Tiffin Motorhomes Allegro Bus 2016, Owner'S Manual

Page: 21 / 148

Your motorhome is designed to use diesel fuel
only.
• Anytime the motor fuel is to be
fi lled, the motorhome engine
is to be turned OFF and all pilot lights and
appliances should be turned OFF.
• A NO SMOKING policy should always be
observed when re fi lling the fuel tank.
• NEVER use any other “burning” equipment
(e.g., charcoal grills, wood stoves, butane lights,
propane lights) inside the motorhome. Doing so may cause fi res and/or asphyxiation.
SAFETY
14
WARNING
Any portable, fuel-burning equipment (e.g., charcoal, propane, butane, wood)
must not be used inside the motorhome. Any use of such equipment inside
the motorhome may readily cause fires and/or asphyxiation by carbon-monoxide poisoning.
Further, such unauthorized use would probably invalidate your motorhome insurance policy.
All pilot lights, appliances, and their ignitors
must be turned off before refueling of motor
fuel tanks or propane containers. A failure
to comply, could result in serious injury or
death.
DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
A properly maintained engine exhaust
and ventilation system is the best way
to protect against carbon monoxide’s
entry into the vehicle. We recommend
that the exhaust system and body be in-
spected by a quali fi ed motorhome ser-
vice 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, under-
body, or rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehi-
cle’s ventilation system, keep front ven-
tilation 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 con fi ned ar-
eas, such as a garage.
Your motorhome is
equipped with a Carbon
Monoxide alarm, which
has a sensor that is de-
signed to detect carbon
monoxide gas fumes re-
sulting from incomplete
combustion of fuel.
It will detect carbon
monoxide gas from any
combustion source such
as from the furnace, oven/
range, water heater, re-
frigerator, chassis engine and generator engine.

WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain carbon
monoxide, which is a colorless, odorless and poison-
ous gas. Serious illness, injury or death can result.
