Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain
carbon monoxide, which is a potentially toxic
gas that is colorless and odorless.
•
Do not run the tow vehicle engine,
generator, etc., in confined areas, such as
a closed garage.
•
Windows should be closed while driving or
running the generator to avoid drawing
dangerous exhaust gases into the RV.
•
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the RV have the cause
determined and corrected immediately.
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the RV is a properly maintained
ventilation system and an active carbon
monoxide alarm. To allow for proper
operation of the RV ventilation system, keep
the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of snow,
leaves or other obstructions at all times.

For your safety protection, a new RV that
contains a propane gas system with propane
consuming appliances must have a propane
leak detection device. Generally speaking the
chemical composition of propane is heavier
than air, which is why the propane alarm is
located near the floor of the RV.
Fig. 2.5 Typical propane alarm
Your RV propane alarm is powered by 12-volt
DC through the converter when plugged into
shoreline power (or from a fully charged,
working auxiliary battery when dry camping).
A lit LED indicates when the factory-installed
alarm is active.
•
This propane alarm is continuolsy drawing
a small amount of 12-volt current.
Although this current draw is slight, it
could drain your auxiliary battery during
extended storage periods.
•
If the auxiliary battery becomes extremely
drained, the LED light on the face of the
alarm will not light or the alarm may begin
to sound on its own.
•
This condition is not likely to occur except
during storage situations.
This alarm is designed to sense the presence
of propane gas; however, there are other
combustible fumes or vapors that may be
detected by the sensor including (but not
limited to) acetone, alcohol, butane and
gasoline.
•
These chemicals can be found in
commonly used items such as
deodorants, colognes, perfumes,
adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, glues,
wine, liquor, most cleaning agents and the
propellants of aerosol cans.
•
High temperatures can activate glue and
adhesive vapors. If you close up your RV
on a hot day, the chemicals used in its
construction may be detected for months
after the vehicle was constructed (see
Formaldehyde).
The alarm cannot detect propane or sound
a warning for two minutes after it has been
turned on. The propane leak alarm is not a
smoke or fire alarm. The alarm will only
indicate the presence of propane gas at
the sensor. Explosive gas may be present
in other areas.
The propane alarm should never be
disabled because of nuisance or low
battery alarms. If the auxiliary battery cable
is disconnected, and other 12-volt power is
not available, the propane alarm will not
work and you will not be warned if leaking
propane is present.
