SECONDARY MEANS OF ESCAPE (EXIT WINDOW)
The emergency egress window is designed to allow quick exit from the RV during
an emergency if access to the main entrance door is not available.
• Make sure all occupants know how to open and operate the egress window
before an emergency occurs.
• When pulling into your campsite, make sure the egress is not blocked by
trees or other obstacles. Make sure the ground below the window is solid and
can be used as an escape path.
• The Egress window must be locked during transit.
Do not remove the following label from your RV:

FIRE SAFETY
If a fire does start, follow these basic safety rules:
1. Have everyone evacuate the motor home immediately.
2. After everyone is clear and accounted for, check the fire to see if you can
attempt to put it out.
3. If it is large, or the fire is fuel-fed, get clear of the motor home and have the
Fire Department handle the emergency.
4. Do not attempt to use water to put out the fire. Water can spread some types
of fire, and electrocution is possible with an electrical fire
.
OTHER FIRE SAFETY INFORMATION
Refer to the following sections for additional fire safety information.
See the Electrical Systems Section, in case of an electrical fire.
See the Appliance Section, in case of a grease fire.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Fire extinguishers are classified and rated by fire types, A, B, and C. These
classifications identify the kinds of fires or burning materials they are designed to
fight.
Class A – Solid materials such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and some plastics.
Class B – Liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, kerosene or other
flammable liquids.
Class C – Electrical such as electrical wires or other live electrical equipment.
A dry chemical fire extinguisher has been installed in your RV. It is suitable for
extinguishing small fires of the Class B or C type only. We suggest you become
thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions displayed on the side of the fire
extinguisher.
NOTE: For information on how to use your fire extinguisher, refer to the fire
extinguisher user’s manual provided in your Warranty Packet.
