CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
A properly maintained engine exhaust and ventilation system is the best way to protect against
carbon monoxide's entry into the motorhome. We recommend that the exhaust system and body
be inspected by a qualified motorhome service center at least but not limited to:
• Each time the motorhome 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 motorhome has been damaged.
To allow for proper operation of the motorhome's ventilation system, keep the front inlet grill
clear of obstructions at all times. Do not occupy a parked vehicle with the engine running for an
extended period of time and do not run the engine in confined areas, such as a garage.
Your motorhome is equipped with a Carbon Monoxide alarm (Figure 22.1), which has a sensor
that is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas fumes, resulting from incomplete combustion 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.
WARNING:
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain carbon monoxide, which is
colorless, odorless and a poisonous gas. Inhalation of this gas can cause serious illness,
injury or death.
CO/LP GAS DETECTOR
Since propane (LP) gas is denser than air, the
propane (LP) gas will naturally settle to the lowest
point in an enclosed space. In the motorhome, this
would be the floor.
Because of this, the CO/LP gas detector (Figure
22.1) is necessarily mounted close to the floor.
To activate the CO/LP gas sensor on this
detector for the first time, remove the sensor
activation strip, if this was not performed during
the pre-delivery inspection.
