SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly main-
tained engine exhaust and ventilation system. It is
recommended that the exhaust system and body
be inspected by a qualified motor home service
center.
• Each time the vehicle is raised for an oil
change.
• Whenever a change in the sound of the ex-
haust system is noticed.
• Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or
rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle's
ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet
grill clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at
all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED VE-
HICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD.
Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a
garage, except to move vehicle in or out of area.
When vehicle is stopped in an UNCONFINED
area with the engine running for any more than a
short period, adjust heating or cooling system to
force outside air into the vehicle as follows:
1. Set fan to medium or high speed and vent
control to air.
2. On vehicles equipped with air conditioning,
set fan to medium or high speed and set con-
trol to obtain maximum vent air.
Rear windows should be closed while driving
to avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into
the vehicle.
CARBON MONOXIDE
ALARM
Your coach is equipped with a carbon
monoxide (CO) alarm, located on the ceiling in
the bedroom area.
1-6
Red Light
(Press to Test Alarm)
The CO alarm is powered by a 9-volt battery
and contains a sensor that is designed to detect
toxic carbon monoxide gas fumes resulting from
incomplete combustion of fuel. It will detect CO
gas from any combustion source such as the fur-
nace, gas range/oven, water heater, refrigerator,
chassis engine, and electric generator engine.
• Patented biomimetic sensor mimics the
human response to Carbon Monoxide.
• Test/Reset alarm circuitry, microprocessor,
battery and horn.
• Red light flashes once every thirty seconds in
normal operation.
• Continuous yellow light with a beep every
three seconds indicates an unhealthy CO
level.
• Continuous red light and pulsating alarm
signal a dangerous CO condition.
• Battery operation provides protection 100%
of the time. Low battery signal alerts consum-
er of need to replace battery.
• 85 decibel alarm assures waking during
sleeping hours.
Monthly Testing
Press the TEST button on the face of the alarm
periodically (at least monthly) to check the func-
tion of the alarm and condition of the battery. If
the alarm begins to beep every few seconds, the
battery may be weak and need replacement.
(Press the TEST button to be sure before replac-
ing the battery.) If the alarm sounds, the battery
may still be okay. If the alarm still beeps every
few seconds, check the smoke detector also. The
"low battery" warning beep is similar on many
