Carbon Monoxide Alarm - Winnebago Minnie Winnie 2015 Owner's Manual

SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT use an
open flame to test for gas leaks. When
testing for gas line leaks with a soapy
water solution, DO NOT use a detergent
containing ammonia or chlorine. These
substances may generate a chemical
reaction causing corrosion to gas lines,
resulting in dangerous leak conditions.
Death or serious injury can result.
Power Connection
The Propane Gas Leak Detector is powered by
the house batteries. If the House/Coach Battery
Disconnect switch is shut off or the battery cable
is disconnected from the batteries, the alarm will
not work. The Propane Gas Leak Detector fuse or
circuit breaker is located in the 12-volt house
electrical load center.
Because the Propane Gas Leak Detector is
connected to the house battery, it is always
drawing a small amount of current. Even though
this current draw is slight, it could drain the house
battery during storage periods when the house
battery will not be charged regularly by the
engine or shoreline.
Replacement
When replacing this alarm, we recommend
replacing only with the same model, or with one
that is also listed for RV application. We
recommend obtaining a replacement from your

CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM

Your coach is equipped with a Carbon
Monoxide (CO) Alarm, which is located on the
ceiling or wall in the bedroom area.
The CO Alarm in your coach may either be
powered by a 9-volt battery or 12-volt coach
power (depending on model), and has a sensor
that is designed to detect toxic carbon monoxide
gas fumes resulting from incomplete combustion
of fuel. It will detect CO gas from any
combustion source, such as the furnace, gas
range/oven, water heater, refrigerator, chassis
engine, and electric generator engine.
To reduce the risk of carbon monoxide
poisoning, test this alarms operation after the
coach has been in storage, before each trip, and at
least once per week during use by pressing the
Test/Reset button on the alarm.
