If the CO (Carbon Monoxide) aarm sounds, vacate the coach immediately to receive clear air until the aarm termi-
nates. The CO aarm will only notify you if the air becomes threatening. A CO aarm is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other
combustible gas, fire or smoke aarms.
If you are in close proximity to the CO aarm, it could be very damaging to your hearing ability. Others with hearing
disabilities should consider purchasing a mechanism that will give off visual indicators that the aarm is sounding.
The aarm is loud enough to wake someone up that is sleeping in case of an emergency.
What you should do if the aarm sounds
1. Instantly evacuate to fresh air.
First, go outside to receive air then help your family/guest exit safely.
2. DO NOT re-visit your fifth wheel for safety reasons.
3. DO NOT remove yourself from the open door or window where the fresh air is if you are not able to exit until
the following:
• Fire department/responders have arrived to your location,
• The area has been cleared
• The Carbon Monoxide aarm ceased.
4. In a 24-hour span, if your Carbon Monoxide aarm regenerates:
• Repay steps 1-2 above.
The following symptoms are reated to CO exposure or poisoning:
• Dull headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, shortness of breath, confusion, blurred vision,
loss of consciousness
• Seek immediate medical attention if anyone exhibits these symptoms.
