SAFETY
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING RECOMMENDED
PRACTICES
The following practices are recom-
mended to assure continued safety
and reliability of the LP gas system.
These are, of course, representative;
not necessarily exhaustive. In all
cases, use common sense in the use
of the LP system.
• Visually inspect the LP fill valve
before any refueling operation to
look for foreign materials or debris;
remove, as necessary, to assure a
leak-tight connection.
• Prior to any refueling operation
of the LP gas system, shut off all the
pilot lights.
• NEVER, under any circumstanc-
es, check for LP gas leaks with any
type of open flame; doing so would
probably cause an explosion and
subsequent fire.
• Periodically inspect visually the
entire LP gas distribution system;
do so at least annually and before
any major trips.
Should problems be noted, seek the
services of a qualified service tech-
nician to make necessary repairs
and perform any maintenance.
A properly maintained engine exhaust and ventilation sys-
tem is the best way to protect against carbon monoxide’s
entry into the vehicle. We recommend that the exhaust
system and body be inspected by a qualified motorhome
service center:
• Each time the vehicle is serviced for an oil change.
• Whenever a change in the sound of the exhaust system is
noticed.
• Whenever the exhaust system, underbody, or rear of the
vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle’s ventilation sys-
tem, keep front ventilation inlet grill clear of obstructions
at all times.
Do not occupy a parked vehicle with engine running for
an extended time and do not run engine in confined areas,
such as a garage.
Your motorhome is equipped with a Carbon Monoxide
alarm, which has a sensor that is designed to detect carbon
monoxide gas fumes resulting from incomplete combus-
tion of fuel.
It will detect carbon monoxide gas from any combustion
source such as from the furnace, oven/range, water heater,
refrigerator, chassis engine and generator engine.
WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they con-
tain carbon monoxide, which is a colorless,
odorless and poisonous gas. Serious illness,
injury or death can result.
