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 position,

tilt steering wheel etc. while driving.

5. A motorhome is considerably larger and heav-

ier than an automobile and results in dierent

handling characteristics. Allow more space for

stopping, turning, passing, parking, accelerating

etc. during operation. The extra height results in

dierent stability characteristics. Drive at a slower

speed when turning, cornering or on rough ter-

rain. Use extra care in adverse conditions 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. Al-

low 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 lling vehicle/generator fuel

tank, or LP gas tank.

2. Extinguish all pilot lights before refuelling.

3. Do not ll the LP gas tank or vehicle fuel tank

when the generator is running.

4. Do not bring or store fuel or LP gas containers,

gasoline or other ammable liquids in the vehicle.

Vapours can be released causing breathing dif-

culties or an explosion or re. LP gas containers

vent excess pressure into the atmosphere.

5. Do not ll LP gas containers more than 80% of

capacity. Overlling can lead to excessive venting

or gas ow and result in an explosion or re.

6. Do not use an open ame to check for an LP gas

leak. Use soapy water and watch for bubbles.

Close valve on tank and latch all covers, caps and

doors after lling system.

7. Do not connect natural gas supply to the LP sys-

tem.

8. Install LP gas regulators with the pressure regula-

tor 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 ame 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 re if igniter is not

turned when the burner is turned on. Turn burner

o and let gas dissipate before trying to relight if

it does not light immediately.

10. Do not use the furnace when the vehicle is mov-

ing. Turn the gas o at the LP container.

11. Do not obstruct LP gas compartment when park-

ing. Open access allows emergency workers to

close master valve if an emergency occurs.
