should last for 30 days. To assure continued protection,
you MUST replace the battery once the smoke alarm’s low
battery warning (beeping) is detected.
Test
Test smoke alarm operation after vehicle has been in
storage, before each trip, and at least once per week
during use.
Failure to do so can result in an undetected faulty
smoke alarm, which could lead to death or serious
injury.
WARNING WARNING
To test the smoke alarm, stand at arm’s length from the
smoke alarm, as the alarm horn is loud and may be harmful
to your hearing. Actuate the test button, which will activate
the alarm. Pressing the test button will accurately test all
functions. Never use an open flame to test the smoke alarm.
Maintenance
Vacuum off any dust on the cover of the smoke alarm using
a soft brush attachment. Test the smoke alarm once you
have vacuumed. Never use water, cleaners or solvents to
clean the smoke alarm as they may damage the alarm. Do
not paint the smoke alarm. Refer to the manufacturer’s
owner's manual for detailed maintenance information.
Replacement
Smoke alarms have a limited life and must be replaced fol-
lowing the smoke alarm manufacturer’s instructions, and/
or the expiration date listed on the device.
Do not use gas cooking appliances for comfort heating.

This is a storage area only and not intended for
human or animal occupancy. Failure to follow these
instructions could lead to injury or death.

WARNING WARNING
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas that is color-
less, odorless and tasteless. Many cases of reported carbon
monoxide poisoning indicate, that while victims are aware
they are not feeling well, they become so disoriented they
are unable to save themselves by either exiting the vehicle or
calling for assistance. Due to their physical size, young chil-
dren and household pets may be the first to show symptoms
of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or suffocation
exists in any confined space. Do not allow children or pets
to play or become entrapped within the storage compart-
ments of your motorhome.
