Testing
Test Procedures:
Test the Carbon Monoxide detector operation
after the motorhome has been in storage, before
each trip and at least once a week during use.
Test the alarm by holding the TEST/RESET
button in until the alarm sounds. The alarm will
sound four beeps and the indicator lamp goes
steady red. Six seconds later the alarm will
again beep four times and the indicator light
goes steady green.
Peak Level Memory:
The CO detector has the capability to
remember the level of Carbon Monoxide that
activated the alarm.
Press the TEST/RESET button for less than
one second and observe the visual and audible
signals.
One beep and one green ash indicate
memory is clear.
Two beeps and two red ashes indicate
less than 100 ppm.
Three beeps and three red ashes
indicate less than 200 ppm.
Four beeps and four red ashes
indicate greater than 200 ppm.
NOTE:
Memory is erased when power is
disconnected for 15 seconds.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust or other
buildup on the detector. DO NOT wash. Wipe
the detector with a damp cloth and dry with a
towel. DO NOT open the detector for cleaning.
DO NOT paint the detector. It is recommend
that the Carbon Monoxide detector be replaced
every 5 years.
The CO detector has no user service parts. If
there is a problem with the detector refer to an
authorized service center. DO NOT REMOVE
POWER.
INSPECT:
Check the CO detector weekly and at
the beginning and end of each trip.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The re extinguisher in the motorhome is
located near the main entrance door. Please read
the operating instructions that are printed on the
re extinguisher. If there is any doubt on how
to operate the re extinguisher practice using it.
Be sure to replace or recharge the extinguisher
immediately after use.
Inspect the re extinguisher at least
once a month. Do so more frequently if the
extinguisher is exposed to weather or possible
tampering. DO NOT test the extinguisher by
partially discharging. Internal pressure will
escape and the re extinguisher will need to be
replaced.
Use the PASS word!
Pull the pin to unlock the
extinguisher.
Aim at the base (bottom) of the re
and stand 6 to 10 feet away.
Squeeze the lever to discharge the
agent.
Sweep the spray from
left to right until totally
extinguished.
WARNING:
Road vibration will
cause extinguisher
powder to compact and
may cause extinguisher
malfunction. Invert
and shake extinguisher
monthly.
