SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
To aid in dissipation, ventilate the vehicle by
opening all windows and circulating the air with
a fan.
CARBON MONOXIDE
WARNING
If your suspect that exhaust fumes are entering
the passenger compartment, have the cause deter-
mined and corrected as soon as possible. If you
must drive under these conditions, drive only
with ALL WINDOWS FULLY OPENED.
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly main-
tained engine exhaust and ventilation system. It is
recommended that the exhaust system and body
be inspected by a qualified motor home service
center.
·
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 windows should be closed while driving
to avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into
the vehicle.
CARBON MONOXIDE
ALARM
Your coach is equipped with a carbon monox-
ide (CO) alarm, located on the ceiling in the bed-
room area.
Some components in this vehicle con-
tain formaldehyde based adhesives
which may release formaldehyde
fumes into the air for an unknown
period of time until total dissipation
occurs. Individuals who are allergic
to formaldehyde gas fumes may
experience irritation to eyes, ears,
nose and throat. Reaction in infants
may be more severe. 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.
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
