04 Safety Equipment
Smoke Detector
Your motorhome comes equipped with a smoke detector alarm (Image 45.1) for your protection. The alarm is powered by a replaceable 9V battery.
If it needs to be replaced, it will begin to emit a chirping sound.
Fire Extinguisher
Your motorhome is equipped with a dry chemical fire extinguisher (Image 45.2). It is rated for type B fires (liquids and grease) and type C fires (electrical). To use the fire extinguisher, pull the ring at the top, aim the nozzle at the base of the flames and press/squeeze the lever.
Cover the entire width of the base of the flames by sweeping the nozzle from side to side.
The fire extinguisher is located at the side of the step well by the coach entry door.
Cabon Monoxide (CO)/Liquid Propane (LP) Gas Detector
The CO (Carbon Monoxide), LP (Liquid Propane) detector (Image 46.1) is located either above the rear bed or in the dinette area. The detector constantly monitors the air inside of the motorhome for the presence of CO and LP. If dangerous levels of either are present in the interior of the motorhome, the alarm will sound.
When you hear the alarm sound, you must stop the motorhome if driving, turn off the motor, the generator and shut the LP valve, open the door and exit the motorhome.
If you are not driving and you hear the alarm sound, open all the motorhome windows and the door to ventilate the interior of the motorhome. Make sure nothing is in front of or blocking the detector. After the coach airs out, reset the detector.
If the problem persists, contact the local emergency services to check the motorhome for carbon monoxide (CO) and or liquid propane (LP) levels and have the monitor serviced as soon as possible by a qualified service technician.
Troubleshooting the CO/LP Detector
A chirping sound will indicate a low coach battery. Run the chassis engine, motorhome generator or plug the motorhome into shore power to charge the coach batteries.
Emergency Exit
The Emergency Exit is located at the dining area (Image 46.2) and/or rear of the motorhome and is marked by the label shown. Open the window and exit the motorhome in case of an Emergency.
You may also exit the motorhome by the main entry door or the doors located in the driver's cab area.
Window Operation
The motorhome windows may be opened by pulling slightly on the latch to release the window and slide the glass open. Don't forget to close the windows in case of rain.
When driving or operating the generator, you should keep the windows in the area of the generator and exhaust closed to prevent the entry of exhaust gases into the motorhome.
