Emergency Towing; Carbon Monoxide Detector - Fleetwood PaceArrow Vision Manual

Table of Contents

Advertisement

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.
Please refer to the operating instructions included in your
Owner's Information Package.
The only safe and approved towing methods are either an
under reach wheel lift device, as installed on a minimum
3-ton tow truck chassis, or a flat bed trailer. Most tow truck
operators willing and able to tow motor homes will be famil-
iar with these devices. Be prepared to give the tow truck
operator at least the following information when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
When towing with an under reach lift device, 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 Manual_
To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the disabled vehicle.
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
3. Turn off LP gas appliances and the LP gas tank valve.
4. Do not allow any person to ride in the towed vehicle.

front suspension failure.
The rear frame extensions
are not designed to with-
stand the load imposed by
lifting from the rear.
