CARBON
MONOXIDE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas. It is a by-product of combustion
in the engine, generator and propane appliances. The engines in your motorhome and
generator system produce it constantly while they are running. CARBON MONOXIDE
IS DEADLY. Please read and understand the following precautions to protect yourself
and others from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
DO NOT ALTER OR MODIFY ANY COMPONENT OF THE
EXHAUST SYSTEM AT ANY TIME. Inspect the exhaust
system at regular intervals for damage. If you suspect or
locate damage to the system, have it repaired immediately
by a qualified service facility.
NEVER SLEEP WHILE THE ENGINE OR GENERATOR
IS RUNNING. Be aware of carbon monoxide poisoning
and its symptoms: Dizziness, Severe Headache,
Vomiting, Weakness, Sleepiness, Muscular Twitching,
and Throbbing in Temples. If anyone in the motorhome
experiences any of these symptoms, shut off the engine,
and immediately go outside into fresh air. Get medical
attention as soon as possible.
LP SAFETY
CAUTION
This tank is equipped with an automatic valve designed
to close at 80% liquid full. Always open 20% fixed liquid
level bleeder gauge while filling. Stop filling if liquid
appears before valve shuts off.
ALL PROPANE GAS IS CONTAINED UNDER PRESSURE.
DUE TO THE DANGEROUS POTENTIAL OF ANY
COMPRESSED GAS, IT IS MANDATORY THAT THE
FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USE OF THIS
TANK BE FOLLOWED: Tanks are to be installed, fueled
and maintained in accordance with the state and local
codes, rules, regulations or laws and in accordance with
the NFPA Pamphlet 58, division IV.
IF YOU SMELL GAS, EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES,
PILOT LIGHTS, AND ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO
NOT TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES. Shut off the gas
supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
Open doors and other ventilation openings. Do not use
the range hood. Leave the area until the odor clears
and have the system checked by a trained professional
before using again.
Over-filling the Propane gas tank can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause
fire or explosion. A properly filled tank will contain approximately 80% of its volume as
liquid Propane. An 80% automatic shut-off valve is installed on the Propane gas tank
which will automatically prevent further filling when the gas volume has reached 80%
of tank capacity.
Your Smoke Alarm requires one standard 9V battery. The following batteries are
acceptable as replacements: Duracell #MN1604, (Ultra) #MX1604; Eveready
(Energizer) #522. You may also use a Lithium battery like the Ultralife U9VL-J for
longer service life between battery changes.
