Carbon Monoxide Detector
Carbon monoxide is a colorless,
tasteless, odorless gas. It is a by-
product of the burning of fossil fuels
(gasoline, LP gas, diesel fuel, etc.).
The chassis and generator engines,
furnaces, water heater, LP gas
refrigerator,
and range produce carbon monoxide
constantly while they are operating.
Carbon monoxide is DEADLY.
Please read and understand the
following precautions to protect
yourself and others from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
If you, or anyone else, experience any carbon monoxide symptoms (dizziness,
nausea, vomiting, muscular twitching, throbbing in the temples, inability to
think coherently, weakness and sleepiness, or intense headaches) exit the
coach immediately. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Shut down the
unit and do not operate it until it has been thoroughly inspected and repaired.
WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly. Do not block the tailpipes or exhaust ports.
Do not situate the vehicle 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 engines, carbon monoxide-producing
systems, or components only when safe dispersion of exhaust gases can
be assured. Monitor outside conditions to be sure that exhaust continues
to be dispersed safely. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU
OPERATE ANY ENGINE WHILE SLEEPING. When you are sleeping you will
not be able to monitor outside conditions to assure that engine exhaust
does not enter into the coach. Check the exhaust system frequently for
damage. If damage is found, do not operate the system. Never modify the
exhaust system(s) in any way.
The detector is equipped with a “sensor activation strip.” This strip must be
removed for the detector to operate properly. This should have been done
