Avoid inhaling the dry chemicals. Although non-toxic, they could cause<br />

temporary irritation and vomiting. When the fire is out, clean up the area as soon<br />

as possible. The dry chemicals are non-corrosive, but some residue may cause<br />

surface damage if left too long.<br />

To keep the fire extinguisher in proper operating conditions:<br />

1. Check Pressure monthly or more often. Check the nozzle for<br />

obstruction. Press the green pin below the nozzle. If it returns and<br />

sticks out from the extinguisher, it is operable. If the pin does not<br />

come back, discard extinguisher. Refillable models have a pressure<br />

gauge to check.<br />

2. Check the Tamper Tape to make sure it is intact. DO NOT test the<br />

extinguisher. Even a partial discharge may cause leakage.<br />

3. When checking the extinguisher for pressure, enter the date checked<br />

on the Inspection Tag furnished with the motor home. Regular<br />

inspections will help insure the condition.<br />

4. Agitate Dry Chemical every six (6) months by inverting the bottle<br />

and lightly shaking for several seconds. This will help prevent the dry<br />

chemical from settling due to in motion vibrations.<br />

THE SMOKE ALARM CANNOT OPERATE WITHOUT A 9<br />

VOLT BATTERY. Removing the battery for any reason,<br />

or failing to replace the battery at the end of it's service<br />

life, removes your protection. Refer to the manufacturer<br />

owner’s manual for proper replacement batteries.<br />

Test smoke detector operation after vehicle has<br />

been in storage, before each trip, and at least once<br />

per week during use. Replace battery every six<br />

months.<br />

The motorhome should never be operated or occupied<br />

unless the smoke detector is present and functioning<br />

properly.<br />

The smoke alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that reaches the sensor.<br />

The smoke alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat or flames.<br />

For instruction on programming the alarm refer to the Smoke Alarm User’s<br />

Manual within your Owner’s Packet for detailed setup information.<br />

Never remove a fuse or battery providing power to a<br />

Carbon Monoxide, LP, or Smoke alarm for the pupose of<br />

turning the alarm off.<br />
