LOADING
· Store or secure all loose items inside the
motor home before traveling. Possible over-
looked items such as canned goods or small
appliances on the countertop, cooking pans
on the range, or free-standing furniture items
can become dangerous projectiles during a
sudden stop or evasive maneuver.
· Be aware of GVWR, GAWR and individual
load limit on each tire or set of duals. (See
"Loading the Motor Home" in Section 4.)
· Never load the motor home in excess of the
gross vehicle weight rating or the gross axle
weight rating for either axle.
NOTE: Your motor home's load capacity is
designated by weight, not by volume, so
you cannot necessarily use all available
space when loading your motor home.
See page 4-1 for more information.
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
wiring.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION
WARNING
Some components in this vehicle con-
tain formaldehyde based adhesives
which may release formaldehyde
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 emission from these prod-
ucts.
IMPORTANT
To aid in dissipation, ventilate the vehicle by
opening all windows and circulating 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 you 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.
