Engines, generators, and water heaters all emit exhausts that could possibly enter your
coach. While unlikely, these systems may also develop leaks of diesel or propane gas. For
your safety, the following items are standard on every Safari coach:
Smoke Alarms
Your coach is equipped with a smoke alarm that has been mounted on the ceiling of the
galley area. The smoke alarm, like in your home, should be tested weekly and at the
beginning of a trip to make sure it is operating properly. Refer to the manufacturer's
manual for details and maintenance.
WARNING: Alarms should be tested weekly in order to assure proper operation.
Test smoke detector operation before each trip, and at least once a
week during use. Please refer to the manufacturer's manual for battery
replacement and maintenance.
Propane Detector
The propane detector is mounted near the floor in the galley. Its purpose is to detect
propane gas leaks, but it is sensitive to other gases, such as those found in hair spray,
perfumes, alcohol, or odors produced by some cooking spices.
The propane detector is operating at all times. When first turned on the detector will beep
while in its warm-up mode. It will then begin monitoring the immediate environment for
combustible vapors. The detector is operational when the green light is on.
WARNING: If LP-Gas is detected, the red indicator light will flash and a pulsat-
ing alarm will sound until the gas has dissipated or until the mute
button is pressed. If the alarm sounds, you should open the door
and windows and evacuate the coach until the alarm stops. After
the alarm has stopped, be sure to check the LP-Gas tank, lines, and
appliances for leaks.
