Maintenance; Formaldehyde Information; Carbon Monoxide Warning - Winnebago 2003 adventurer Owner's Manual

NOTE: Your motor home's load capacity is des-
ignated by weight, not by volume, so you
cannot necessarily use all available
space when loading your motor home.

MAINTENANCE

· Do not remove the radiator cap while engine
and radiator are still hot. Always check cool-
ant level visually at the see-through coolant
reservoir.
· Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by
a jack.
· Do not mix different construction types of
tires on the vehicle such as radial, bias or belt-
ed tires, as vehicle handling may be affected.
Replace tires with exact size, type and load
range.
· Do not attempt to start the vehicle by hot wir-
ing.

FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION

WARNING
Some components in this vehicle
contain formaldehyde based adhe-
sives which may release formalde-
hyde fumes into the air for an
unknown period of time until total
dissipation occurs. Individuals who
are allergic to formaldehyde gas
fumes may experience irritation to
eyes, ears, nose and throat. Reaction
in infants may be more severe.
Although long range effects are not
well understood, testing to date has
not revealed any serious health
effects in humans at the level of emis-
sion from these products.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: To aid in dissipation, ventilate the vehi-
cle by opening all windows and circulat-
ing the air with a fan.
CARBON MONOXIDE
WARNING
WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
If your suspect that exhaust fumes are entering
the passenger compartment, have the cause deter-
mined and corrected as soon as possible. If you
must drive under these conditions, drive only
with ALL WINDOWS FULLY OPENED.
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly main-
tained engine exhaust and ventilation system. It
is recommended that the exhaust system and
body be inspected by a qualified motor home ser-
vice center.
· Each time the vehicle is raised for an oil
change.
· Whenever a change in the sound of the ex-
haust 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 VE-
HICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD.
Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a
garage, except to move vehicle in or out of area.
When vehicle is stopped in an UNCONFINED
area with the engine running for any more than a
short period, adjust heating or cooling system to
force outside air into the vehicle as follows:
1. Set fan to medium or high speed and vent
control to air.
