installed with the diaphragm vent facing
downward. Regulators are equipped with a
protective cover. Make sure that the regulator

in place to minimize vent blockage, which
couldresult in excessivegas pressure causing
fire or explosion.
• The following warning label is located in the
cooking area to remind you to provide an
adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.
DANGER
All pilot lights, appliances, and their
ignitors (see operating instructions)
shall be turned off before refueling of
motor fuel tanks and/or propane
containers. Can cause ignition of
flammable vapors, which can lead to a
fire or explosion and result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Propane gas containers, gasoline, or
other flammable liquids shall not be
placed or stored onboard the vehicle
because a fire or explosion may result.
Propane gas containers are equipped
with safety valves, which relieve
excessivepressure bydischarginggas
to the atmosphere. Failure to comply
could result in death or serious injury.

SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Unlikehomes,the amountofoxygen supply is
limited due to the sizeof the recreational vehicle,
and proper ventilation when using the cooking
appliance(s) avoids dangers of asphyxiation. It is
especially important that cooking appliances not
be used for comfort heating, as the danger of
asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is
used for long periods of time. Failure to comply
could result in death or serious injury.
PROPANE GAS LEAKS
Check propane gas system for leaks yearly, or
as necessary.
The following label is located in the vehicle
near the range area. If you smell gas within the
vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the
procedures listed.
PROPANE GAS LEAK
DETECTOR
Your coach is equipped with a Propane Gas
Leak Detector, similar to the one shown below.
The leak detector sounds an alarm if an unsafe
amount of propane gas is present inside the
coach.
DANGER
Do not use gas cooking appliances for
comfort heating. Can lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can lead to
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Gascookingappliancesneedfreshairfor
safe operation.
Before operating:
Openventsorwindowsslightlyor turnon
exhaust fan prior to using cooking
appliance. Gas flames consume oxygen,
which should be replaced to ensure
proper combustion. Improper use can
result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
IF YOU SMELL PROPANE
1. Extinguish any open flames and all
smoking materials.
2. Shut off the propane supply at the
container valve(s) or propane supply
connection.
3. Do not touch electrical switches.
4. Open doors and other ventilating
openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the propane system checked
and leakage source corrected before
using again.

Power Connection
ThePropaneGasLeakDetector is powered by
the house batteries. If the House/Coach Battery
Disconnect switch is shut off or the battery cable
is disconnected from the batteries, the alarm will
notwork. The PropaneGas Leak Detectorfuse or
circuit breaker is located in the 12-volt house
electrical load center.
Because the Propane Gas Leak Detector is
connected to the house battery, it is always
drawing a small amount of current. Even though
thiscurrentdrawisslight, it coulddrainthehouse
battery during storage periods when the house
battery will not be charged regularly by the
engine or shoreline.
Replacement
When replacing this alarm, we recommend
replacing only with the same model, or with one
that is also listed for RV application. We
recommend obtaining a replacement from your
Winnebago Industries®dealer.

CARBON MONOXIDE
WARNING
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust and ventilation
system. It is recommended that the exhaust
system and body be inspected by a qualified
motorhome service center:
• Each time the vehicle is serviced for an oil
change.
• Whenever a change in the sound of the
exhaust system is noticed.
• Whenever the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle’s
ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet
grill clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions
at all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED
VEHICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR
AN EXTENDED PERIOD.
Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a
garage, except to move vehicle into or out of the
area.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
Your coach is equipped with a Carbon
Monoxide(CO) Alarm, whichhas asensor that is
designed to detect toxic carbon monoxide gas
fumes resulting from incomplete combustion of
fuel. It will detect CO gas from any combustion
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD: DONOTusean
open flame to test for gas leaks. When
testing for gas line leaks with a soapy
water solution, DO NOT use a detergent
containing ammonia or chlorine. These
substances may generate a chemical
reaction causing corrosion to gas lines,
resulting in dangerous leak conditions.
Death or serious injury can result.
WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas.
Death or serious injury can result.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A dry chemical Fire Extinguisher is located
near the sliding entrance door.
We recommend that you become thoroughly
familiarwith the operatinginstructions displayed
on the side of the Fire Extinguisher and in the
information supplied in your InfoCase.
We also recommend that you inspect the Fire
Extinguisher for proper charge at least once a
month in accordance with National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA)
recommendations as stated on the label.
If the charge is insufficient, the Fire
Extinguisher must be replaced.
Replacement
If for any reason you must replace the Fire
Extinguisher, the replacement must be the same
type and size as the one originally supplied in
your coach. We recommend obtaining a
replacement only from your Winnebago
Industries®dealer or a reliable RV parts supplier.
ELECTRICAL
• Careless handling of electrical components
can be fatal. Never touch or use electrical
componentsor appliances while feetarebare,
while hands are wet, or while standing in
water or on wet ground.
• Improper grounding of the vehicle can cause
personal injury. Do not plug the utility power
cord into an outlet which is not grounded and

for which it is not designed.
• Do not attach an extension cord to the utility
power cord.
• Do not use any electrical device that has had
the ground pin removed.
• Avoidoverloadingelectricalcircuits.Replace
fuses or circuit breakers with those of the
same size and amperage rating only. Never
use a higher rated fuse or breaker.
• Use caution when handling or working near
electrical storage batteries. Always remove
jewelry and wear protective clothing and eye
covering. Avoid creating sparks.
LOADING
• Store or secure all loose items inside the
motorhome before traveling. Possible
overlooked items such as canned goods or
small appliances on the countertop, cooking
pans on the range, or free-standing furniture
items can become dangerous projectiles
during a sudden stop.
• Be aware of GVWR, GAWR, and individual
load limit on each tire or set of duals (See
“Loading the Vehicle” in Section 11 -
Miscellaneous).
NOTICE
Do not test the fire extinguisher by
discharging it. Partial discharge can
cause leakage of pressure or contents,
which would render the unit inoperative
when needed. When using the fire
extinguisher,aim the sprayatthe base of
the fire.
