CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
Your recreational vehicle is equipped with a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm. This alarm is designed to operate when detecting
CO at the alarm. This detector will not detect propane gas or other gases.
Common sources of CO include malfunctioning or misuse of gas appliances, operation of generators at or near your RV.
The following maintenance procedures must be performed routinely:
1. TEST the CO alarm weekly and before each trip by pressing the “test” button.
2. Clean dust from the detector using a vacuum with soft brush attachment.
Carbon Monoxide Detector tips
•
Read the carbon monoxide detectors owners manual which has been supplied with your Recreational Vehicle.
•
Avoid use of hair spray, paint, nail polish, and aerosols, near the detector.
•
Do not paint the detector.
•
Do not place a diaper pail near the detector.
•
Inform children and occupants of the dangers involved with CO poisoning.
Indications of CO poisoning include, but are not limited to:
Mild Exposure
•
Symptoms of the flu (minus a fever)
•
Slight headache
•
Dizziness
•
Fatigue
Medium Exposure
•
Severe throbbing headache
•
Drowsiness
•
Confusion
•
Fast heart rate
Extreme Exposure

Death
Carbon Monoxide can be fatal. If the alarm sounds, provide ventilation by opening the entry door,
windows, and roof vents, then immediately exit the RV until such time the alarm no longer sounds
and the RV has been inspected and approved by a qualified inspector. Failure to exit the RV may
result in serious injury or death.
The Carbon Monoxide detector is powered from the deep cycle 12-volt battery and/or the 120-volt shore power cord. The
detector will not function unless the RV is supplied with power from either the shore cord or a known quality 12-volt battery.
Battery voltage below 10 volts will prevent proper operation of the Carbon Monoxide detector. Consult the Carbon
Monoxide detector owner’s manual for specific operational information regarding the detector located in your RV.
Never run an engine and/or generator unless you are certain the exhaust gases are safely dispersed into the atmosphere. Do
not sleep in the RV while your generator is running or when a generator is running in close proximity to your RV. Always be
certain that exhaust pipes are unobstructed and windows near any exhaust source are closed.
Prior to each trip, inspect the exterior venting of your furnace and water heater to insure the exhaust ports remain
unobstructed.
