Carbon Monoxide Safety Precautions; Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm - Fleetwood Flair 2001 Owner's Manual

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas. It is
a by-product of the burning of fossil fuels (gasoline, LP gas,
diesel fuel, etc.). The chassis and generator engines,
furnaces, water heater, LP gas refrigerator and range in your
motor home produce it constantly while they are operating.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY. Please read and
understand the following precautions to protect yourself and
others from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Beware of the symptoms of exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)
poisoning:
Dizziness
Vomiting
Nausea
Muscumr twitching
Intense headache
Throbbing in temples
Weakness and sleepiness
Inability to think clearly
WARNING
Do not under any circum·
stances operate any
engine while sleeping. You
would not be able to moni·
tor outsider 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.
If you or others experience any of these symptoms, get out
into fresh air immediately. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention. Shut down the unit and do not operate it until it has
been inspected and repaired.
Your motor home is equipped with a carbon monoxide (CO)
detector/alarm.
If the detector/alarm sounds, it is an indication that unaccept-
able levels of carbon monoxide gas are present. This may
occur in traffic concentrations or in campgrounds where other
vehicles as well as your motor home are contributing to the
carbon monoxide level in the surrounding air. Sounding of the
detector/alarm does not indicate a faulty detector/alarm. The
detector/alarm is doing its job of warning you of potentially
high concentrations of carbon monoxide.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly.
Do not block the tailpipes,
or exhaust ports, or situate
the vehicle in a place where
the exhaust gases have any
possibility of accumulating
either outside, underneath,
or inside your vehicle or any
nearby vehicles. Outside air
movements can carry
exhaust gases inside the
vehicle through windows or
other openings remote from
the exhaust outlet. Operate
the engine(s), carbon mon-
oxide·producing systems or
components only when safe
dispersion of exhaust gases
can be assured. Monitor
outside conditions to be
sure that exhaust continues
to be dispersed safely.
