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 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 character-
istics. 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. 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 wa-
ter, 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 fi lling vehicle/generator
fuel tank, or LP gas tank.
2. Extinguish all pilot lights before refuelling.
3. Do not fi ll the LP gas tank or vehicle fuel tank
when the generator is running.
4. Do not bring or store fuel or LP gas contain-
ers, gasoline or other fl ammable liquids in the
vehicle. Vapours can be released causing
breathing diffi culties or an explosion or fi re. LP
gas containers vent excess pressure into the
atmosphere.
5. Do not fi ll LP gas containers more than 80%
of capacity. Overfi lling can lead to excessive
venting or gas fl ow and result in an explosion
or fi re.
6. Do not use an open fl ame to check for an LP
gas leak. Use soapy water and watch for the
bubbles. Close valve on tank and latch all cov-
ers, caps and doors after fi lling system.
7. Do not connect natural gas supply 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 fl ame or heat lamp to thaw out.
9. Turn igniter knob to create a spark at the burn-
er when burner is turned on. Large volumes of
gas can lead to an explosion and fi re 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. Open access allows emergency
workers to close master valve if an emergency
occurs.
