SAFETY
CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT BATTERY:
This CO Alarm requires one 9V alkaline battery. The
following batteries are acceptable as replacements:
Alkaline Batteries — Duracell MN1604 or Energizer 522;
Lithium Batteries — Ultralife U9VL-J. These replacement
batteries are commonly available at local retail stores.
To keep the CO Alarm in good working order:
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
•
Test it every week using the Test/Silence button.
•
Vacuum the CO Alarm cover once a month, using the
soft brush attachment. Never use water, cleaners, or
solvents, since these may damage the unit. Test the
CO Alarm again after vacuuming.
•
Replace the batteries when the CO Alarm “chirps”
about every minute (the low battery warning). The
low battery warning should last for 30 days, but you
should replace the battery immediately to continue
your protection.
WARNING
!
Always use the exact batteries specified by this
User’s Manual. DO NOT use rechargeable batteries.
For products requiring multiple batteries, replace all
batteries of a set at the same time. Do Not Mix Old and
New Batteries. Clean the battery contacts and also
those of the device prior to battery installation. Install
batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).
WARNING
!
Please dispose of or recycle used batteries properly,
following any local regulations. Consult your local
waste management authority or recycling organization
to find an electronics recycling facility in your area.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES
MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.

Propane Safety
This article provides details about the propane fuel
system in a Newmar coach, including propane safety and
maintenance.
Your coach may be equipped with an ASME (American
Society of Mechanical Engineers) approved propane
tank. This tank is controlled with an automatic pressure
regulator. The propane tank contains liquid petroleum gas
under high pressure. As the fuel is used, the liquid gas
vaporizes and passes through the tank valve to a regulator
that automatically reduces the pressure. The low-pressure
gas is then distributed to the appliances throughout the
pipe manifold system.
The components relating to the propane gas system in
your coach have been approved for use in recreational
vehicles by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.
Propane gas is a clean-burning dependable fuel when
properly handled.
The propane detector in your coach is located in the
main living area close to the floor. It is wired to the 12 volt
electrical system in your unit and may be controlled by a
switch in the front overhead cabinet. Operating instructions
and a test button are located on the face of the detector.
The propane detector should be tested after the vehicle
has been in storage, before each trip, and at least once per
week during use.
Never attempt to repair the propane detector. Do not
remove the fuse or disconnect wiring to the propane
detector. If the propane detector will not function, check for
12 volt power at the detector. If an issue is found, or if the 12
volt electric circuit not operational, repair the 12 volt issue
or replace the propane detector.
PROPANE (LP) DETECTOR
Propane Safety
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and
charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used inside the
coach, as they can cause fire or asphyxiation. Failure
to comply could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
!
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide (an odorless,
colorless, and poisonous gas) produced by burned
gasoline, diesel, or propane gas. Items such as the
range, furnace, water heater, refrigerator, chassis
engine, or generator engine can produce these gases.
These fumes should not be inhaled.
DANGER
!
While in high altitudes or extreme cold weather, a gas
shortage may be experienced. Running one appliance
at a time can help adjust to this problem.
IMPORTANT
!
IMPORTANT
!
Do not use coach with a non-operational LP detector.
