CO & LP GAS ALARM
Your camper is equipped with a CO/Propane Leak alarm near the floor
that will sound when Carbon Monoxide reaches dangerous levels or if a
propane leak occurs.
If alarm signal sounds:
1. Move to fresh air immediately. Evacuate all persons from the
camper, leaving doors and windows open and execute your Safety
Plan. Do not silence the alarm. If possible, shut off gas supply at the
source and turn off all gas appliances.
2. Call Emergency Services. Do not re-enter the camper until
Emergency Service responders have arrived, the camper has been
aired out and your alarm returns to normal condition.
3. If the alarm re-activates after 24 hours, it may be evidence of a
propane leak or appliance malfunction. Repeat steps 1 and 2 and
then have a qualified technician investigate. If equipment needs
serviced, do so immediately. If a technician is not available, contact
the nearest fire department for assistance.
How to test alarm for proper operation: (Unit must be powered on for
at least three minutes before testing)
1. Press the “TEST” button until the alarm sounds.
2. All LEDs will light up and alarm will sound twice.
3. The LED flashes red and returns to normal operation displaying a
flashing green LED every 8 seconds.
4. If alarm does not sound or light up, you may need to have a service
technician examine and/or repair it.
Important Information:
• The alarm is powered by the 12V DC system. Disconnect the battery
when not using the camper to keep the battery from being drained.
• The alarm will need to be replaced after 7 years.
• Read the user manual for the alarm found in your Owner’s Packet for
complete safety instructions and troubleshooting and incorporate
useful practices listed therein into your Safety Plan.
• The alarm sensor may detect other vapors such as gasoline,
acetone, alcohol, butane and other fumes that can be found in
perfumes, alcoholic beverages, adhesives, kerosene, cleaning
agents and aerosol cans.
• Read all safety related messages in the propane gas section of this
manual. [See pages 30-32]
