Maintenance
There are some simple steps to perform in order to keep the smoke alarm working properly:
• Test the smoke alarm once a week.
• Keep a supply of 9 Volt DC batteries on hand.
• Vacuum the slots in the cover and sides with a soft brush attachment every month. Test the
smoke alarm once the unit has been vacuumed.
• The smoke alarm will beep once a minute when a low battery condition exists to signify bat-
tery must be immediately replaced.
Troubleshooting
If the alarm does not sound when the test button is pushed, or with a smoke test, try the following:
• Inspect for obvious damage.
• Check for the recommended battery type.
• Check the battery for proper connection or replace
the battery if needed.
• Gently vacuum as recommended.
If these procedures do not correct the problem, do not attempt repairs. If the smoke alarm is within
the warranty period and the terms indicate the nature of the problem, return the unit to your dealer.
Smoke detectors beyond the warranty period cannot be economically repaired.
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A119.2 -
Fire & Life Safety 3-4.6 Carbon Monoxide Detectors
states " All RVs equipped with an internal combustion
engine or designed with features to accommodate future
installation of an internal combustion engine and truck
campers shall be equipped with a listed CO detector
installed in accordance with its listing."
The motorhome is equipped with such a Carbon
Monoxide detector. Everyone is at risk with Carbon
Monoxide poisoning. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless,
odorless and tasteless gas that binds with hemoglobin reduc-
ing the body's ability to absorb and carry oxygen to vital
organs. Even low levels of CO have been known to cause
brain and other vital organ damage in unborn infants, with
no effect on the mother.
