Conditions That Can Result In Potentially Dangerous Co Situations; Symptoms Of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning; Regular Maintenance Of Smoke/Co Detector; Testing The Smoke/Co Detector - Airstream INTERSTATE 24 TommyBahama Owner's Manual

Conditions that 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

• 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 CO can cause
brain damage and/or death�
The Smoke/CO detector is shipped with batteries
deactivated. Ask your dealer to activate batteries
or activate batteries immediately upon delivery.
Failure to follow this warning will remove your
protection.
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 area or calling for assistance. Also
young children and pets may be the first to be
affected.
