lights and all smoking materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank
valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating
openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and
leakage source corrected before
using again.

LP GAS ALARM

Your coach is equipped with an LP gas detec-
tor which sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of
LP gas is present inside the coach. Because LP
gas is heavier than air, the detector is located on
a cabinet face near the floor of the coach.
A green light on the face of the alarm shows
when the unit is active.
If the detector senses LP gas, the alarm will
make a loud, pulsating sound and the red light
will come on. Pressing the "MUTE" button will
stop the alarm for 60 seconds. If there is no more
detectable LP gas, the alarm will stay off. If the
detector still senses LP gas by the end of the 60
second mute mode, the alarm will sound again.
If The Alarm Sounds
If the alarm sounds, do not touch any electrical
switches. Immediately turn off the main LP tank
valve and all LP appliances, open all windows
and roof vents, and leave the coach until the
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
alarm stops sounding.
If the alarm keeps sounding at regular inter-
vals, a leak may be present. Contact your dealer
or an LP gas service center to have the problem
corrected before using the LP system again.
WARNING
Never use an open flame to test for
gas leaks. When testing for gas line
leaks with a soapy water solution, DO
NOT use a detergent containing
ammonia or chlorine. These sub-
stances may generate a chemical
reaction causing corrosion to gas
lines, resulting in dangerous leak con-
ditions.
Power Connection
The gas alarm is powered by the coach batter-
ies. If the auxiliary battery switch is shut off or
the battery cable is disconnected from the batter-
ies, the alarm will not work. The LP gas alarm
fuse is located on the 12-volt fuse block beneath
the instrument pod, as shown.

Because the LP gas alarm is connected direct-
ly to the auxiliary battery, it is always drawing a
small amount of current. Even though this current
draw is slight, it could drain the coach battery
during storage periods of 30 days or longer. We
recommend turning the auxiliary battery switch
