THE
ROAD
Engine temperature gauges have been calibrated to indicate a
midrange reading as the
"normal" operating temperature. The
reason for this is that many owners perceive
212
0
F.
as the
boiling point. However, this is not the case in an engine with a
pressurized cooling system and a coolant mixture
of
glycol
and water. As a motor home owner, be aware that the gauge is
intended to provide a warning
of
any rapid change in engine
coolant temperature from the
"normal" reading
of
the gauge
rather than an absolute temperature reading.
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.
CAR-
BON
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
Muscular twitching
Intense headache
Throbbing in temples
Weakness
and
sleepiness
Inability to think clearly
If
you
or
others experience any

SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Exhaust gases are dead-
ly. Do
not
block
the
tailpipes,
or
exhaust
ports, or situate the ve-
hicle
in
a place where the
exhaust gases have any
possibility of accumulat-
ing either outSide, under-
neath,
or
inside
your
vehicle or any nearby ve-
hicles. OutSide air move-
ments can carry exhaust
gases inside the
vehicle
through windows or other
openings
remote from
the exhaust outlet.
Oper-
ate the engine(s), carbon
monoxide-producing sys-
tems 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.
