Avoiding Asphyxiation
o
Do not use portable fuel-burning equipment
such as wood or charcoal grills, heaters or
stoves inside the motorhome. The use of this
equipment can produce deadly carbon
monoxide gas or cause fires.
o
Ensure there is proper ventilation before
using the gas range to prevent asphyxiation.
Do NOT use the range to heat the vehicle.
Long-term use of these appliances for space
heating increases the chance of asphyxiation.
Open the overhead vent and open a window
before using the range.
o
Avoid breathing the exhaust fumes from gas
or diesel engines and LP gas burners.
Poisonous exhaust fumes are produced from
operating the motorhome or generator
engine, stove, oven, refrigerator, furnace,
and hot water heater. Position the
motorhome so the wind blows exhaust
fumes away from the vehicle. Ensure proper
ventilation and adequate air exchange when
using LP gas appliances to prevent a buildup
of deadly carbon monoxide gas. Be sure all
alarms are in proper working condition.
o
Do not run the motorhome or generator
engine in a confined area such as a garage
except to remove the vehicle from the
confined area.
o
Use the vent or air conditioning fan to force
fresh air into the vehicle if the vehicle is not
moving but the engine is running for more
than just a few minutes.
o
Maintain engine and generator exhaust
system components to prevent fumes from
entering the motorhome. Check exhaust
systems when changing oil, when exhaust
system sounds change, or when the
underbody of the motorhome makes contact
with an object or becomes damaged.
o
Close rear windows when driving to prevent
drawing exhaust fumes into the vehicle
WARNING
Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline
or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle
because a fire or explosion may result.
Do not use materials that contain ammonia or
chlorine to check for LP gas leaks.
NOTICE
When the motorhome is new, some of the
appliances will burn off paint or residue which
has accumulated during production.
You also may notice some odors from cleaners
which will dissipate with use and ventilation.
