be inspected by a qualified motor home 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
area.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
Your coach is equipped with a carbon monox-
ide (CO) alarm located on the ceiling in the bed-
room area. The CO alarm is powered by a 9-volt
battery and 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 fur-
nace, gas range/oven, water heater, refrigerator,
chassis engine, and electric generator engine.
Monthly Testing
Press the TEST button on the face of the alarm
at least monthly to check the function of the
alarm and condition of the battery. If the alarm
begins to beep every few seconds, the battery
may be weak and needs replacement. (Press the
TEST button to be sure before replacing the bat-
tery. If the alarm sounds, the battery may still be
okay. If the alarm still beeps every few seconds,
check the smoke detector also. The “low battery”
warning beep is similar on many alarm devices,
so the origin of this electronic sound can be de-
ceiving.)
Further Information
Please read the information provided by the
manufacturer, which is included in your Owner
InfoCase. It includes information on precautions,
operational testing, and battery/sensor replace-
ment.
