OF THE MANUAL

These Installation Instructions have been prepared especially for the purpose of familiarizing installers and owners of the applicable equipment with the product's installation requirements. Give serious consideration to all information and instructions in the manual, both for safety and for continued reliable operation of the equipment.

Because of the different recreational vehicle mod- els and the variations between the models, it would be extremely difficult, if not impractical, to provide detailed instructions for every possible installation. For that reason, instructions and illustrations in this manual are general in nature. Illustrations are not intended to serve as detailed installation blueprints.

The installation should comply strictly with all appli- cable codes, standards and regulations pertaining to the installation and use of this product. If any portion of this manual appears to be in conflict with such codes, standards or regulations, the applicable codes, standards or regulations must take prece- dence over the manual.
