Exhaust gases are fatal. Do not position the trailer or an accessory in a
place where carbon monoxide cannot escape or evaporate. Outdoor air
movements can carry exhaust gases inside the trailer through windows
or other openings. Ensure that exhaust bases are safely dispersed at all
times.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should you run an engine while you are
sleeping. Exhaust gas from your car or generator could seep into your
trailer. You then would not be able to monitor outdoor conditions,
odours, or symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
Precautions against carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas. The generator
(if installed), space heater, water heater, propane refrigeratorand stove constantly produce
carbon monoxide gas when operating.
Carbon monoxide is a fatal gas!
To protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning, your trailer is equipped with a carbon
monoxide detector.
A few of the various symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are listed below.
Dizziness, headache, pain in the temples, nausea, vomiting, muscle spasms, weakness,
drowsiness and inability to think clearly.
If you or anyone else (including animals) have one of these symptoms, leave the trailer
immediately, breathe fresh air for a few minutes, and ventilate the trailer. If the symptoms
persist, consult a physician. If a combustion appliance is operating, turn it off until it has
been inspected and repaired.
