also produce Carbon Monoxide. Under normal conditions your
coach should be free from Carbon Monoxide at any given time.
Due to the safety hazards of Carbon Monoxide (CO), each Gulf
Stream motor home is equipped with a CO Detector.
Carefully read the instructions included with your CO detector to
ensure proper use and maintenance. Most CO detectors require
only occasional dusting and weekly testing. DO NOT use any
type of cleaner when dusting your CO detector. Doing so may
render the unit useless without warning.
Carbon Monoxide is often confused with illness such as “flu like
symptoms”. (Headaches, Nausea, Dizziness). Such symptoms
should be discussed with all vehicle occupants. RV certified CO
detectors will sound an alarm if 100 PPM (parts per million) of CO
is present within 90 minutes. 50 PPM is allowed in a work place for
up to 8 hours. Cigarette smoke contains about 5 PPM Carbon
Monoxide.
If your CO alarm sounds, exit the vehicle immediately. After exiting
the vehicle take a head count and make sure everyone is
accounted for. Air out the vehicle and check again to ensure that
the alarm came from the CO detector, as your vehicle is also
equipped with a smoke detector and LP gas detector (optional).
Following instructions included with your CO detector is
recommended.
LP Gas Safety
WARNING: SHUT OFF ALL LP GAS SYSTEMS BEFORE
FILLING THE GASOLINE TANK. LP appliances should never be
operated while the vehicle is in motion. If the pungent odor of LP
gas is detected, immediately shut off the LP gas valve and check
the LP gas label for further instructions. Your unit may be equipped
with an LP gas leak detector that will help you detect the presence
of LP gas. However, this detector should not be relied upon solely;
if you detect the smell of LP gas, shut off the gas valve immediately.
Check other sections of this manual for more information on the LP
gas system.
