operating temperatures are high . As a result, the
engine, transmission and exhaust systems radi-
ate heat .
Heat shields are built into your motor home to
protect wiring and other components from pos-
sible heat damage caused by the exhaust system .
Do not remove these shields, modify the exhaust
system, or add additional equipment, such as
wiring, plumbing, or other components, which
may be effected by exhaust system heat .
engIne temperature gauges
Engine temperature gauges typically have been
calibrated to indicate a midrange reading as the
“normal” operating temperature . As a motor
home owner, be aware that the gauge is intended
to provide a warning of any rapid change in
engine coolant temperature from the “normal”
reading of the gauge rather than an absolute
temperature reading .
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 chas-
sis and generator engines, furnaces , water heater,
Propane refrigerator and range in your motor
home produce it constantly while they are operat-
ing . CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY . Please
read and understand the following precautions to
protect yourself and others from the effects of car-
bon 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
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
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
Important health notIce
some of the building materials used in this recre-
ation vehicle emit formaldehyde. eye, nose, and
throat irritation, headache, nausea, and a variety
of asthma-like symptoms, including shortness of
breath, have been reported as a result of formal-
dehyde exposure, elderly persons and young chil-
dren, as well as anyone with a history of asthma,
allergies, or lung problems, may be at greater risk,
research is continuing on the possible long-term
effects of exposure to formaldehyde.
reduced ventilation may allow formaldehyde and
other contaminants to accumulate in the indoor
air. dilution of indoor contaminants may be
obtained by ventilating the motor home by open-
ing vents, windows, and doors as well as by oper-
ating air conditioning, if available.
high indoor temperatures and humidity raise
formaldehyde levels, when a motor home is to be
located in areas subject to extreme summer tem-
peratures, an air-conditioning system can be used
to control indoor temperature levels.
If you have any questions regarding the health
effects of formaldehyde, consult your doctor or
local health department.
