CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless
gas. It is a by-product of the burning of fossil fuels
(gasoline, Propane, diesel fuel, etc.). The chassis
and generator engines, furnaces , water heater,
Propane refrigerator and range in your motor home
produce it constantly while they are operating.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY. Please
read and understand the following precautions
to protect yourself and others from the effects of
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Beware of the symptoms of exhaust gas (carbon
monoxide) poisoning:
Dizziness
Vomiting
Nausea
Muscular twitching
Intense headache
Throbbing in temples
Weakness and sleepiness
Inability to think clearly
If you or others experience any of these
symptoms, get out into fresh air immediately.
If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Shut down the unit and do not operate it until
it has been inspected and repaired.
Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm
Your motor home is equipped with a carbon
monoxide (CO) detector/alarm.
If the detector/alarm sounds, it is an indication that
unacceptable levels of carbon monoxide gas are
present. This may occur in traffic concentrations
or in campgrounds where other vehicles as well
as your motor home are contributing to the carbon
monoxide level in the surrounding air. Sounding
of the detector/alarm does not indicate a faulty
detector/alarm. The detector/alarm is doing its job
of warning you of potentially high concentrations
of carbon monoxide.
Test the CO detector/alarm after the motor
home has been in storage, before each trip,
and at least once a week during use. Please
refer to the materials included in your Owner’s
Information Package.

WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly. Do not block the tail-
pipes, or exhaust ports, or situate the vehicle in a
place where the exhaust gases have any possibil-
ity of accumulating either outside, underneath, or
inside your vehicle or any nearby vehicles. Outside
air movements can carry exhaust gases inside the
vehicle through windows or other openings remote
from the exhaust outlet. Operate the engine(s), car-
bon mon oxide-producing systems or components
only when safe dispersion of exhaust gases can be
assured. Monitor outside conditions to be sure that
exhaust continues to be dispersed safely.
!
WARNING
Do not under any circumstances operate any engine
or the cooking stove or range while sleeping. You
would not be able to monitor outsider conditions to
assure that engine exhaust does not enter the inte-
rior, and you would not be alert to exhaust odors or
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
!
WARNING
When operating the on-board generator for electrical
power and using the overhead vent fan, regardless of
outside temperature, open a window “slightly”. This
will reduce the chances of drawing harmful Carbon
Monoxide into the passenger compartment.
