2.4 ASPHYXIATION
1.
Do not use portable fuel-burning equipment
including wood and charcoal grills and stoves in
the vehicle. The use of this equipment can
generate deadly carbon monoxide gas or cause
fires.
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
increases 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
or diesel engine and LP gas burner such as the
vehicle or generator engines and the range,
oven, refrigerator, furnace or water heater.
Position the vehicle so the wind blows the
engine exhaust fumes away. Provide ventila-
tion to the inside of the vehicle 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 confined 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
components in this vehicle and may release small
amounts of formaldehyde fumes into the vehicle for
an unknown 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 effects are not well
understood, testing to date has not revealed any
serious health effects in humans at the level of
emission from these products. Reduce the effects
of the formaldehyde fumes by keeping the unit well
ventilated.
1.
Read, understand and follow safety sign next to
stove:
2.
Use soapy water to check for leaks and watch
for bubbles. Do not use an open flame.
3.
Correct or repair leak(s) before using appliances
or vehicle again.
2.6 LP GAS LEAKS
IF YOU SMELL GAS
1.
Extinguish any open flame, pilot lights and all smoking
material.
2.
Do not touch electrical switches.
3.
Shut off the LP tank valve.
4.
Open doors, windows and roof vents.
5.
Leave the area until the odour is gone.
6.
Have the system checked for leaks and make the necessary
corrections and repairs.
