SECTION 2
TOWABLE OCCUPANT SAFETY
Maintenance
Gently vacuum off any dust on the cover of
the smoke alarm with your vacuum’s soft
brush attachment. Test the smoke alarm
once you have vacuumed. Never use water,
cleaners or solvents to clean the smoke alarm
as they may damage the smoke alarm. Do
not paint the smoke detector. For information
on how to maintain your smoke detector, refer
to the smoke detector user’s manual provided
in the Warranty Packet.
Battery
The smoke alarm will not function if the
battery is missing, disconnected, dead, the
wrong type of battery is used or the battery is
not installed correctly. The smoke detector
requires one standard 9V battery.
When the battery becomes weak, the smoke
alarm will “beep” about once a minute (the
low battery warning). The low battery warning
should last for 30 days, but you should
replace the battery immediately to continue
your protection.
When the battery is removed from the alarm,
the battery flag in the compartment will pop
up; therefore, the alarm cannot be installed to
the mounting bracket without a battery.
Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested
battery life, you MUST replace the battery
once the smoke alarm starts “beeping” (the
low battery warning).
Test the smoke alarm operation after the
vehicle has been has been in storage,
before each trip and at least once per
week during use. Do not disconnect the
battery or the alarm.
For information on the correct battery and
battery installation for your smoke detector,
refer to the smoke detector user’s manual
provided in the Warranty Packet.
Replacement
Smoke alarms have a limited life and are not
foolproof. Smoke alarms will wear out over
time like any appliance. Always replace the
detector immediately if it is not working
properly, it displays any type of problem, or
within five years of use. Refer to the smoke
detector manufacturer’s information in your
Warranty Packet for additional information.

LARM
Your RV is equipped with a combination
carbon monoxide (CO)/propane alarm that is
listed for use in recreation vehicles. The
combination carbon monoxide/ propane alarm
will only work if it is operational and
maintained. The alarm is wired directly to the
RV 12-volt electrical system, with continual
power being supplied by the RV battery.
There is no 9-volt battery power supply in the
carbon monoxide/propane alarm. If the
battery cable is disconnected at the battery
terminals, the combination alarm will not work.
Be sure to read, understand and follow the
owner’s information from the manufacturer of
the combination CO/propane alarm that has
been supplied in your Warranty Packet. This
includes information regarding the limited life
of the alarm.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison.
It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide
poisoning indicate while victims are aware
they are not feeling well, they become so
disoriented they are unable to save
themselves by either exiting the vehicle or
calling for assistance. Young children and
household pets may be the first affected.
Only use the replacement battery
recommended by the smoke detector
manufacturer. The smoke detector alarm
may not operate properly with other
batteries. Never use a rechargeable
battery as it may not provide a constant
charge. Never disconnect the battery to
silence the alarm.
