Asphyxiation; Formaldehyde; Lp Gas Leaks - Triple E COMMANDER Owner's Manual

2.4 MINIMIZING
ASPHYXIATION RISK
1. Do not use portable fuel-burning equipment
including wood and charcoal grills and stoves
in the vehicle. The use of this equipment can
generate deadly carbon monoxide gas or
cause fi res.
2. Provide proper ventilation when using the gas
range or oven to prevent asphyxiation. Do
not use the oven or range to heat the vehicle.
Long term use of these appliances for space
heating increases the chance of asphyxiation.
Before using the range or oven:
a. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust
fan, and...
b. Open window.
3. Avoid breathing the exhaust fumes from a gas
engine and LP gas burner such as the vehicle
or generator engines and the range, oven,
refrigerator, furnace or water heater. Posi-
tion the vehicle so the wind blows the engine
exhaust fumes away. Provide ventilation to the
inside of the vehicle for adequate air exchange
when appliances or furnaces are being used
to prevent a build-up of carbon monoxide. Be
sure all alarms are working.
4. Do not run vehicle or auxiliary generator
engine in a confi ned area such as a garage
unless you are just moving it out of the area.
5. Use vent or air conditioning fan to force fresh
air into the interior when vehicle is in an open
area with the engine running for more than just
a short time.
6. Maintain engine(s) exhaust system compo-
nents in top condition to prevent fumes from
entering vehicle. Check when changing oil,
when exhaust sound changes or when under-
body is damaged.
7. Close rear windows when driving to prevent
drawing exhaust fumes into vehicle.

Formaldehyde based adhesives are used in some
components in this vehicle and may release small
amounts of formaldehyde fumes into the vehicle
for an unknown period of time until fully dissipated.
Some people who are allergic to the fumes may
experience irritation to the eyes, ears, nose and
throat. Small infants may have a more serious
reaction. Although long range effects are not well
understood, testing to date has not revealed any
serious health effects in humans at the level of
emission from these products. Reduce the effects
of the formaldehyde fumes by keeping the unit well
ventilated.
