SAFETY
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
A properly maintained engine exhaust and ventilation system is the best way to protect against carbon
monoxide’s entry into the vehicle. We recommend that the exhaust system and body be inspected by a
qualified motorhome service center:
 Each time the vehicle is serviced for an oil change.
 Whenever a change in the sound of the exhaust system is noticed.

Whenever the exhaust system, underbody, or rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle’s ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet grill clear of
obstructions at all times. Do not occupy a parked vehicle with engine running for an extended time and
do not run engine in confined areas, such as a garage.
Your motorhome is equipped with a Carbon Monoxide alarm,
which has a sensor that is designed to detect carbon
monoxide gas fumes resulting from incomplete combustion
of fuel. It will detect carbon monoxide gas from any
combustion source such as from the furnace, oven/ range,
water heater, refrigerator, chassis engine and generator
engine.
CO/LP GAS DETECTOR
Figure 2-5: Carbon Monoxide alarm
Since LP gas is denser than air, the LP gas will naturally settle to the lowest point in an enclosed
space. In the motorhome, this would be the floor.
Because of this, the CO/LP gas detector (Figure 2-5) is necessarily mounted close to the floor. To
activate the CO/LP-gas sensor on this detector for the first time, remove the sensor activation
strip, if such was not performed during the pre-delivery inspection.
If the alarm persists in re-arming and giving further alarms, ventilate the motorhome by opening
doors and windows and then check for possible LP gas leaks. If the leak cannot be readily found,
