14 ______________________ _
Beware of exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) poisoning
symptoms:
Dizziness
Vomiting
Nausea
Muscular Twitching
Intense Headache
Throbbing in Temples
Weakness and Sleepiness
Inability to Think Coherently
If you or others experience any of these symptoms, get
out into the fresh air immediately. If symptom persist,
seek medical attention. Shut down the unit and do not
operate until it has been inspected and repaired.
WARNING
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
OPERATE ANY ENGINE WHILE SLEEPING.
You would not be able to monitor outside conditions to
assure that engine exhaust does not enter the interior,
and you would not be alert to exhaust odors or symp-
toms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Do not operate an engine with a damaged exhaust
system. Check the system frequently for damage. Do
not under any circumstances modify the exhaust
system(s) in any way.
Carbon Monoxide Detector
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
monoxide 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 concen-
trations of carbon monoxide. See the section on Carbon
Monoxide in this manual.
Test the CO detector after the motor home has been in
storage, before each trip, and at least once a week
during use. Replace the sensor and battery when nec-
essary. Do not replace the battery without replacing the
sensor. Sensors may be obtained through your Fleet-
wood dealer. Please refer to the operating instructions
included in your Owner's Information Package.
EMERGENCYTOWING
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 familiar 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
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear.
Towing from the rear will cause serious
overloading of the front tires and suspen-
sion, possibly resulting in tire or front sus-
pension failure. The rear frame extensions
are not designed to withstand the load im-
posed by lifting from the rear.
The vehicle must be towed from the front, either on the
rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy duty dolly, or
transported on a flat bed trailer. 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.
ATTACHING ACCESSORIES TO
YOUR MOTOR HOME
The walls in your motor home are constructed with
Vacu-boncJ® lamination technology. Structural members
are located specifically to mount and attach factory-
installed components and accessories, and may not be
located to support after-market accessories not specifi-
cally designed for use on or in your motor home.
Please consult with your dealer before attempting to
install or mount accessories on the sidewalls of your
motor home. Holes drilled in the sidewall may cause
damage, and may affect portions of your warranty
coverage.
