Airstream EXCELLA 1985 - Basic Rules for Safety

BASIC RULES FOR SAFETY
WARNING:
DO NOT store LP containers with¬
in vehicle. LP containers are
equipped with safety devices that
vent gas should the pressure
become excessive.
WARNING:
DO NOT use cooking appliances for
comfort heating * Cooking appli¬
ances need fresh air for safe
operation. Before operation open
overhead vent or turn on exhaust
fan and open window,
A warning label has been located
in the cooking area to remind you
to provide an adequate supply of
fresh air for combustion. Unlike
homes^ the amount of oxygen sup¬
ply is limited due to the size of
the recreational vehicle g and
proper ventilation when using the
cooking appliance(s) will avoid
dangers of asphyxiation, It is
especially important that cooking
appliances not be used for comfort
heating as the danger of asphyxia¬
tion is greater when the appliance
is used for long periods of time,
WARNING:
Portable fuel-burning equipment^
including wood and charcoal grills
and stoves^ shall not be used in¬
side the recreational vehicle. The
use of this equipment inside the
recreational vehicle may cause fires
or asphyxiation.
WARNING:
A warning label has been located
near the LP Gas container. This
label reads: DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S)
TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY,
Overfilling the LP Gas container
can result in uncontrolled gas
flow which can cause fire or
explosion, A properly filled
container will contain approx¬
imately 80 percent of its volume
as liquid LP Gas,
WARNING:
DO NOT bring or store LP Gas con¬
tainers^ gasoline or other flam¬
mable liquids inside the vehicle
because a fire or explosion may
result.
WARNING:
IF YOU SMELL GAS :
1, Extinguish any open flames ^
pilot lights and all smoking
materials,
2, Do not touch electrical switches,
3, Shut off the gas supply at the
tank valve(s) or gas supply con¬
nection ,
4, Open doors and other ventilating
openings,
5, Leave the area until odor clears,
6, Have the gas system checked
and leakage source corrected
before using again.
WARNING:
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 which could result in
excessive gas pressure causing
fire or explosion.
