Safety
Test Units in your touring coach after the vehicle
has been in storage, before each trip, and at least
once a week while in use. If the alarm ever fails to
test correctly, have it replaced immediately. If the
alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you
to a problem. Failure to test units used in RVs as
described may remove your protection.
Regular Maintenance of Smoke/CO Detector
The Smoke/CO detector has been designed to be
as maintenance-free as possible, but there are a few
simple things you must do to keep it working properly�
Use replacement batteries as indicated in the manual
included with the device and provided to you in the
Airstream owner's packet� The unit may not operate
properly with other batteries� Never use rechargeable
batteries since they may not provide a constant charge�
Testing the Smoke/CO Detector
PRESS and HOLD the TEST/SILENCE button 3-5
seconds until the unit starts to alarm� During testing,
you will see and hear the following sequence:
•
The Horn will sound 3 BEEPS, pause, 3 BEEPS�
The Power/Smoke LED flashes Red and the CO
LED will be Off�
•
Next the Horn will sound 4 BEEPS, pause, 4
BEEPS� The Power/Smoke LED will be Off and the
CO LED flashes Red.
•
Test it at least once a week�
•
Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least once a month:
gently vacuum the outside of the alarm using
your household vacuum's soft brush attachment�
A can of clean, compressed air (sold at computer
or office supply stores) may also be used. Follow
manufacturer instructions for use� Never use water,
cleaners, or solvents, since they may damage the
unit�
•
If the alarm becomes contaminated by excessive
dirt, dust, and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned
to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit
immediately�
The battery door will resist closing unless batteries
are installed. This warns you that the unit will not
operate without batteries.

WARNING
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause
confusion, unconsciousness, and death. Follow
all instructions, cautions, and warnings in this
section.
NEVER ignore alarms. Failure to respond can
result in injury or death. The Silence Features are
for convenience only and will not correct problems.
Always check for a potential problem after any
alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
Diesel Exhaust
The touring coach engine and hydronic heating/hot
water system run on diesel fuel and expel exhaust
fumes externally� To avoid unsafe conditions or
exposure to fumes and safely run the engine and
hydronic system:
1� DO NOT run the engine or hydronic heating/hot
water system in an enclosed building or a partly
enclosed area such as a garage�
2� DO NOT operate the engine or hydronic heating/
hot water system when parked close to objects that
could block the exhaust and force fumes inside;
examples include thick vegetation, snow, buildings,
and other vehicles�
3� DO NOT operate the engine or hydronic heating/
hot water system when parking the vehicle in high
grass or brush� The heat from exhaust system
components could cause a fire in dry conditions.
4� DO NOT touch any part of either exhaust system
when the engine or hydronic heating/hot water
system is running or immediately after shutting
off� The heat coming off exhaust systems can
cause burns� Allow the exhaust(s) to cool before
attempting maintenance or service�
Exposure to diesel exhaust fumes may cause
headaches, nausea, chest tightness, wheezing,
cough, and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat.
Hot exhaust system components can cause burns
if touched, even briefly.
