WARNING: Test smoke alarm operation

Your alarm requires one 9 volt battery. Under

approximately one year.
Simple maintenance
Vacuum every six months to help keep the
unit working efficiently. Open cover and
gently vacuum interior of detector. Keep
vacuum nozzle from touching the unit.
Problems are indicated by two events:
1. The alarm does not sound upon pressing
the test button.
2. The operating light remains steadily on or
off (i.e. does not flash approximately
once every 45 seconds, when the unit it
not in alarm).
Try the following:
1. Inspect for obvious damage.
2. Visually check that unit contains
recommended battery type.
3. Check that battery is properly connected.
4. Gently vacuum as recommended above.
5. Replace battery.
If these procedures do not correct the
problem, do NOT attempt repairs. Contact
the manufacturer.
SECURITY
Chassis number
Record the chassis number and the factory
job number of your motorhome, and keep
them in a safe place at home.
The chassis number is a 17 digit number,
beginning with the letters VF3, and is found
stamped on a plate visible through a window
in the bottom left hand corner of the
windscreen, and also on a plate under the
bonnet attached to the bonnet closing
crossmember. (This plate also contains the
permissible weight data).
The factory job number is an alphanumeric
code consisting of a letter followed by four
numbers, and is found on a label inside the
glove box.
Motorhome Theft
The theft of a motorhome can occur in the
most unlikely circumstances; from a
motorway service area, even from an owner’s
driveway.
Secure all windows and doors when your
motorhome is unoccupied even if only for a
short length of time.
Additional security
Consider fitting any device which might deter
or prevent intrusion by thieves. A wheel lock
prevents removal of the wheel.
Window etching of the chassis number is a
cost effective deterrent.
