Carbon Monoxide Detector; Anaching Accessories To Your Motor Home - Fleetwood 1999 American Tradition Parts And Service Manual

Your motor home is equipped with a carbon monoxide (CO)
detector. It is located in the main sleeping area.
If the detector sounds, it is an indication that carbon monox-
ide gas is present. This may occur while idling in high traffic
concentrations where other vehicles as well as your motor
home are contributing to the carbon monoxide level in the
surrounding air. Sounding of the alarm does not indicate a
faulty alarm. The detector is doing its job of warning you of
potentially high concentrations of carbon monoxide.
Test the CO detector after the motor home has been in stor-
age, before each trip, and at least once a week during use.
The carbon monoxide detector does not contain a battery. It
is wired directly into your motor home electrical system to
draw power from either the chassis or coach batteries.
At least one of the battery disconnects must be on in order
for the carbon monoxide detector to receive power. The car-
bon monoxide detector is equipped with an indicator light
which will be lit if the detector is receiving power.
Please refer to the operating instructions included in your
Owner's Information Package.
