WARNING
Do not under any circum-
stances operate the gen-
erator while sleeping. You
would not be able to
monitor outside condi-
tions to assure that gen-
erator exhaust does not
enter the Interior, and you
would not be alert to
exhaust odors or symp-
toms of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
WARNING
Do not block the genera-
tor ventilating air inlets
or outlets. The engine
requires a constant sup-
ply
of
cooling
air.
Restricted ventilating air
inlets or outlets can cause
engine failure or fire from
engine overheating.

block the tail pipe or situ-
ate the motor home 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
of other openings remote
from
the
generator
exhau.st.
Operate
the
generator only when safe
