SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-6
·
Each time the vehicle is raised for an oil
change.
·
Whenever a change in the sound of the ex-
haust system is noticed.
·
Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or
rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle’s
ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet
grill clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at
all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED VE-
HICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD.
Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a
garage, except to move vehicle in or out of area.
When vehicle is stopped in an UNCONFINED
area with the engine running for any more than a
short period, adjust heating or cooling system to
force outside air into the vehicle as follows:
1. Set fan to medium or high speed and vent
control to air.
2. On vehicles equipped with air conditioning,
set fan to medium or high speed and set con-
trol to obtain maximum vent air.
Rear bedroom windows should be closed
while driving to avoid drawing dangerous ex-
haust gases into the vehicle.
CARBON MONOXIDE
ALARM
If your coach is equipped with a carbon mon-
oxide (CO) alarm, it will be located on the ceiling
in the bedroom area.
The CO alarm is powered by a 9-volt battery
and contains a sensor that is designed to detect
toxic carbon monoxide gas fumes resulting from
incomplete combustion of fuel. It will detect CO
gas from any combustion source such as the fur-
nace, gas range/oven, water heater, refrigerator,
chassis engine, and electric generator engine.
Monthly Testing
Press the TEST button on the face of the alarm
periodically (at least monthly) to check the func-
tion of the alarm and condition of the battery. If
the alarm begins to beep every few seconds, the
battery may be weak and need replacement.
(Press the TEST button to be sure before replac-
ing the battery. If the alarm sounds, the battery
may still be okay. If the alarm still beeps every
few seconds, check the smoke detector also. The
“low battery” warning beep is similar on many
alarm devices, so the origin of this electronic
sound can be deceiving.)
Further Information
Please read the information provided by the
manufacturer, which is included in your Info-
Case. It includes information on precautions, op-
erational testing, and battery/sensor replacement.
EMERGENCY EXITS
Emergency Exit Windows
Your motor home is equipped with an emer-
gency exit window in the bedroom of the coach
that functions as an escape exit in an emergency
situation.
Side Escape Window
The side mounted escape window is secured
by two red safety latches and can be opened by
first releasing these two latches and then pushing
outward on the lower part of the window. Identi-
fy which type of emergency exit window is in
your vehicle.
Instructions for removal are also located near
the latches for quick reference and for passengers
who may not be familiar with the exit. Never re-
move or destroy this label.
