CARE & MAINTENANCE
Dispose of the drained liquid in an environ-
mentally responsible manner, such as taking to a
waste oil disposal.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMS
Refer to your chassis operating guide for in-
formation and precautions on filling, servicing
and checking the fluid level.
CAUTION
When refilling the coolant system of
a vehicle equipped with a rear auxil-
iary automotive heater and motoraid
water heater, be sure to allow for
additional coolant capacity of the
heater and its supply and return
hoses.
NOTE: Chevy chassis use a special long-life
coolant (LLC) that is a bright pink/or-
ange color. Refill only with LLC to main-
tain the special properties of this
coolant. Freightliner diesel chassis own-
ers refer to your Freightliner manual for
proper coolant and diesel engine addi-
tive recommendations.

TIRES

Low air pressure results in tire overloading
and abnormal wear and also affects handling and
fuel economy. Obtain proper inflation pressures
from your chassis operating guide or tire manu-
facturer.
WARNING
Make sure all replacement tires are of
the same size and ply rating as those
installed as original equipment.
See the Vehicle Certification Label affixed to
the rear edge of the driver's door for tire infor-
mation.

SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of
this vehicle was factory aligned using highly ac-
curate equipment prior to delivery to the dealer-
ship. However, we recommend that alignment be
checked and adjusted, if necessary, after you
have fully loaded the motor home according to
your personal needs. Thereafter, the alignment
should be periodically inspected to help prevent
uneven tire wear.
Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may in-
dicate worn or misaligned suspension or steering,
unbalanced tire or other tire/suspension problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/
suspension parts or by incidents which happen
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole or
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may
also cause the vehicle to "pull" to the right or left.
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle's suspen-
sion and steering components periodically for
misalignment or wear.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
can lead to annoying vibrations and uneven tread
wear such as cupping and flat spots. Tires may
need to be balanced if uneven wear is detected or
if ride comfort decreases noticeably.
See your chassis operating guide for further
information.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
AND WIPERS
See your chassis operating guide for recom-
mendations and precautions regarding washers
and wipers.

LIGHTS

All exterior lights should be checked for prop-
er operation each time the vehicle is prepared for
a trip. Any bulbs which fail to light should be
