Carbon Monoxide Safety Precautions
DO NOT alter or modify any component of the exhaust system at any time. Inspect the
exhaust system at regular intervals for damage. If you suspect or locate damage to the
system, have it repaired immediately by a qualified service facility.
Never sleep while the engine is running. Be aware of carbon monoxide poisoning and its
symptoms: Dizziness, Severe Headache, Vomiting, Weakness, Sleepiness, Muscular
Twitching, and Throbbing in Temples. If anyone in the motorhome experiences any of
these symptoms, shut off the engine, and immediately go outside into fresh air.
Get medical attention as soon as possible.
Carbon Monoxide cannot be seen or smelled and can kill you. If alarm sounds: Turn off
appliances, as well as other sources of combustion at once (furnace, water heater, stove,
motorhome, automobile, etc.) and call the fire department. Get fresh air into the premises or
vehicle. Have the problem corrected before starting any appliances or the vehicle.
Never run the engine and/or the generator unless you are sure that exhaust gases will be
safely dispersed into the atmosphere. Always be sure that tail pipes remain unblocked and
windows near the exhaust are closed.
