FORMALDEHYDE
INFORMATION
WARNING
Some components in this vehicle contain
formaldehyde-based adhesives that may
release formaldehyde fumes into the air for an
unknown period of time until total dissipation
occurs. Individuals who are allergic to
formaldehyde gas fumes may experience
irritation to eyes, ears, nose and throat.
Reaction in infants may be more severe.
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.
NOTE:
To aid in dissipation, ventilate the
vehicle by opening all windows and
circulating the air with a fan.

CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING

WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
colourless, odorless and poisonous gas.
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the
passenger compartment, have the cause
determined and corrected as soon as possible. If
you must drive under these conditions, drive only
with ALL WINDOWS FULLY OPENED.
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle body is a properly maintained
engine exhaust and ventilation system. It is
recommended that the exhaust system and body
be inspected by a qualified motor home service
centre.
Each time the vehicle is raised for an oil change.
Whenever a change in the sound of the exhaust
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 VEHICLE 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 control
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, it will be located on the ceiling in the
bedroom area.
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
furnace, gas range/oven, water heater,
refrigerator, chassis engine, and electric generator
engine.
