GENERAL SAFETY
Please read before using your new
motorhome.
In order for you to get the most out of your new
Explorer Group motorhome it is necessary for
you to be aware of the following:
(i) Do not obstruct ventilators (See Safety
Section - Ventilation)
(ii) Inspect the flexible gas hose regularly for
deterioration and renew as necessary, with
approved type, as and in any case no later
than the expiry date stated on the hose.
(iii) It is recommended that you provide a dry
powder fire extinguisher complying with
ISO 7165 of at least 1 KG capacity by the
exit door and a fire blanket next to the
cooker. Ensure you read the ‘advice to
occupier label’ fitted to your motorhome.
(iv) Never use portable cooking or heating
equipment inside your motorhome. Do
not use your fitted cooking equipment as
heating at any time.
(v) Never allow modification to your gas or
electrical system unless qualified persons
carry them out. A Gas Safe Register™
approved gas fitter should carry out all
modification to the gas system. Any
modifications carried out on the electrical
system should be carried out by an
electrician on the roll of the NICEIC or be
a member of the ECA.
(vi) Never exceed your motorhome’s
Maximum Technical Permissible Laden
Mass.
(vii) Never exceed the front or rear axle
maximum load as specified by the Peugeot
weight plate under the bonnet.
(viii) Please ensure extra care when young
children use high level bunks and always
use the safety net provided.
(ix) Turn off all gas appliances and turn off the
gas supply before driving your
motorhome.
(x) Do not leave children under 14 years of
age unattended in your motorhome.
(xi) Ensure the main gas tap is in the off
position before setting off on any journey.
(xii) Only those seats designated for travelling
should be occupied when the motorhome
is in motion.
(xiii) Please note that motorhomes are covered
by the new seat belt regulations, which
came into force in October 2006. These
require children that are under 12 years
old and also under 135cm in height to be
seated in either child seats or on bolster
cushions.
(xiv) Before travelling in your motorhome:
(a) Ensure all the tables have been stored
in their designated table storage position.
(b) Ensure that the water heater cowl has
been secured onto the external vent.
Proper And Safe Use Of Storage Areas In
Motorhomes
The storage areas provided in your motorhome
are designed solely for the purpose of carrying
personal possessions; these areas must not be
used:
• As a habitation area (e.g. living, sleeping or
cooking).
•To carry passengers, animals or livestock.
•For the installation (or use) of any LPG gas
operated appliances, (unless supplied fitted by
the manufacturer).
•For carrying LPG gas bottle cylinders, (unless
designated by the manufacturer).
•To carry any flammable liquids, (unless
properly stored, sealed and secured).
•For the operation of an electrical generator.
• In such a way that the loading exceeds the
payload limit, as defined by the manufacturer.
• Such that the weight distribution of the
vehicle means non-compliance with the
vehicle axle loads.
Care must be taken to ensure that exterior
doors are closed, locked and that all possessions
are properly stored and secured before setting
off on any journey.
