completely forward to the radiator cover to
ensure an air-tight seal.
• Press the rear end of the cover down and turn
the hex wrench to the right (clockwise) until
the latch pulls the cover downward and stops.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

Refer to your chassis operating guide for in-
formation and precautions on filling, servicing
and checking the fluid level.
NOTE: Your chassis engine cooling system is
filled with special extended-life coolant
that is not the same as common anti-
freeze available at retail outlets.
The coolant system MUST be refilled or
topped up with the same type of coolant
as equipped to maintain the special long-
life properties.
Workhorse chassis use GM Dexcool
LLC, which is a bright, pink/orange
color.
Ford chassis use Ford Premium Gold
(GO 5), which is a golden color.
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.

TIRES

Low air pressure results in tire overloading
and abnormal wear and also affects handling and
9-8
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 lower inside of the driver's door for tire
information.
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.
