2.2 DRIVING SAFETY
1. Only trained and licensed drivers are allowed to
drive this vehicle.
2. Observe all applicable road and driving regula-
tions. Check with local transport authorities if
you have any questions.
3. Inspect the vehicle before driving. Adjust,
repair or replace components or systems to
maintain vehicle in good driving condition. Do
not drive the motorhome unless it is in good
condition.
4. Do not make adjustments such as seat posi-
tion, tilt steering wheel etc. while driving.
5. A motorhome is considerably larger and heavier
that an automobile and results in different
handling characteristics. Allow more space for
stopping, turning, passing, parking, accelerating
etc. during operation. The extra height results
in different stability characteristics. Drive at a
slower speed when turning, cornering or on
rough terrain. Use extra care in adverse condi-
tions such as rain, darkness, snow, sleet, icy
surface, hilly terrain, rough road or a soft
surface. Refer to your chassis manual for
additional instructions.
6. Maintain brakes in top condition at all times.
Allow extra distance for stopping. Be extra
vigilant in adverse surface conditions such as
wet, icy, slushy, rough or a soft surface when
applying the brakes. After going through water,
slush or snow, apply the brakes carefully in an
open area to check if one side grabs. Use
gentle pedal pressure to dry the brakes and
restore uniform operation. Do not operate
vehicle if uneven brake action persists.
2.3 FUEL
(MOTOR AND LP GAS)
1. Do not smoke when filling vehicle fuel tank,
generator fuel tank or LP gas tank.
2. Extinguish all pilot lights before refuelling.
3. Do not fill the LP gas tank when the generator
is running.
4. Do not bring or store fuel or LP gas containers,
gasoline or other flammable liquids in the
vehicle. Vapours can be released causing
breathing difficulties or an explosion or fire. LP
gas containers vent excess pressure into the
atmosphere.
5. Do not fill LP gas containers more than 80% of
capacity. Overfilling can lead to excessive
venting or gas flow and result in an explosion or
fire.
6. Do not use an open flame to check for an LP
gas leak. Use soapy water and watch for the
bubbles. Close valve on tank and latch all
covers, caps and doors after filling system.
7. Do not connect natural gas to the LP system.
8. Install LP gas regulators with the pressure
regulator vent facing downward. Do not ob-
struct vent hole. In cold weather, condensation
can get into the regulator and cause freeze-up.
Use a light bulb to thaw out. Do not use an
open flame or heat lamp to thaw out.
9. Turn igniter knob to create a spark at the burner
when burner is turned on. Large volumes of
gas can lead to an explosion and fire if igniter is
not turned when the burner is turned on. Turn
burner off and let gas dissipate before trying to
relight if it does not light immediately.
10. Do not use the furnace when the vehicle is
moving. Turn the gas off at the LP container.
11. Do not obstruct LP gas compartment when
parking to provide access to master valve to
gas system. Open access allows emergency
workers to close master valve if an emergency
occurs.
