Awareness and adherence to re safety procedures is an
important part of being a responsible motorhome owner/
operator. Make sure that everyone traveling in the moto-
rhome is familiar with the location of exits, including
emergency exit egress windows. By following these basic
rules of re prevention, the possibility of a re can be sig-
nicantly reduced:
• Never store ammable liquids within the motorhome
• Keep cooking surfaces clean
• Never use a ammable liquid or substance as a clean-
ing agent or solvent
• Never leave cooking food unattended
• Keep ammable materials away from open ames
• Never smoke in bed; and when smoking, always use
an ashtray
• Never allow children to play with propane or electrical
equipment
• Never use an open ame as a source of illumination
• Promptly repair faulty or damaged wiring and electri-
cal components
• Never overload electrical circuits
• Locate and repair propane gas leaks immediately
• Do not allow rubbish to accumulate
• Spray fabrics annually with a ame retardant
Basic Rules of Fire Safety
1. Evacuate everyone (including pets) from the motorhome
immediately!
2. Aer everyone is clear, check the re to determine if it
can be easily put out. If the re is too large, or the re is
fuel fed, stay clear of the motorhome and have the re
department manage the emergency.
3. If it can be safely done, without risking bodily harm or
injury:
• Turn OFF the main propane gas valve at the propane
tank
• Switch the 120 volts AC main circuit breaker to the
OFF position
• Disconnect the shore line power cord from the shore
power receptacle
• Turn OFF the generator (if equipped)
• Disconnect the negative battery cable(s) at the auxil-
iary battery and chassis battery
4. DO NOT attempt to use water to put out the re. Water can
spread some types of re (grease or oil), and electrocution
is possible with an electrical re.
5. Always have faulty or damaged wiring, electrical compo-
nents, propane tanks, valves, pipes, gas, and electrical ap-
pliances inspected by a certied RV repair technician and
repaired immediately.
Vehicles and equipment powered by internal
combustion engines and placed in recreation vehicles
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation,
which could result in death or serious injury.
The ammable liquids used to power these items can
cause a re or explosion, which can result in death or
serious injury.
TO REDUCE RISK:
1. Do not ride in the vehicle storage area when
vehicles are present.
2. Do not sleep in the vehicle storage area when
vehicles are present.
3. Close doors and windows in walls of separation (if
installed) when any vehicle is present.
4. Run fuel out of engines or stored vehicles after
shutting off fuel at the tank.
5. Do not store, transport, or dispense fuel inside this
vehicle.
6. Open the windows, openings, or air ventilation
systems provided for venting the transportation
area when vehicles are present.
7. Do not operate propane appliances, pilot lights, or
electrical equipment when motorized vehicles are
present.
DANGERDANGER
NO SMOKING
Before dispensing fuel, turn off all engines, fuel-
burning appliances, and their igniters (see operating
instructions).
Do not dispense fuel within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of an
ignition source.
Can cause ignition of ammable vapors, which can
lead to a re or explosion and result in death or serious
injury.
DANGERDANGER
DO NOT attempt to use water to put out an electrical re.
Water can spread some types of re, and electrocution
is possible with an electrical re.
