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 under-
stand 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 per-
sist, 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 mon-
oxide (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 detec-
tor/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.
EMERGENCY TOWING
The preferred emergency towing methods are either
an under reach wheel lift device or a flat bed trailer.
Most tow truck operators willing to tow motor homes
will be familiar with these devices. Be prepared to
give the tow truck operator at least the following
information when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
The vehicle must be towed from the front, either on
the rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy duty
dolly. Consult your Chassis Operator’s/
Owner’s Guide/Manual for any available instruc-
tions. Contact the chassis assistance center prior to
calling a tow company to receive
tow instructions and possible assistance with coor-
dinating the tow.

To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the
disabled vehicle, if any .
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
3. Turn off Propane appliances and the Propane
tank valve.
4. Do not allow any person to ride in the towed
vehicle.
WARNING
DO NOT
crawl under or place any part of your body
under a vehicle that is being lifted. Stand clear of all
towing equipment and the vehicle being lifted.
!
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear. Towing
from the rear will cause serious overloading of the
front tires and suspension, possibly resulting in tire or
front suspension failure. The rear frame extensions
are not designed to withstand the load imposed by
lifting from the rear.
