Dangerous Co Situations; Symptoms Of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning; Liquid Propane Gas (Lpg) Detector; Low Voltage - Airstream Sport 2017 Owner's Manual

The following conditions can result in potentially

dangerous CO situations

1� Excessive spillage or reverse-venting of fuel-
burning appliances caused by outdoor conditions,
such as:
• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high
gusts of wind�
• Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with
extended periods between cycles)�
• Negative pressure differential resulting from use
of exhaust fans�
• Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning
appliances competing for limited internal air�
• Vent-pipe connections vibrating loose from
clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters�
• Obstructions in or unconventional vent-pipe
designs which can amplify the above situations�
2� Extended use of un-vented fuel burning devices�
3� Temperature increase that can trap exhaust gases
near the ground�

Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

The following symptoms are related to CO
POISONING:
• Mild Exposure - Slight headache, nausea, vomiting,
fatigue (flu-like symptoms).
• Medium Exposure - Throbbing headache, drowsiness,
confusion, fast heart rate�
• Extreme Exposure - Convulsions, unconsciousness,
heart and lung failure� Exposure to carbon monoxide
can cause brain damage and/or death�
Many causes of reported CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING indicate that while victims are aware
that they are not well, they become so disoriented
that they are unable to save themselves by either
exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also
young children and pets may be the first to be
affected.
Test units used in RVs after the vehicle has been in
storage, before each trip, and once a week while in
use. Failure to test units used in RV's as described
may remove your protection.

WARNING
WARNING

Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) Detector

This alarm has a seven year life; see end-of-life
notification in LPG detector manual. Please read entire
detector manual before operating unit�
The LPG detector is located in the kitchen area� LPG
is a mixture of gases produced and sold commercially
as a fuel for heating and cooking appliances� LPG is
highly flammable and, as a result, can be explosive
if ignited under certain circumstances� LPG is
heavier than air and, if confined in a closed space,
will accumulate close to the floor. The LPG detector
is designed to alarm at less than 25% of the legal
explosive limit� It will provide a visual and audible alarm
by sounding an alarm every 5 seconds and illuminating
the red LED�
Your LPG detector is wired directly to your trailer
battery and incorporates a 1-amp, in-line fuse� It has no
internal battery backup� In normal stand-by mode, the
LED indicator will be green�

Low Voltage

The operating voltage for the detector is 12 VDC� The
actual voltage supplied to the detector in a recreational
vehicle may drop below the minimum 8 VDC� The
detector provides the user with a low voltage warning
before reaching that level and will provide additional
distinct, clear warnings and alarms after the 8 VDC
level is reached� However, if available power supplied
to the unit is below the operating voltage of 8 VDC,
the detector will not detect gas or provide protection
against dangerous levels of LPG�
