JAYCO CLASS A MOTOR HOMES SECTION 2 – OCCUPANT SAFETY
2-5
These chemicals can be found in commonly used items such as deodorants,
colognes, perfumes, adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, glues, wine, liquor, most
cleaning agents and the propellants of aerosol cans.
High temperatures can activate glue and adhesive vapors. If you close up a
recreation vehicle on a hot day, the chemicals used in its construction may be
detected for months after the vehicle was constructed (for more information, refer
to Section 2, Formaldehyde).
NOTE: The alarm is wired directly to the motor home 12-volt electrical
system, with continual power being supplied by the motor home battery. There is
no 9-volt battery power supply in the carbon monoxide/propane alarm. If the
battery cable is disconnected at the battery terminals, the alarm will not work.
What you should do if the alarm sounds
1. Operate the RESET/SILENCE button.
2. Call your emergency services (fire department or 911).
3. Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or by an open door or window).
4. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open door or window
until the emergency service responders have arrived, the premises have
been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.
If your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-4 and call a
qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of carbon monoxide from
fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this
equipment. Make sure that motor vehicle(s) are not, and have not been, operating
in an attached garage or adjacent to the motor home.
WARNING
The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary indoor
locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or
industrial standards.
Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices that
provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under
30 PPM.
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the
sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
The ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic carbon monoxide
fumes rests solely on you. Installing a carbon monoxide/propane alarm is
just the first step in protecting your family from toxic carbon monoxide
poisoning
WARNING
Actuation of this detector indicates the presence of carbon monoxide which
can kill you
