On The Road
Muscular twitching
Intense headache
Throbbing in temples
Weakness and sleepiness
Inability to think clearly
A
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.
A
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.
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.
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 sUl1'0unding air.
Sounding of the detector/alarm does not indicate
a faulty detector/alarm. The detector/alarm is
05-18
doing its job of waming you of potentially high
concentrations of carbon monoxide.
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 mate-
rials included in your Owner's Information
Package.
EMERGENCY TOWING
The prefened emergency towing methods are
either an under reach wheel lift device or a flat bed
trailer. Most tow tlUck operators willing to tow
motor homes will be familiar with these devices.
Be prepared to give the tow tlUck operator at least
the following infOlmation when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear. Towing from
the rear will cause serious overloading of the front
tires and suspension, possibly resulting in tire or front
suspension failure. The rear frame extensions are not
designed to withstand the load imposed by lifting from
the rear.
A
WARNING
DO NOT crawl under or place any part of your body
under a vehicle that is being lifted. Stand clear of all
towing equipment and the vehicle being lifted.
The vehicle must be towed from the front, either
on the rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy
duty dolly. Consult your Chassis Operator's!
Owner's Guide!M anllal for any available
instlUctions. Contact the chassis assistance cen-
ter prior to calling a tow company to receive
tow instlUctions and possible assistance with
coordinating the tow.
