3 - GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MOTOR HOME
Read and understand all instructions and pre-
cautions in this manual before operating your
new motor home.
GENERAL WARNINGS
• Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be
occupied while the vehicle is moving.
• Make sure all passengers have seat belts
fastened in a low and snug position so the
force exerted by the belt in a collision will be
spread across the strong hip area. Pregnant
women should wear a lap-shoulder belt
whenever possible, with the lap belt portion
worn low and snug throughout the
pregnancy.
• All moveable or swiveling seats should be
placed and locked in forward facing positions
while the vehicle is moving.
• Never let passengers stand or kneel on seats
while the vehicle is moving.
• Sleeping facilities are not to be utilized while
vehicle is moving.
• Examine the escape window and be familiar
with its operation.
• Ιnspect the fire extinguisher monthly for
proper charge and operating condition. This
should also be done before beginning a vaca-
tion or any extended trip.
DRIVING
• Do not attempt to adjust the driver’s seat
while the vehicle is moving.
• Do not adjust tilt steering in a moving vehi-
cle.
• Do not operate the cruise control on icy or ex-
tremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy
traffic, or in any other traffic situation where
a constant speed cannot be maintained.
• Use care when accelerating or decelerating
on a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes
can cause skidding and loss of control.
• Driving through water deep enough to wet
the brakes may affect stopping distance or
cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Check
brake operation in a safe area to be sure they
have not been affected. Never operate any
vehicle if a difference in braking efficiency is
noticeable.
• Adverse weather conditions and extremes in
terrain may affect handling and/or perfor-
mance of your vehicle. Refer to your chassis
manual for related information.
FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
Some components in this vehicle con-
tain formaldehyde based adhesives
which may release formaldehyde
fumes into the air for an unknown
period of time until total dissipation
occurs. Individuals who are allergic
to formaldehyde gas fumes may
experience irritation to eyes, ears,
nose and throat. Reaction in infants
may be more severe. Although long
range effects are not well understood,
testing to date has not revealed any
serious health effects in humans at the
level of emission from these prod-
ucts.
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
