Emergency Towing; Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm - Fleetwood 2012 Discovery Owner's Manual

If you or others experience any of these symp-
toms, get out into fresh air immediately. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Shut
down the unit and do not operate it until it has
been inspected and repaired.

Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm

Your motor home is equipped with a carbon
monoxide (CO) detector/alarm.
If the detector/alarm sounds, it is an indication
that unacceptable levels of carbon monoxide gas
are present. This may occur in traffic concentra-
tions or in campgrounds where other vehicles as
well as your motor home are contributing to the
carbon monoxide level in the surrounding air.
Sounding of the detector/alarm does not indicate
a faulty detector/alarm. The detector/alarm is
doing its job of warning you of potentially high
concentrations of carbon monoxide.
Test the CO detector/alarm after the motor home
has been in storage, before each trip, and at least
once a week during use. Please refer to the mate-
rials included in your Owner's Information
Package.

EMERGENCY TOWING

The preferred emergency towing methods are
either an under reach wheel lift device or a flat bed
trailer. Most tow truck operators willing to tow
motor homes will be familiar with these devices.
Be prepared to give the tow truck operator at least
the following information when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear. Towing from
the rear will cause serious overloading of the front
tires and suspension, possibly resulting in tire or front
suspension failure. The rear frame extensions are not
designed to withstand the load imposed by lifting from
the rear.
The vehicle must be towed from the front, either
on the rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy
duty dolly. Consult your Chassis Operator's/
Owner's Guide/Manual for any available
instructions. Contact the chassis assistance cen-
ter prior to calling a tow company to receive
tow instructions and possible assistance with
coordinating the tow.

To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the
disabled vehicle, if any.
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
3. Turn off Propane appliances and the
Propane tank valve.
4. Do not allow any person to ride in the
towed vehicle.
WARNING
!
DO NOT crawl under or place any part of your body
under a vehicle that is being lifted. Stand clear of all
towing equipment and the vehicle being lifted.
