CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Exhaust gas is deadly! It contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can
cause unconsciousness and death. It is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas formed
during combustion of fuel in either the motorhome or generator engines.
WARNING: Never sleep while the engine is running. It is impossible to know if you are
being affected by carbon monoxide gas while asleep.
Be aware of carbon monoxide poisoning and its symptoms:
1.
Dizziness
4.
Weakness and Sleepiness
2. Severe Headache 5 . Muscular Twitching
3. Vomiting 6. Throbbing in Temples
If anyone in the recreational vehicle experiences any of these symptoms, shut off the engine, and immediately
go outside into fresh air. Get medical attention as soon as possible.
Never run the engine unless you are sure that exhaust gases will be safely dispersed into the atmosphere.
Always be sure that tail pipes remain unblocked and windows near the exhaust are closed.
DO NOT alter or modify any component of the exhaust system at any time. Inspect the exhaust system at
regular intervals for damage. If you suspect or locate damage to the system, have it repaired immediately.
SMOKE DETECTOR
An ionization detector offers a broad range of fire sensing capabilities. However, they do possess limitations.
Fire could start in a location that would prevent smoke from reaching the detector. They are also better at
detecting fast flaming fires than the slow smoldering variety. They are also not a cure for poor fire safety habits.
Smoke detectors need occasional maintenance for reliable service. A smoke detector is designed to be
relatively maintenance free, but there are three things you can do to keep a detector in reliable working order:
1. TEST IT- at least once a week by firmly pressing the button located near the center of the cover. The
alarm should sound briefly. If it does not work, replace the battery and test again.
2. CLEAN- the detector if grease or dust accumulates. The following procedure should be followed once
a year.
a.
Remove the cover and battery
b.
Clean dust from sensing chamber openings with a vacuum and soft brush attachment
c.
Replace the battery and depress the test switch. The alarm should sound briefly. If it does not
work, try a new battery.
3. SERVICE - the detector if it does not work by sending it to the manufacture or their repair center. DO
NOT attempt to make the repairs yourself (other than battery replacement).
NOTE:
When the battery is low, the detector will make a “chirping” noise for seven days to remind you to
change it.
