WARNINGS:

SEAT BELTS:

Only forward facing seats equipped with factory installed seat belts are to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion.All passengers must be seated in these seats only,with the seat belts fastened while the vehicle is in motion.

Propane:

Propane tanks shall not be placed or stored inside your vehicle.Propane tanks are equipped with safety devices which relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere.

To reduce the danger of fire or explosion do not store gasoline or other flammable liquids inside your vehicle. Ensure you purchase propane from a reputable propane facility.Contaminated propane is common cause of system failure.

Do not refuel the propane tank to more than 80% of its capacity. The propane tank valve must be closed and ALL PILOT LIGHTS,APPLIANCES,AND THEIR IGNITERS (see

Operating Instructions) SHALL BE TURNED OFF during refueling of motor fuel tank and/or the propane tank. Only qualified personnel should refuel your propane tank.

APPLIANCES:

It is not safe to use cooking appliances for space heating purposes due to the danger of asphyxiation. The propane stove needs fresh air for its safe operation. Portable fuel burning equipment,including wood or charcoal grills and stoves,should not be used inside

your vehicle.Use of this type of equipment inside your vehicle may cause fire or asphyxiation.

PROPANE LEAK DETECTOR:

Do not block air circulation in the area where the Propane Leak Detector is located. Battery disconnect switch must be in the “ON”position for the propane detector to function.

CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK DETECTOR:
