Electrical System Safety
Circuit breakers and fuses are installed to protect electrical circuits from overloading. Do
not make unauthorized changes to circuitry or add fixed appliances. If you wish to make
changes, consult your independent, authorized dealer and they will assist you in obtaining
a safe installation.
An approved power cord has been supplied with the vehicle. Always use this cord for
hook-up to 120-volt shoreline power. The cord has a three pin plug, which provides proper
grounding through the third (round) pin. Grounding is personal protection from electrical
shock.
I
WARNING: Do not use an adapter, cheater, or extension cord that will
break the continuity of the grounding circuit connected to the third pin.
NEVER remove the grounding pin to connect a non-grounded,
two-prong receptacle. Any deviation from this will potentially cause a
fire from overheating.
Water System Safety
The following warning label is placed on the exterior of your trailer at each water tank
inlet. Make sure you read, understand and follow this label and all applicable instructions.
I
WARNING: POTABLE WATER ONLY. SANITIZE, FLUSH AND
DRAIN BEFORE USING. SEE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. FAILURE
TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is installed in each vehicle and is located near the entrance door in the
trailer. Be familiar with its location, operating instructions as printed on the extinguisher
and any material from the extinguisher supplier or manufacturer. It is 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 label and in owner’s manual.
• Inspect the extinguisher AT LEAST once a month - more frequently if exposed to
weather or possible tampering.
• Check pressure by pressing in white indicator button. If button does not spring back,
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
damage.
• Check the discharge nozzle. Make sure it is clean and free of obstructions.
