YOUR
MOTOR
HOME
The hazard and possibility
of
fire exists in all areas
of
life, and
the recreational life-style
is
no exception. Your motor home is
a complex machine made up
of
many materials, some
of
them
flammable. But like most hazards, the possibility
of
fire can be
minimized,
if
not totally eliminated, by recognizing the danger
and practicing comrrion sense, safety and maintenance habits.
The fire extinguisher furnished with your motor home is rated
for Class B (gasoline, diesel fuel, grease, flammable liquids)
and Class C (electrical) fires since these are the most common
types
of
fires in vehicles. Read the instructions on the fire
extinguisher. Know where it is located and how and when to
use it. Remember that portable fire extinguishers are appli-
ances intended for use by the occupants
of
a building or area
that is tlu'eatened by fire. They are most valuable when used
immediately on small fires. They have a limited amount
of
fire-extinguishing material, and therefore must be used proper-
ly so this material is not wasted.
Fire extinguishers are pressurized, mechanical devices. They
must be handled with care and treated with respect. They must
be maintained as outlined in any maintenance instructions pro-
vided with the device so they are ready to operate properly and
safely. Parts or internal chemicals may deteriorate in time and
need replacement. Always follow maintenance and recharging
instructions provided by the fire extinguisher manufacturer.

SAFETY
WARNING
Urethane foam is flammable!
Do
not expose urethane
foams
to
open flames or any
other direct or indirect
high
temperature sources of igni-
tion
such
as
burning opera-
tions,
welding, burning ciga-
rettes, space heaters or
unprotected
electric light
bulbs.
Once ignited, urethane
foams
will burn rapidly,
releasing
great heat and
consuming oxygen very
quickly.
In
an
enclosed space the
resulting deficiency of oxy-
gen
will present a danger of
suffocation
to
the occupants.
Hazardous gases
released
by
the burning
foam
can
be
incapacitating or fatal
to
human
beings if inhaled
in
sufficient quantities.
