INTRODUCTION
 
CAUTION
 indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, 
could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE:
  used  without  the  safety  alert  symbol  indicates  a  potentially  hazardous 
situation that, if not avoided, could result in property damage.
NOTE: Important information regarding the maintenance of your recreational vehicle.
(Optional)  This  denotes  items  that  may  be  an  option  on  all  or  particular  models. 
Additionally,  some  optional  items  can  only  be  included  during  the  manufacturing 
phase and cannot be added. 
The inclusion of optional items does not imply or suggest the availability, application 
suitability, or inclusion for any specific unit.
Important Safety Precautions
You’ll find many safety recommendations on this page and throughout this manual.  
The recommendations on the next two pages are the ones we consider to be the most 
important. They are covered in depth in later sections of this manual.
Do Not Allow Passengers to Ride in the Trailer During Travel
The transport of people puts their lives at risk and may be illegal.  The trailer does not 
have seat belts, therefore, it is not designed to carry passengers.
Reducing Fishtailing or Sway (See page B-9)
Sway  or  fishtailing  is  the  sideways  action  of  a  trailer  caused  by  external  forces.  
Excessive  sway  of  your  travel  trailer  can  lead  to  the  rollover  of  the  trailer  and  tow 
vehicle resulting in serious injury or death.  Be sure to follow the instructions in this 
manual.
Mold (See page C-7)
There are mold and mold spores throughout the indoor and outdoor environment.  There 
is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; the 
way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
Towing and Weight Distribution (See section B. pages 1-11)
Weight distribution is an important factor when loading your travel trailer.  A recreational 
vehicle with the cargo distributed properly will result in efficient, trouble-free towing. 
Be sure to follow the instructions in this manual.
Formaldehyde (See Chemical Sensitivity; Ventilation section on the next page)
Formaldehyde is an important chemical used widely by industry to manufacture building 
materials and numerous household products.  It is also a by-product of combustion 
and certain other natural processes.  Thus, it may be present inside the trailer with 
some  individuals  being  sensitive  to  it.    Ventilation  of  the  unit  normally  reduces  the 
exposure to a comfortable level.
Lug Nut Torquing (See page D-14)
Being  sure  wheel  mounting  nuts  (lug  nuts)  on  trailer  wheels  are  tight  and  properly 
torqued is an important responsibility that trailer owners and users need to be familiar 
with  and  practice.    Inadequate  and/or  inappropriate  wheel  nut  torque  (tightness)  is 
a major reason that lug nuts loosen in service.  Loose lug nuts can rapidly lead to a 
wheel separation with potentially serious safety consequences. Be sure to follow the 
instructions in this manual.
Appliances and Equipment (See pages F1-F3 and page H-1)
