CO/LP GAS DETECTOR CONTINUED
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas, derived from products of combustion of
diesel fuel, propane (LP) gas and other petroleum based products, is a deadly gas
which can kill motorhome occupants if allowed to accumulate in sufficient
concentration.
Assure that all engine operations are not restricted, tailpipes and exhaust ports should
not be blocked or restricted in any way. Additionally, any accumulation of exhaust
gases outside or underneath the motorhome should be avoided as such may enter the
motorhome through windows or vents.
Be extremely careful as to how and where the motorhome is parked to avoid such
conditions. Regularly monitor outside conditions to assure that all exhaust gases can
readily be dissipated and not enter the motorhome inadvertently.
DANGER:
Never sleep in a motorhome when the engine is running as exhaust
fumes could enter the motorhome and cause illness, disability or death.
Regularly check the exhaust system to note any leakage sites. If found, discontinue
use of the motorhome until the leaks are repaired by a certified and qualified service
technician.
Do not attempt repairs on the exhaust system yourself and do not modify
(temporarily or permanently) the exhaust system at all.
FIRE SAFETY
As with any enclosed system containing the three required conditions for fire (i.e., combustible
materials, oxygen and ignition sources), there will exist the possibility of fire.
Tiffin Motorhomes has taken every precaution and design practice to minimize or negate this
possibility, but the final determination rests with the owner and user(s) of the motorhome.
Accordingly, it is in the best interest of the owner(s), user(s) and their guests to be aware of basic
fire safety practices, procedures and especially those particular features that Tiffin Motorhomes
has provided for fire safety.
