SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
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
