2.4 ASPHYXIATION
1. Do not use portable fuel-burning equipment in-
cluding wood and charcoal grills and stoves in the
vehicle. The use of this equipment can generate
deadly carbon monoxide gas or cause res.
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 in-
creases 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
engine and LP gas burner such as the vehicle or
generator engines and the range, oven, refrigera-
tor, furnace or water heater. Position the vehicle
so the wind blows the engine exhaust fumes
away. Provide ventilation to the inside of the vehi-
cle 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 conned 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 com-
ponents in this vehicle and may release small amounts
of formaldehyde fumes into the vehicle for an un-
known 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 eects are not well understood, testing
to date has not revealed any serious health eects in
humans at the level of emission from these products.
Reduce the eects of the formaldehyde fumes by
keeping the unit well ventilated.
2.6 LP GAS LEAKS
1. Check your RV unit for gas leaks annually before
you start using it for the season.
2. If you smell gas shut o the gas supply imediatly.
Do not operate electrical switches. Air out the unit
and have the gas system checked before using
again.
For U.S. units the following label has been placed
in the vehicle near the range area:
3. Use soapy water to check for leaks and watch for
bubbles. Do not use an open ame.
4. Correct or repair leak(s) before using appliances or
vehicle again.
COMMANDER / EMBASSY
IF YOU SMELL GAS
1. Extinguish any open ame, pilot lights and all smoking material.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut o thegas supply at the container valve(s) or gas supply con-
nection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until the odour clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before
using again.
