Fleetwood 1999 American Tradition Parts And Service Manual page 52

The engine is equipped with a block heater to aid in cold-
weather starting. Plug-in connections for the engine block
heater are located in the electrical shore cord compartment.
Engine oil pressure must be indicated on the gauge within 15
seconds after starting.
When starting a cold engine, increase the engine speed
(RPM) slowly to be sure adequate lubrication is available to
the bearings and to allow the oil pressure to stabilize.
Idle the engine 3 to 5 minutes at 1000 RPM before operating
with a load. Check the oil pressure indicator(s), temperature
indicator(s), and other gauges often to make sure they are
operating correctly. '
The motor home will not move until the air brakes and sus-
pension systems are sufficiently full of air. Normal brake
system air pressure is 90-120 psi.

2. Pull out on the Parking Brake knob to engage the parking

down. Increase this time if there has been extended hot
weather running.
