Detectors

[g_man1146]

David B. ('02LXi, Smokey) is absolutely correct regarding testing
the LECO 3350 CO detector. They have a test button that when held in
for 10 seconds makes he detector sensitive to, and will sound off
when it senses butane.

LECO claims that theirs is the only one that can be field tested.
There may be others but my '90 Bird had a different unit that could
not be field tested. I don't know if it was factory installed or
installed by the first owner.

My '99 has the LECO unit and, as David says, can be tested with
butane. (I just did it, thanks David.)
Here is the link, if yours looks like this, test it.
