recommendations.
WARNING : Always shut off the LP gas when gasoline is added to the
tow vehicle.
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.
