Cleaning
Do not wash. Wipe the detector with a damp cloth to remove dust and dry with a soft cloth. Ensure that the
holes on the front of the alarm are not blocked with dirt and dust. Do not open the detector for cleaning. Do not
paint the detector. Do not spray cleaning agents or waxes directly onto the front panel. It is recommend that the
carbon monoxide detector be replaced every 5 years.
CAUTION:
Check the CO detector weekly and at the beginning and end of each trip. A faulty alarm WILL NOT
alert occupants to hazardous levels of CO gas.
NOTE:
The CO detector is accurate at the time the manual was printed. If the motorhome is equipped with a
different model see the Manufacturer’s Instructions for detailed information on operation and safety.
Manufacturer’s Instructions are located in the Owner’s Information packet.
fIre extIngUISher
The fire extinguisher in the motorhome is located near the main entrance door. Please read the
operating instructions printed on the fire extinguisher. If there is any doubt on how to operate the fire
extinguisher practice using it. Replace or recharge the extinguisher immediately after use. Three classes
of fire can occur in a motorhome. Any fire can fall into more than one class; a fire that involves both
burning paper and kitchen grease is a Class AB fire.
Classes of Fire:
A -
Fires that are fueled by materials that leave a residue when they burn: paper, wood, cloth, rubber,
and certain plastics.
B -
Fires that involve flammable liquids and gases: gasoline, paint thinner, kitchen
grease, propane and acetylene.
C -
Fires that involve energized electrical wiring or equipment. If electricity to the
equipment is turned off, a class C fire becomes one of the other two class fires.
Use the PASS method:
P
ull the pin. Hold extinguisher upright.
A
im at the base (bottom) of the fire and stand six feet away.
S
queeze the lever to discharge the agent.
S
weep the spray side to side until fire is totally extinguished.
Maintenance
Inspect the fire extinguisher at least once a month. Inspect more
frequently if the extinguisher is exposed to weather or possible
tampering.
Do not
test the extinguisher by partially discharging.
Internal pressure will escape and the fire extinguisher will need to
be replaced.
WARNING:
Road vibration will cause extinguisher powder to compact
and may cause extinguisher malfunction. Invert and shake
the extinguisher monthly.
