Safety
2017 Interstate 2-9
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 regulator vent faces
downward and that cover is kept in place to minimize
vent blockage that could result in excessive gas
pressure causing re or explosion.
The regulator at the LP tank is under a gray, plastic
cover� The protective cover helps to keep the vent on
the regulator from being clogged by wasps or ice, but
the regulator should be checked regularly to make sure
the vent remains clear�
WARNING
Do not attempt to seal regulator cover.
WARNING
Check vent each time tank is lled to make sure it
is clear of obstructions.
WARNING
Have a qualied technician check your LP Gas
system annually or if you have any signs of leaks
or malfunctions.
Fire Extinguisher
The re extinguisher should be checked for charge on
a regular basis� Make sure your family, especially the
cook, knows how to release the extinguisher storage
bracket and how to properly operate the extinguisher�
Check with your local re department for professional
advice on its operation and use if you nd the
directions on the extinguisher unclear� They will be able
and willing to assist you and your family�
Emergency Exit
There are three avenues of escape from the touring
coach in the event of an emergency, the driver’s door,
the passenger door, and the sliding side cargo door�
As always, safety should be one of your top priorities�
Make sure you and everyone traveling with you can
operate these doors and exit rapidly without light� A
little planning and a quick practice session at each
camping site is well worth the time it may take�
WARNING
At each campsite, make sure you have not parked
in such a manner as to block the operation of the
doors or the escape avenues by being too close to
trees, fences, or other impediments. Scenic views
are one reason for traveling, but do not park so
the beautiful lake or steep cliff is just outside your
doors. Do not block access to the doors from the
inside or outside of the vehicle.
WARNING
Read the directions carefully on the re
extinguisher. If there is any doubt on the operation
you and your family should practice, then replace
or recharge the extinguisher. You will nd your
local re department will be happy to assist you
and answer any questions.
WARNING
Do not smoke in bed. Keep matches out of reach
of small children. Do not clean with ammable
material. Keep ammable material away from open
ame. We have all heard these warnings many
times, but they are still among the leading causes
of res.
