as they may damage the alarm. Do not paint the smoke alarm. Refer to the manufacturer's
use guide for detailed maintenance information.
Combination Carbon Monoxide /Propane Alarm
Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide (CO) / propane
alarm that is listed for use in recreation vehicles. The combination carbon monoxide/pro-
pane alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained.
The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary
indoor locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or
industrial standards.
Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices
that provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentra-
tions under 30 PPM.
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the
sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
The ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic carbon mon-
oxide fumes rests solely on you. Installing a carbon monoxide/propane
alarm is just the first step in protecting your family from toxic carbon
monoxide poisoning. The following symptoms are related to carbon
monoxide poisoning and should be discussed with all members of the
household:
Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often de-
scribed as "flu-like" symptoms).
Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headaches, drowsiness, confu-
sion, fast heart rate.
Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory
failure, death.
