TV ANTENNA
Raising Antenna to Operating Position
Turn the elevating crank clockwise in the UP direction about thirteen turns or until some
resistance to turning is noted. (Fig. 3-14)
On Amplified models, 12-Volt DC power is required. Turn the power supply ON to use
either the front or rear TV outlet. (Fig. 3-15) Neither outlet will work unless the power
supply switch is on. Turning the power supply on sends 12-volt DC through the cable to
the antenna. The voltage energizes the transistors on the amplifier in the antenna head.
The TV signal comes back down the cable to the outlets.
After the antenna is in the full UP position, pull down on the round knob with both hands
until it disengages from the ceiling plate. Rotate the knob for best picture. (Fig. 3-16)
To Test System
1. Make sure the TV set is working properly.
2. Switch the power supply ON and OFF to see if there
is a difference in the picture quality while watching
TV. If there is NO difference, refer to manufacturer’s
manual for further testing procedures.
1
CAUTION:
The power supply must be turned OFF when connecting/dis
connecting the cables to the power supply and antenna, but must be turned
ON when testing for voltage.
Lowering Antenna to Travel Position
Rotate the antenna until the pointer on the
directional handle aligns with the pointer on
the ceiling plate. Turn the elevating crank
counterclockwise in the DOWN direction
about thirteen turns or until resistance is
noted. The antenna is now locked in the
travel position. (Fig. 3-17)
1
CAUTION:
When lowering the antenna, never lower it into any position
except the TRAVEL POSITION. Failure to lower antenna into the TRAVEL
POSITION before traveling may damage the antenna and is not covered by warranty.
Maintenance
See “TV Antenna Maintenance” in Chapter 7.
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
(With Generator Option - certain Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailers only)
If your towable RV has a generator or generator prep, a carbon monoxide detector will be
installed on your unit.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that is extremely dangerous
to humans and animals. The following symptoms are indicative of individuals exposed to
carbon monoxide:
Mild Exposure:
Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue
Medium Exposure:
Severe headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate
Extreme Exposure:
Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death
A UL listed carbon monoxide detector has been installed in your camper. It is designed
to detect toxic CO fumes. It is not a substitute for other combustible gas, fire or smoke
alarms.
Procedures to Take During an Alarm
1
WARNING:
The activation of the CO detector is a warning that
indicates the presence of carbon monoxide!
1
WARNING:
Do not disconnect the CO detector to silence the alarm.
The detector is designed to sense when the level of CO in the air falls
below the danger level. All individuals should remain outside the unit until the
alarm is silent.
• If someone is suffering from an upset stomach, headache or other symptom, immediately
move to a location that has fresh air. Ensure that everyone is accounted for, including
pets. Call the Fire Department. Do not reenter the unit until the source of carbon mon-
oxide has been located and repaired by a qualified technician.
1
WARNING:
Low levels of CO have been linked to brain and vital
organ damage to unborn infants with no effect on the mother. Pregnant
women must leave the unit immediately if an alarm is sounded and not return
until the unit has been repaired and aired out thoroughly.
• If no one exhibits the symptoms associated with carbon monoxide:
1. Push reset button.
2. Turn off all sources of combustion including water heater, furnace, stove, oven, and
automobile.
3. Open windows and doors and move to a location that has fresh air.
4. Call a qualified technician and have the problem corrected before restarting appli-
ances and/or vehicles.
Maintenance/Testing
See “Maintenance and Testing” instructions in Chapter 7. Additional information is
