Section 2: Occupant Safety
16
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate while victims are aware they
are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting
the recreational vehicle or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may
be the first affected.
This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of
combustion. It is not designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas. Please note that there
are hazards against which carbon monoxide detection may not be effective, such as natural
gas leaks or explosions.
This alarm is designed to sense the presence of carbon monoxide, however there are other
combustible fumes or vapors that may be detected by the sensor including (but not limited
to): acetone, alcohol, butane and gasoline.
These chemicals can be found in commonly used items such as deodorants, colognes, per-
fumes, adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, glues, wine, liquor, most cleaning agents and the pro-
pellants of aerosol cans.
High temperatures can activate glue and adhesive vapors. If you close up a recreational
vehicle on a hot day, the chemicals used in its construction may be detected for months after
the vehicle was constructed (for more information, refer to Sec. 2, Formaldehyde).

Do not cover or obstruct the carbon monoxide alarm with anything that
could prevent gas from entering the alarm.
 This alarm is not designed to detect smoke, fire or gases other than car
-
bon monoxide.

The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary
indoor locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or
industrial standards

Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm.

Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices
that provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentra-
tions under 30 PPM.

This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the
sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.

The ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic carbon monoxide
fumes rests solely on you. Installing a carbon monoxide alarm is just the
first step in protecting your family from toxic carbon monoxide poison
-
ing. The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning
and should be discussed with all members of the household.

Symptoms of CO Poising include:
○
Mild Exposure: Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, often de-
scribed as “flu”-like symptoms.
○
Medium Exposure: Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting.
○
Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, brain damage, death.

Test the alarm operation after the recreational vehicle has been in storage,
before each trip and at least once per week during use.
