SAFETY
Safety, comfort and ease of operation are key
considerations during the design and manufacture of
all Triple E RVs.
It is the responsibility of the owner and operator to read,
understand and follow all instructions in this manual,
the chassis manual, all appliance/equipment system
manuals located in the Motorhome Information Kit,
and on safety labels or signs on the motorhome�
Specic items, procedures or instructions are
identied with the key words Danger, Warning and
Caution which emphasize areas of special concern.
These key words are dened as follows:
:
DANGER
Danger - Indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Warning - Indicates a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious
personal injury and/or damage to the motorhome.
CAUTION
Caution - Indicates a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, COULD result in minor or moderate
personal injury and/or damage to the motorhome.
NOTICE
Notice - Identies hazards not related to personal
injury.
The safety symbol,
used in conjunction with the
Danger, Warning and Caution symbols, identies an
area that involves the personal safety of the operator,
passengers or bystanders. Read, understand and
follow the instructions and information in the safety
label or sign or manual. Do not take chances with
safety. Most accidents are preventable.
Follow the safety precautions outlined in this section
of the manual, but keep in mind that the manual may
not cover all situations. Every person who occupies
the motorhome or operates any of its components,
devices or subassemblies must be familiar with
this manual and the manuals in the Motorhome
Information Kit. Every operator and occupant is
responsible for following all safety items covered in
this and other manuals�
GENERAL SAFETY
• The most important safety feature on your
motorhome is a safe and knowledgeable
operator� It is the operator’s responsibility to
read, understand and follow all the safety and
operating instructions in the operator’s, chassis,
appliance, and system manuals. Most accidents
that involve motorhomes are preventable.
• An operator who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualied
to operate the motorhome�
• Untrained or uninformed operators and
occupants expose themselves, passengers and
other drivers to possible injury or death, and
they subject the motorhome, other vehicles and
property to potential damage�
• Do not modify the motorhome in any way.
Unauthorized modications may impair the
function and/or safety of the motorhome�
• All driver and passenger seats are equipped with
seatbelts. Occupied seats must be locked in the
forward facing direction when the motorhome
is moving, and passengers may occupy only
approved seats with the seatbelt securely
fastened. Do not allow any passengers to travel
in the motorhome unless they are in an approved
seat with the seatbelt secured� Motorhome seats
with seatbelts installed by the manufacturer are
the only seats approved and safe for travel.
• Always fasten the seatbelt low on the torso and
keep it snug to transmit the force from the belt
into the hip/pelvic region of the body. Pregnant
women should wear a lap/shoulder belt whenever
possible� Wear the belt snug and low throughout
the pregnancy�
• Establish a monthly re extinguisher inspection
program to ensure the extinguisher is fully
charged and in proper working condition. Inspect
the extinguisher prior to each time you operate or
occupy the motorhome�
