Emergency Towing - Fleetwood 2004 Flair Owner's Manual

are present. This may occur in traffic concentra-
tions or in campgrounds where other vehicles as
well as your motor home are contributing to the
carbon monoxide level in the surrounding air.
Sounding of the detector/alarm does not indicate
a faulty detector/alarm. The detector/alarm is
doing its job of warning you of potentially high
concentrations of carbon monoxide.
Test the CO detector/alarm after the motor home
has been in storage, before each trip, and at least
once a week during use. Please refer to the
materials included in your Owner's Information
Package.
EMERGENCY TOWING
The preferred emergency towing methods are
either an under reach wheel lift device or a flat bed
trailer. Most tow truck operators willing to tow
motor homes will be familiar with these devices.
Be prepared to give the tow truck operator at least
the following infOimation when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear. Towing from
the rear will cause serious overloading of the front
tires and suspension, possibly resulting in tire or front
suspension failure. The rear frame extensions are not
designed to withstand the load imposed by lifting from
the rear.

WARNING
DO NOT crawl under or place any part of your body
under a vehicle that is being lifted. Stand clear of all
towing equipment and the vehicle being lifted.
The vehicle must be towed from the front, either
on the rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy
duty dolly. Consult your Chassis Operator's/
Owner's Guide/Manual for any available
instructions. Contact the chassis assistance cen-
ter prior to calling a tow company to receive tow
instructions and possible assistance with coordi-
nating the tow.
To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the
disabled vehicle, if any.
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
3. Turn off LP gas appliances and the LP gas
tank valve.
4. Do not allow any person to ride in the
towed vehicle.
