2.2 DRIVING SAFETY
1. Only trained and licensed drivers are allowed to
drive this vehicle.
2. Observe all applicable road and driving
regulations. 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 position,
tilt steering wheel etc. while driving.
5. A motorhome is considerably larger and heavier
than 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 conditions such as rain,
darkness, snow, sleet, icy surface, hilly terrain,
rough road or a soft surface. When towing a vehicle
or trailer allow for extra starting and stopping time.
See Section 3.2 for vehicle or trailer towing.
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 obstruct
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.
