Exhaust gases are deadly. Do not block the tail pipe or situate your
vehicle or propane appliance exhaust systems in a place where the
exhaust gases have any possibility of accumulating either outside, underneath, or inside your
vehicle or any nearby vehicles. Outside air movements can carry exhaust gases inside the vehicle
through windows or other openings remote from the exhaust outlet. Operate the engine only when
safe dispersion of exhaust gases can be assured.
The motorhome should never be operated or occupied unless the
CO Detector is present and functioning properly. Do not under any
circumstances operate the vehicle or generator engine while sleeping.
The carbon monoxide detector is installed without batteries. To install the batteries, press
the tab at the top of the CO detector and slide the detector upwards. Open the battery
compartment door by hinging the left lower side downward. This exposes the battery
compartment. Install the batteries as indicated. The detector should beep indicating
correct installation. Reverse the above procedure to reinstall the detector. Test the
detector before you start every trip.
When lighting your propane appliances for the first time, or after refueling the propane
tank, trapped air will need to be purged from the system which could take a few seconds
or a few minutes, depending on the distance of the appliance from the tank. Follow
the appliance manufacturer’s lighting and operating instructions found in the Owner’s
Information Kit. Be sure that the water heater has water in it prior to igniting.
Every sleeping area in your recreational vehicle is provided with exits. These exits are
either in the form of an exit window (which will be labeled EXIT in red letters) or the main
entry door, which is not labeled, serves as an exit. The exit window handles will also be
red in color. Lift the handles and push the window open to exit. Make sure all occupants
are aware of the exit locations and their operation.
Make sure to read and understand the generator owner’s manual before
operating the generator. Observe all operating instructions and warnings as
well as all recommended maintenance schedules and procedures.
The onboard generator makes your RV fully self-contained. It allows you access to 120
volts when there is no shore power available, but keep in mind that carbon monoxide
is deadly! Never sleep in the RV while the generator is running! Before you start and
use the generator inspect the exhaust system. Do not use it if the exhaust system is
damaged. Test the carbon monoxide detector every time you use the RV. Know what
the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Dizziness
Vomiting
Nausea
Muscular twitching
Intense headache
Throbbing in the temples
Weakness and sleepiness
Inability to think coherently
