2 SAFETY
Safety, comfort and ease of operation are key considerations during the design and manufacturing of all Triple E Motorhomes.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read, understand and follow all instructions in the Motorhome, chassis
and appliance or auxiliary system manuals and from safety signs on the vehicle. Specic items, procedures or instructions
are identied with the key words IMPORTANT, CAUTION and WARNING to emphasize areas of special concern. These key
words are dened as:
IMPORTANT: This word is used to highlight or emphasize a specic procedure, information or result for a system or
the vehicle.
CAUTION: This word is used to highlight or emphasize a specic procedure or information that if not followed will
result in damage to a system or the vehicle.
WARNING: This word is used to highlight or emphasize a specic procedure or information that if not followed
can involve your personal safety as well as cause vehicle damage.
The safety glyph identies an area that involves the personal safety of the operator, passengers or a bystander. Always
read, understand and follow the instructions and information in the safety sign or manual instruction. Do not take chances
with safety. Most accidents can be prevented.
In this section we have compiled a series of items relating to safety that everyone should follow. Although this compilation
is thorough, we realize that it does not cover everything. Each person has the responsibility of following all listed safety
items covered in this and other manuals.
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY
1. The most important safety feature on this vehicle is a safe operator. It is the operator's responsibility to read, understand
and follow all safety and operating instructions in the vehicle, chassis, appliance and system manuals. Most accidents
can be prevented.
2. A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualied to operate this vehicle.
An untrained or uninformed operator exposes themselves, passengers and other drivers/vehicles/property to possible
serious injury or death and property damage.
3. Do not modify the vehicle in any way. Unauthorized modication may impair the function and/or safety and could
aect the life of the vehicle.
4. All approved driver and passenger seats are equipped with seat belts. When occupied while driving, each must be locked
in the forward facing direction. Each driver and passenger must occupy only the approved seats and fasten seat belts
when the unit is moving. Do not allow any passengers in the vehicle unless they have their seat belt attached while
in an approved seat. When the vehicle is moving, no one should be using the sleeping, cooking, bathroom, or living
areas.
5. Always fasten the seat belt low on the torso and keep it snug to transmit the force from the belt into the hip/pelvic
area of the body. Pregnant women should wear a lap/shoulder belt whenever possible. Wear the belt snug and low
throughout the pregnancy.
6. Review the location, function and operation of the escape window with everyone who will be riding in or using the
motorhome. Inspect the locking mechanism.
7. Establish a monthly re extinguisher inspection program to keep the extinguisher in good condition and fully charged.
Inspect the extinguisher again prior to a vacation or trip.
8. Always exercise extreme care and caution when climbing onto and walking on the roof.
