Your motor home is equipped with a carbon monoxide (CO)
detector/alarm.
It
is usually located in the main sleeping area.
If
the indicator sounds, it is an indication that carbon monox-
ide gas is present. This may occur while idling in high 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 alarm
does not indicate a faulty alarm. The detector is doing its job
of
warning you
of
potentially high concentrations
of
carbon
monoxide.
See the section on Carbon Monoxide in this
manual.
Test the
CO detector/alarm after the motor home has been in
storage, before each trip, and at least once a week during
use. Please refer to the operating instructions included in
your
Owner's Information Package.
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
famil-
iar 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
When towing with an under reach lift device, the vehicle
must be towed from the front, either on the rear wheels (if
operational) or on a heavy duty dolly. Consult your
Chassis
Operator's/Owner's Guide/Manual.
Contact the chassis
assistance center prior to calling a tow company to receive
tow instructions and possible assistance with coordinating
the
tow.
