The following

label has been placed in the vehicle near the

1.

Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and all smoking materials.

2.

Do not touch electrical switches.

3.

WARNING

It is not safe to use cooking appliances for

comfort

heating. Cooking appli-

ances need fresh air

for

safe operation.

Before operation:

1.

Open overhead

vent

or

turn

on

exhaust fan, and

2.

Open window.

This warning

label has been located in

the cooking area to remind you to

pro-

vide an adequate supply

of

fresh air for

combustion.

Unlike homes, the amount

of

oxygen supply is limited due to the

size

of

the recreational vehicle, and

proper

ventilation

when

using

the cooking appllance(s) will avoid dangers

of

asphyxiation. It is especially

important that cooking

appliances

not be used for comfort heating as the danger

of

asphyxiation

is

greater when the

appliance

is

used

for

long periods

of

time.

ationalliving.

Vehicle Crash

Like any other vehicle you may drive, your motor home can be involved in a vehicle crash, including a rollover. The motor home will be damaged and you and others can be injured or killed. Drive defensively at all times.

if

you are tired, have been drinking alcoholic

beverages, are under the influence

of

any controlled substance, or are taking any medication or drugs that may impair your sight, hearing, judgment or coordination.

Pull off the road and park in a safe area until you can drive safely.

Vehicle Handling

Your motor home is longer, wider and higher than a typical car or truck you may be accustomed

to

driving. Keep

this in mind

as

you become familiar with driving your motor home. New motor home owners should take special care to learn the driving and handling characteristics of

your vehicle in safe and familiar surroundings. The

distribution of the weight

of

your motor home is designed

so it will handle safely while being driven.

» When loading the motor home, balance the load

front-to-rear

and

side-to-side.

» Load

and

secure heavier items lower in the storage

areas than lighter items.

If

you fail to properly load your belongings and supplies,

you will defeat the load distribution design

of

the motor

home, possibly leading

to

handling problems and a vehicle

crash.

Alterations to Your Motor Home

Many motor home owners like to add a personal touch to their motor home. But there is a difference between changing how your motor home looks versus how it handles or responds to driver inputs.

If

you expect

to

make any type

of

alteration to your motor home, consult

a professional who understands the correct way

to

do the alteration and how the alteration will change or affect the stability, handling, vehicle response, and overall

perfor-

of

your motor home.

An

improper alteration that affects vehicle handling or response can cause a vehicle crash,

and

any improper alteration to

the electrical

or

and

can endanger your motor home

and

its occupants.

Maintenance

It

home. Consult your Fleetwood and

Operator's/Owner's Guide/Manual

for service informa-

See an authorized Fleetwood dealer to have your

motor home serviced or repaired.

You,

or an experienced professional, should check all fluid levels and change fluids and filters when needed. Tire condition and proper inflation pressure is critical to safe operation. Keep your

vehicle properly maintained

to

help avoid a vehicle crash.

Warning Devices

Your motor home is equipped with warning devices. Check them before a trip for proper operation. A disabled warning device cannot warn you or your occupants

of

a life-threatening danger. Keep them working and respond to

them quickly.
