Detector Test
The Test/Reset button is used to verify proper alarm
function. Executing the test function sounds the alarm
and lights up the red LED. The test will sound the
alarm twice, with four beeps in 1 second, followed by
5 seconds of silence. By pressing the button, you can
verify that the alarm sounds and the LED functions
properly.
WARNING
Activation of this detector indicates the possible
presence of LPG, which can cause an explosion
and/or fire, causing serious injury or death. This
normally indicates a leak in the LPG installation
or an LPG appliance. Extinguish all open flames,
open your windows and door, and evacuate the
unit immediately. Do not activate any electrical
switch. Turn off the LPG at your gas tank(s). Do not
re-enter your unit until a qualified repair technician
has corrected the problem and certified the system
as safe.
WARNING
It is not recommended that the detector be
disconnected from the battery during periods of
storage. There is a small heater on the sensor of
the device that burns away impurities in the air
during periods of normal use. During periods when
power is interrupted, impurities can build up on the
sensor. When power is returned to the detector,
the detector alarm may activate until the impurities
are burned off. This could take a number of hours,
during which time the alarm will be constantly on.
WARNING
Have a qualified technician check your LPG system
annually or if you detect any signs of leaks or
malfunctions.
NOTE
Refer to Section 5 - Interior and Section 6 -
Exterior for additional LPG warnings and safety
information.
Fire Extinguisher
The fire extinguisher should be checked for charge on
a regular basis. Make sure your family, especially the
cook, knows how to release the extinguisher storage
bracket, and how to properly operate the extinguisher.
Check with your local fire department for professional
advice on its operation and use if you find the
directions on the extinguisher unclear. They will be able
and willing to assist you and your family.
Emergency Exits
Safety should always be a top priority. Ensure that you,
and everyone traveling with you, can operate the main
door and emergency exit window rapidly, without light.
Obviously, your primary exit from your trailer will be
the main cabin door in the rear of Nest. However, if the
main door is blocked and evacuation from the trailer is
necessary, use the emergency escape window. This
window identified by its RED release handle.
1. Remove bug screen from window frame
2. Depress RED-tipped window handle to release
from latch, then pull straight
3. Push handle through frame, window will swing free;
climb out to safety
Plan ahead and consider other means of escape in case
the designated exits are blocked.
WARNING
Window operation should be checked before
each trip and latches lubricated with WD-40® or
equivalent every six months.
