SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

Further Information

your InfoCase for further instructions.

CARBON MONOXIDE 

WARNING

The best protection against carbon monoxide 

entry into the vehicle body is a properly 
maintained engine exhaust and ventilation 
system. It is recommended 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 snow, leaves, or other obstructions 
at all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED 
VEHICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR 
AN EXTENDED PERIOD.

Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a 

garage, except to move vehicle into or out of the 
area.

CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM

Your motorhome is equipped with a Carbon 

Monoxide (CO) Alarm, which has a sensor that is 
designed to detect toxic carbon monoxide gas 
fumes resulting from incomplete combustion of 
fuel. It will detect CO gas from any combustion 

source such as the furnace, gas range/oven, water 
heater, refrigerator, chassis engine, and electric 
generator engine.

To reduce the risk of carbon monoxide 

poisoning, test this alarms operation after the 
motorhome has been in storage, before each trip, 
and at least once per week during use by pressing 
the Test/Reset button on the alarm.

Replacement

When replacing this alarm, we recommend 

replacing only with the same model, or with one 
that is also listed for RV application. We 
recommend obtaining a replacement from your 
Winnebago Industries

®

 dealer.

Further Information

Please read the information provided by the 

manufacturer, which is included in your InfoCase 
for further information.

WARNING

Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they 
contain carbon monoxide, which is a 
colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. 
Death or serious injury can result.

WARNING

Failure to replace this product by the 
“REPLACE BY DATE” printed on the 
alarm cover may result in death by 
Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
