2.4 ASPHYXIATION
1. Do not use portable fuel-burning equipment
including wood and charcoal grills and stoves
in the vehicle. The use of this equipment can
generate deadly carbon monoxide gas or cause
fi res.
2. Provide proper ventilation when using the gas
range or oven to prevent asphyxiation. Do not
use the oven or range to heat the vehicle. Long
term use of these appliances for space heating
increases the chance of asphyxiation. Before
using the range or oven:
a. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan,
and…
b. Open window.
3. Avoid breathing the exhaust fumes from a gas
or diesel engine and LP gas burner such as the
vehicle or generator engines and the range,
oven, refrigerator, furnace or water heater. Po-
sition the vehicle so the wind blows the engine
exhaust fumes away. Provide ventilation to the
inside of the vehicle for adequate air exchange
when appliances or furnaces are being used to
prevent a build-up of carbon monoxide. Be sure
all alarms are working.
4. Do not run vehicle or auxiliary generator engine
in a confi ned area such as a garage unless you
are just moving it out of the area.
5. Use vent or air conditioning fan to force fresh air
into the interior when vehicle is in an open area
with the engine running for more than just a short
time.
6. Maintain engine(s) exhaust system components
in top condition to prevent fumes from enter-
ing vehicle. Check when changing oil, when
exhaust sound changes or when underbody is
damaged.
2.5 FORMALDEHYDE
Formaldehyde based adhesives are used in some
components in this vehicle and may release small
amounts of formaldehyde fumes into the vehicle
for an unknown period of time until fully dissipated.
Some people who are allergic to the fumes may
experience irritation to the eyes, ears, nose and
throat. Small infants may have a more serious
reaction. Although long range effects are not well
understood, testing to date has not revealed any
serious health effects in humans at the level of
emission from these products. Reduce the effects
of the formaldehyde fumes by keeping the unit well
ventilated.
2.6 LP GAS LEAKS

to stove:
2. Use soapy water to check for leaks and watch
for bubbles. Do not use an open fl ame.
3. Correct or repair leak(s) before using appliances
or vehicle again.
