CRAWLER TRC 458 - Alarms and Detectors

Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing, it is of utmost
importance that you ventilate your recreational vehicle. Ventilation should occur
frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are
elevated. Remember, off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity.
Open windows, exhaust vents, and doors. Operate ceiling and/or other fans, roof
air conditioners, and furnaces, and use a fan to force stale air out and bring fresh
air in. Decreasing the ow of air by sealing the recreational vehicle increases the
formaldehyde level in the vehicle’s indoor air.
Do Not Smoke
It is recommended you do not smoke inside your recreational vehicle. In addition
to causing damage to your recreational vehicle, tobacco smoke releases formal-
dehyde and other toxic chemicals.
Medical Advice
Questions regarding the effects of formaldehyde on your health should be sub-
mitted to your doctor or local health department.
Alarms and Detectors
Liquid Propane Gas (LPG)/Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector
This detector has a ve-year life; see end-of-life notication in the detectors ma-
nual. Please read the entire detector manual before operating the unit.
The LPG/CO detector is located in the galley area. LPG is a mixture of gases
produced and sold commercially as a fuel for heating and cooking appliances.
LPG is highly ammable and, as a result, can be explosive if ignited under certain
circumstances. LPG is heavier than air and, if conned in a closed space, will
accumulate close to the oor. The LPG/CO detector is designed to alarm when
propane gas exceeds 10% of the lower-explosive-limit for more than 30 seconds
or if CO gas reaches unsafe levels. When propane gas is detected the horn will
sound with constant beeps and the red LED will be on. If CO gas is detected the
horn will sound with 4 rapid chirps followed by a 4 second pause and the red LED
will ash rapidly.
Your LPG/CO detector is wired directly to your trailer battery and incorporates a
1-amp, in-line fuse. It has no internal battery backup. In normal stand-by mode,
the LED indicator will be green.
