change or when the underbody of the motorhome
makes contact with an object or becomes
damaged�
7� Close rear windows when driving to prevent
drawing exhaust fumes into the motorhome�
NOTE: When the motorhome is new, some of
the appliances will burn off paint or residue which
has accumulated during production� You also
may notice some odors from cleaners which will
dissipate with use and ventilation.
AVOIDING ASPHYXIATION
1� Do not use portable fuel-burning equipment such
as wood or charcoal grills, heaters or stoves
inside the motorhome. The use of this equipment
can produce deadly carbon monoxide gas or
cause res.
Do not bring or store LP Gas containers,
gasoline or other ammable liquids inside the
motorhome because a re or explosion may
result.
WARNING
Do not use materials that contain ammonia or
chlorine to check for LP Gas leaks.
WARNING
2� Ensure there is proper ventilation before using
the gas range to prevent asphyxiation. Do NOT
use the range to heat the motorhome� Long
term use of these appliances for space heating
increases the chance of asphyxiation� Open the
overhead vent and open a window before using
the range�
3� Avoid breathing the exhaust fumes from gas or
diesel engines and LP Gas burners� Poisonous
exhaust fumes are produced from operating the
motorhome or generator engine, stove, oven,
refrigerator, furnace and hot water heater. Position
the motorhome so the wind blows exhaust
fumes away from the motorhome� Ensure proper
ventilation and adequate air exchange when
using LP Gas appliances to prevent a buildup of
deadly carbon monoxide gas. Be sure all alarms
are in proper working condition.
4� Do not run the motorhome or generator engine
in a conned area such as a garage, except to
remove the motorhome from the conned area.
5� Use the vent or air conditioning fan to force fresh
air into the motorhome if the vehicle is not moving
but the engine is running for more than just a few
minutes�
6� Maintain engine and generator exhaust system
components to prevent fumes from entering
the motorhome. Check exhaust systems when
changing oil, when exhaust system sounds
