If You Smell Gas; Basic Generator Safety Information - Airstream INTERSTATE 24 2024 Owner's Manual

Safety

If you smell gas

• Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all
smoking materials�
• Do not touch electrical switches�
• Shut off the gas supply using the remote shut off
switch�
• Open doors and other ventilating openings�
• Leave the area until odor clears�
• Have the gas system checked and leakage source
corrected before using again�
LP gas regulators must always be installed with the
diaphragm vent facing downward� Regulators that
are not in compartments have been equipped with a
protective cover� Make sure that regulator vent faces
downward and that cover is kept in place to minimize
vent blockage that could result in excessive gas
pressure causing a fire or explosion.
The regulator at the LP tank is under a gray, plastic
cover� The protective cover helps to keep the vent on
the regulator from being clogged by wasps or ice, but
the regulator should be checked regularly to make sure
the vent remains clear�
Do not attempt to seal regulator cover.
Check vent each time tank is filled to make sure it
is clear of obstructions.
Have a qualified technician check your LP Gas
system annually or if you have any signs of leaks
or malfunctions.

Basic Generator Safety Information

1� Never sleep in the vehicle with the generator
running without ensuring the carbon monoxide
detector is working� Primary protection against
inhaling carbon monoxide is daily (every eight
hour) inspection for visible and audible generator
exhaust system leaks�
2� DO NOT operate the generator in an enclosed
building or in a partly enclosed area such as a
garage�
3� Review the safety precautions for fuel and exhaust
fumes in the generator manual�
4� DO NOT operate the generator when the
recreation vehicle is parked in high grass or brush�
Heat from the exhaust could cause a fire in dry
conditions�
5� DO NOT simultaneously operate generator and a
ventilator which could result in the entry of exhaust
gas� When exhaust ventilators are used, we
recommend that a window on the opposite side of
the unit "upwind" of exhaust gases be opened to
provide cross ventilation�
6� When parked, orient the vehicle so that the wind
will carry the exhaust away from the vehicle� DO
NOT open nearby windows, ventilators, or doors
into the passenger compartment, particularly those
which can be "down wind", even part of the time�
7� DO NOT operate the generator when parked in
close proximity to vegetation, snow, buildings,
vehicles, or any other object that could deflect the
exhaust under or into the vehicle�
8� DO NOT touch the generator when running,
or immediately after shutting off� Heat from the
generator can cause burns� Allow the generator to
cool before attempting maintenance or service�
Your Touring Coach is equipped with an Automatic
Generator Start System. Exposure to carbon
monoxide, moving parts, and electricity hazards
are possible due to unexpected automatic starting.
NOTE
The generator is located under the touring coach.
