WARNING
Do not under any circumstances operate any engine
or the cooking stove or range while sleeping. You
would not be able to monitor outside conditions to
assure that engine exhaust does not enter the interior,
and you would not be alert to exhaust odors or symp-
toms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
!
WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly. Do not block the tailpipes,
or exhaust ports, or situate the vehicle in a place
where the exhaust gases have any possibility of accu-
mulating either outside, underneath, or inside your
vehicle or any nearby vehicles. Outside air move-
ments can carry exhaust gases inside the vehicle
through windows or other openings remote from the
exhaust outlet. Operate the engine(s), carbon mon-
oxide-producing systems or components only when
safe dispersion of exhaust gases can be assured.
Monitor outside conditions to be sure that exhaust
continues to be dispersed safely.
!
WARNING
When operating the on-board generator for electrical
power and using the overhead kitchen vent fan,
regardless of the outside temperature, open a
window "slightly". This will reduce the chances of
drawing harmful Carbon Monoxide into the passenger
compartment.
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.
05-18
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 surround-
ing air. Sounding of the detector/alarm does
not indicate a faulty detector/alarm. The detec-
tor/alarm is doing its job of warning you of
potentially high concentrations of carbon mon-
oxide.
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
materials included in your Owner's Information
Package.
!
WARNING
The propane alarm cannot detect propane gas or
sound the alarm for two minutes after it has been
turned on.
NOTE
3
When the propane alarm is in the "active" and
functioning mode, the green LED will be illuminated.
