If you or others experience any of these<br />

symptoms, get out into fresh air immediately .<br />

If symptoms persist, seek medical attention .<br />

Shut down the unit and do not operate it until it<br />

has been inspected and repaired .<br />

!<br />

WARNING<br />

When operating the on-board generator for electrical<br />

power and using the overhead kitchen vent fan,<br />

regardless of the outside temperature open a window<br />

slightly. This will reduce the chances of drawing<br />

harmful CO into the passenger compartment.<br />

Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm<br />

Your motor home is equipped with a carbon<br />

monoxide (CO) detector/alarm .<br />

If the detector/alarm sounds, it is an indication<br />

that unacceptable levels of carbon monoxide gas<br />

are present. This may occur in traffic concentrations<br />

or in campgrounds where other vehicles as<br />

well as your motor home are contributing to the<br />

carbon monoxide level in the surrounding air .<br />

Sounding of the detector/alarm does not indicate<br />

a faulty detector/alarm . The detector/alarm is<br />

doing its job of <strong>warning</strong> you of potentially high<br />

concentrations of carbon monoxide .<br />

Test the CO detector/alarm after the motor home<br />

has been in storage, before each trip, and at<br />

least once a week during use . Please refer to the<br />

materials included in your Owner’s Information<br />

Package.<br />

EMERGENCY TOWING<br />

The preferred emergency towing methods are<br />

either an under reach wheel lift device or a flat bed<br />

trailer . Most tow truck operators willing to tow<br />

motor homes will be familiar with these devices .<br />

Be prepared to give the tow truck operator at least<br />

the following information when you call:<br />

Length and height of motor home<br />

Chassis manufacturer<br />

Gross vehicle weight rating<br />

The vehicle must be towed from the front, either<br />

On The Road<br />

on the rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy<br />

duty dolly . Consult your Chassis Operator’s/<br />

Owner’s Guide/Manual for any available<br />

instructions . Contact the chassis assistance center<br />

prior to calling a tow company to receive<br />

tow instructions and possible assistance with<br />

coordinating the tow .<br />

To prepare your motor home for towing:<br />

1 . Secure any loose or protruding parts of the<br />

disabled vehicle, if any .<br />

2 . Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior<br />

.<br />

3 . Turn off Propane appliances and the<br />

Propane tank valve .<br />

4 . Do not allow any person to ride in the<br />

towed vehicle .<br />

!<br />

CAUTION<br />

Do not tow the motor home from the rear. Towing<br />

from the rear will cause serious overloading of the<br />

front tires and suspension, possibly resulting in tire or<br />

front suspension failure. The rear frame extensions<br />

are not designed to withstand the load imposed by<br />

lifting from the rear.<br />

WARNING<br />

DO NOT crawl under or place any part of your body<br />

under a vehicle that is being lifted. Stand clear of all<br />

towing equipment and the vehicle being lifted.<br />
