Basic Generator Safety Information - Airstream INTERSTATE X 2024 Owner's Manual

Safety
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.
WARNING
The regulator vent must face downward. Vent
blockage 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�
WARNING
Check vent each time tank is filled to make sure
it is clear of obstructions. Do not attempt to seal
the regulator cover.
WARNING
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�
DANGER
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
between the rear axles.
