SECTION 3
– Getting To Know Your MotorHome
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust and ventilation
system. It is recommended that the exhaust
system and body be inspected by a qualified
motor home service center.
•
Each time the vehicle is serviced for an oil
change.
•
Whenever a change in the sound of the
exhaust system is noticed.
•
Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or
rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle's
ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet
grill clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at
all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED
VEHICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR
AN EXTENDED PERIOD.
Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a
garage, except to move vehicle into or out of
area.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
Your coach is equipped with a carbon
monoxide (CO) alarm located on the ceiling in
the bedroom area. The CO alarm is powered by a
9-volt battery and has a sensor that is designed to
detect toxic carbon monoxide gas fumes
resulting from incomplete combustion of fuel. It
will detect CO gas from any combustion source
such as the furnace, gas range/oven, water heater,
refrigerator, chassis engine, and electric
generator engine.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Monthly Testing
Press the TEST button on the face of the alarm
at least monthly to check the function of the
alarm and condition of the battery. If the alarm
begins to beep every few seconds, the battery
may be weak and need replacement. (Press the
TEST button to be sure before replacing the
battery. If the alarm sounds, the battery may still
be okay. If the alarm still beeps every few
seconds, check the smoke detector also. The "low
battery" warning beep is similar on many alarm
devices, so the origin of this electronic sound can
be deceiving.)
Further Information
Please read the information provided by the
manufacturer, which is included in your Owner
InfoCase. It includes information on precautions,
operational testing, and battery/sensor
replacement.
EMERGENCY EXITS
Instructions for operation are also located on a
label on the glass for quick reference and for
passengers who may not be familiar with the exit.
Never remove or destroy this label.
