The carbon monoxide/propane (CO/LP) combination
alarm installed is intended for use in ordinary indoor
locations of recreation vehicles.

Actuation of this alarm indicates the presence of
carbon monoxide, which is a toxic gas that is colorless
and odorless.

Do not disconnect the combination carbon monoxide/
propane alarm from its power source.

Individuals with medical problems may consider using
warning devices that provide audible and visual signals
for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 PPM.

This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas
may be present in other areas.

WARNING

THE CO/LP COMBINATION DETECTOR OPERATES ON
12 VOLT HOUSE POWER; IT DOES NOT CONTAIN AN
INTERNAL BACK-UP BATTERY. IT WILL BE DISABLED
WHEN HOUSE BATTERIES ARE DISCONNECTED,
OR SHORE POWER IS REMOVED, OR IF THE HOUSE
BATTERY VOLTAGE DROPS BELOW THE OPERATING
THRESHOLD VOLTAGE OF THE DETECTOR!

WARNING

Combination Carbon Monoxide/
Propane Alarm

Your motorhome is

equipped with a combi-

nation carbon monoxide/

propane alarm that is listed

for use in recreation vehicles.

The combination carbon

monoxide/propane alarm

will only provide its intended

protection if it is maintained

in operational condition.

The combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm is wired

directly to the motorhome's 12 volt DC electrical system, with

continuous power being supplied by the auxiliary battery. There

is not a built-in back-up battery in the combination carbon mon-

oxide/propane alarm. If the auxiliary battery cable is disconnected

at the battery terminals, the combination carbon monoxide/pro-

pane alarm will not be powered, and therefore, will not function.

This alarm is designed to detect toxic carbon monoxide gas

that results from incomplete combustion, such as emitted

from appliances, furnaces, and auto exhaust, along with pro-

pane gas that may be present. A carbon monoxide/propane

alarm is

NOT A SUBSTITUTE

for other combustible gas,

fire or smoke detection alarms. Please note that there are

Typical combination carbon
monoxide/propane alarm

hazards against which carbon monoxide detection may not be

effective, such as detection of natural gas and other harmful

substances.

Although this alarm is designed to sense the presence of carbon

monoxide/propane gas, 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,

wine, liquor, most cleaning agents, and the propellants of aero-

sol cans. Be sure to read, understand, and follow the owner’s

information from the manufacturer of the combination carbon

monoxide/propane alarm. This includes information regarding

the limited service life of the alarm.

What to do if the Alarm Sounds

1. Operate the RESET/SILENCE button.
2. Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors, or by an open

door or window).

3. Call emergency services (911 in the United States or a local

fire department).

4. Do not re-enter the motorhome or move away from the open

door or window until the emergency service responders have

arrived, the motorhome has been aired out, and the alarm re-

mains in its normal (OFF) condition.

If the alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps

1-4 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate

for sources of carbon monoxide and/or propane gas and

inspect for proper operation of this equipment. Make sure

that motorized vehicle(s) are not, and have not been operating

adjacent to the motorhome and that the motorhome has not

been operating in an enclosed space.

Have all identified problems corrected immediately. Note

equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the

manufacturer’s instructions or contact the manufacturer

directly for more information about carbon monoxide safety

and this alarm.

Test

Test the combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm
after the motorhome has been in storage, before each
trip, and at least once per week during motorhome use.

Failure to do so can result in an undetected faulty CO/
LP alarm, which could lead to death or serious injury.
