What you should do if the alarm sounds
WARNING
Actuation of this alarm may indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide that can kill
you. This alarm will only indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide gas at the
sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be
present in other areas.
The alarm will automatically sense when the
level of carbon monoxide in the air reaches
dangerous levels. You should stay outside the
RV in fresh air until the alarm is silenced.
When the alarm sounds, do not stand too
close to it. The sound produced by the alarm is
loud because it is designed to wake a person
in an emergency. Prolonged exposure to the
alarm at a close distance may be harmful to
your hearing.
1. Operate the RESET/SILENCE button.
2. Call your emergency
department or 911).
3. Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or
by an open door or window).
4. Do a head count to check that all persons
(and pets) are present.
5. Do not re-enter the premises. If unable to
exit the premises do not move away from
the open door or window until the
emergency service
arrived, the premises have been aired out

becomes weak, the carbon monoxide alarm
will "beep" (the low battery warning). If the low
battery warning sounds, the battery MUST be
replaced. Never disconnect the battery to
silence the carbon monoxide alarm.

Testing the carbon monoxide alarm

Test the alarm operation after the RV has been
in storage, before each trip and at least once
per week during use. Test the carbon
monoxide alarm after each cleaning. If the
alarm does not test properly, return the alarm
to your RV dealer immediately for repair or
replacement.
WARNING
If the CO detector is not maintained and
functioning properly according to the CO
detector manufacturer's
instructions, you will not be warned if CO is
present in the air. Death or serious illness
could result from asphyxiation (inability to
breathe) if CO is present.

Inspection and maintenance

Read the OEM operator's manual. Be sure to
know how and when to use the carbon
monoxide alarm and where it is located.

F O QUIPPED
For your safety protection, any new RV that
contains a propane gas system with propane
consuming appliances must have a propane
leak detection device. Because the chemical
composition of propane is heavier than air, the
propane alarm is located near the floor of the
RV (leaking propane tends to flow to and
pocket in low areas). A lit green LED indicates
when the alarm is active. Individuals with
medical problems, or who are hard of hearing,
should consider using warning devices that
provide both audible and visual signals.
