2.4 ASPHYXIATION
1. Do not use portable fuel-burning equipment
including wood and charcoal grills and stoves in
the vehicle. The use of this equipment can
generate deadly carbon monoxide gas or cause
fires.
2. Provide proper ventilation when using the gas
range or oven to prevent asphyxiation. Do not use
the oven or range to heat the vehicle. Long term
use of these appliances for space heating
increases the chance of asphyxiation. Before
using the range or oven:
a. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan,
and…
b. Open window.
3. Avoid breathing the exhaust fumes from a gas or
diesel engine and LP gas burner such as the
vehicle or generator engines and the range, oven,
refrigerator, furnace or water heater. Position the
vehicle so the wind blows the engine exhaust
fumes away. Provide ventilation to the inside of the
vehicle for adequate air exchange when
appliances or furnaces are being used to prevent
a build-up of carbon monoxide. Be sure all alarms
are working.
4. Do not run vehicle or auxiliary generator engine in
a confined area such as a garage unless you are
just moving it out of the area.
5. Use vent or air conditioning fan to force fresh air
into the interior when vehicle is in an open area with
the engine running for more than just a short time.
6. Maintain engine(s) exhaust system components
in top condition to prevent fumes from entering
vehicle. Check when changing oil, when exhaust
sound changes or when underbody is damaged.
7. Close rear windows when driving to prevent
drawing exhaust fumes into vehicle.
2.5 FORMALDEHYDE
Formaldehyde based adhesives are used in some
components in this vehicle and may release small
amounts of formaldehyde fumes into the vehicle for an
unknown period of time until fully dissipated. Some
people who are allergic to the fumes may experience
irritation to the eyes, ears, nose and throat. Small
infants may have a more serious reaction. Although
long range effects are not well understood, testing to
date has not revealed any serious health effects in
humans at the level of emission from these products.
Reduce the effects of the formaldehyde fumes by
keeping the unit well ventilated.
2.6 LP GAS LEAKS
1. Read, understand and follow safety sign located
near the stove:
2. Use soapy water to check for leaks and watch
for bubbles. Do not use an open flame.
3. Correct or repair leak(s) before using appliances
or vehicle again.
