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.
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.
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
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
during the dealer’s Pre-Delivery Inspection. Please check the detector to verify
that the activation strip has been removed. Please consult your carbon
monoxide detector User’s Guide for more detailed information.
