Do not check the pressure, test or practice using the fire extinguisher by
squeezing the trigger, even briefly. The fire extinguisher is not rechargeable
or refillable. Once used, it will gradually lose pressure and will not be fully
charged for use in an emergency.
Do not turn the electrical power back on or plug in any appliances after the use
of a fire extinguisher. Please refer to the fire extinguisher's user manual for
further instructions on maintenance and clean up.
Smoke Alarm
Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a smoke alarm that is listed for use in recreation
vehicles. The smoke alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained. Refer to the
manufacturer's user guide for detailed safety and operating information.
Smoke Alarms have a limited life and will wear out over time. Immediately replace the
detector if it is not working properly, if it displays any type of problem, or within five years
of use.
Though the alarm horn in this detector meets or exceeds current UL standards, it may not be
heard for reasons that include (but not limited to): a closed or partially closed door, other
noise from electronics, appliances or traffic.
This smoke alarm will not alert hearing impaired residents. Special
alarms with flashing strobe lights are recommended for the hearing im-
paired
Smoke Alarms cannot work without power. Battery operated units can-
not work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong
type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly.
Only use the replacement battery recommended by the smoke detector
manufacturer. The smoke detector alarm may not operate properly with
other batteries. Never use a rechargeable battery as it may not provide a
constant charge. Never disconnect the battery to silence the alarm.
Smoke Alarms cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach the Alarms.
Anything preventing smoke from reaching the alarm may delay or pre-
vent an alarm.
Test the smoke alarm operation after the vehicle has been in storage,
before each trip and at least once per week during use. Do not disconnect
the battery or the alarm.
Smoke Alarms are not foolproof and cannot prevent or extinguish fires.
Combination Carbon Monoxide /Propane Alarm
Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide (CO) / propane
alarm that is listed for use in recreation vehicles. The combination carbon monoxide/pro-
pane alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained. Refer to the manufacturer's
user guide for detailed safety and operating information.
