Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas. It is
a by-product of the burning of fossil fuels (gasoline, LP gas,
diesel fuel, etc.). The chassis and generator engines, fur-
naces, water heater, LP gas refrigerator and range in your
motor home produce it constantly while they are operating.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY. Please read and
understand the following precautions to protect yourself and
others from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

If you or others experience any of these symptoms, get out

medical attention. Shut down the unit and do not operate it
until it has been inspected and repaired.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Exhaust gases are dead-
ly. Do not block the tail-
pipes, or exhaust ports,
or situate the vehicle in a
place where the exhaust
gases have any possibili-
ty of accumulating either
outside, underneath, or
inside your vehicle or any
nearby vehicles. Outside
air movements can carry
exhaust gases inside the
vehicle through windows
or other openings remote
from the exhaust outlet.
Operate the engine(s),
carbon monoxide-pro-
ducing systems or com-
ponents only when safe
dispersion of exhaust
gases can be assured.
Monitor outside condi-
tions to be sure that
exhaust continues to be
dispersed safely.
