A FEW IMPORTANT WORDS ON SAFETY
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important.
Operating your tow vehicle and recreational vehicle is an
important responsibility. As you read this manual, statements
preceded by the following words are of special significance:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in damage to a
component, the trailer or your tow vehicle.
This information is intended to help you reduce the risk
of personal injury and prevent possible damage to
others, your tow vehicle, trailer and its equipment, or the
environment. To help you make informed decisions about
safety, we have provided operating procedures and other
information on labels in your camper and in this manual.
There are also warnings in the appliance manuals in the
Owner’s Information Package. This information alerts
you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you
about all the hazards associated with operating or
maintaining your camper. You must use your own good
judgment. This manual is filled with important safety
information please read it carefully. If you have any
questions regarding operation, maintenance, or service,
please contact your dealer immediately so he can assist you.
Chalet Inc. is required to furnish the following consumer
information as provided by the National Fire Protection
Association and the American National Standards Institute.
The information and warnings found here might also be
found in other chapters of this Owner’s Manual.
Please see chapters titled “PROPANE SYSTEM” and
“APPLIANCES” for other safety and operating information.
WARNING
Propane containers must not be placed or stored
inside the vehicle. Propane containers are equipped
with safety devices, which relieve excessive
pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
The following label has been located in the cooking
area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of
fresh air for combustion. A warning label has been
located near the propane container. This label reads:
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is
limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle,
and proper ventilation when using cooking
appliances will avoid dangers of asphyxiation. It
is especially important that cooking appliances not
be used for comfort heating as the danger of
asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used
for long periods of time.
