Regular Maintenance

The units have been designed to be as maintenance-
free as possible, but there are a few simple things
you must do to keep them working properly� Use only
the replacement batteries listed below� The units may
not operate properly with other batteries� Never use
rechargeable batteries since they may not provide a
constant charge�
• Test it at least once a week�
• Clean the Smoke and CO Alarms at least once a
month: gently vacuum the outside of the Smoke
and CO Alarms 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� Test the Smoke and CO Alarms once a week�
Never use water, cleaners, or solvents, since they
may damage the unit�
• If the Smoke and CO Alarms becomes
contaminated by excessive dirt, dust, and/or grime,
and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms,
replace the unit immediately�
• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted
alarms�
The battery door will resist closing unless batteries
are installed. This warns you that the unit will not
operate without batteries.

WARNING

Basic 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�
