One of these rules requires that if any energy manage- ment system is used the average total load current for the system over a 3 hour period be limited to 80% of the service rating. For that reason the 50 amp EMS calculates the average running current for the system and, if it exceeds 80% of the service rating, the EMS sheds loads to reduce the aver- age current below that limit.

The suspension control arms are attached to the frame through bushings, which require no lubrication. The suspension ride height is preset and will maintain the proper ride height automatically, regardless of the load.
- Page 247 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AIR DRYER The air dryer is located underneath the motorhome next to the transmission. The air dryer removes moisture from the compressed air system. This is important because if air con- tains moisture it can freeze and prevent operation of brakes or other pneumatic operated items.
- Page 248 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIR COUPLER - UNIVERSAL Provided for convenience is a remote air supply coupler. This is located in the roadside LP gas compartment. This universal female fit- ting will accept several types of 1/4” ID male air fittings, including type C automotive.
- Page 249 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RIDE HEIGHT The ride height valves inflate or deflate the air bags keeping the VALVES motorhome at proper suspension height throughout the load range. There are Adjusting three ride height control valves used on the motorhome. Two are used on the rear drive axle, these control rear suspension height and left or right tilt of the motorhome.
- Page 250 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSPENSION AIR Air ride springs are available in single, double and triple convolution types RIDE BAGS plus reversible sleeve models for virtually every conceivable heavy-duty vehicle suspension application. 1.

A simple mechanical explanation of what occurs when a brake application is made is as follows: The air system supplies air to the foot brake, this is called a treadle valve. Pushing down on the treadle valve supplies an air charge signal to a brake chamber.
- Page 253 Brake adjustments are part of normal maintenance of the motorhome. Brake adjustments are not covered by Holiday Rambler. WARNING: Brake lining may contain asbestos material and should only be serviced by qualified service technicians who are trained in the appropriate precautionary procedures.
- Page 254 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Based on the speed sensor input, the ECU detects impending wheel lock and operates the ABS Modulator Valves required for proper control. The Modulator Valves can be operated in the air, release or hold modes to regulate air pressure to the brake chambers.
- Page 255 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BRAKE The motorhome air braking system is equipped with several back-up safe- SYSTEMS - ty systems and warning alarms in the event of an air system failure. Back Up Refinements to air braking systems have been instituted with safety as top priority.
- Page 256 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS The correct wheel alignment promotes longer tire wear and ease of handling while minimiz- ing the strain on the steering system and the axle components. Camber: Camber, as shown below, is vertical tilt of wheel as viewed from the front of the vehicle. This is machined into the axle when manufac- tured and is not adjustable.
- Page 257 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Caster Adjustments: Caster is the fore and aft tilt (toward the front or rear of the motorhome) of the steering kingpin as viewed from the side of the motorhome. “Positive” caster is the tilt of the top end of the kingpin toward the rear of the motorhome.
- Page 258 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHOCK The shock absorber by definition is a hydraulic device used to dampen ABSORBERS suspension/body movement. The road surface irregularities or roughness is compensated for by the shock absorber. The roadmaster chassis incorporates the “Bilstein” shock in the design of the exclusive air glide suspension sys- tem.
- Page 259 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LEVELING SYSTEM The three point leveling system features a multiple warning system with Hydraulic Leveling flashing light and a bong alarm to alert you of the jack position. The system System (RVA) also features a remote control panel located next to the driver seat. The tor- sion stress is significantly reduced during proper operating procedures.
- Page 260 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manual Leveling When manually operating the leveling system, always lower the front jack first. The front jack acts as a pivot point for chassis and reduces torsion stress on the body of the motorhome. NOTE: In the event the front of the motorhome is high and does not require elevating, it will be necessary to raise front of motorhome a minimum of 1/2 inch to allow jacks to act as a pivot point.
- Page 261 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Automatic Leveling The ALL JACKS RETRACT mode or MANUAL mode can be engaged System at any time during automatic leveling operation. Prior to automatic leveling it is essential that there is no movement in the motorhome. To extend the jacks automatically proceed as follows: •...
- Page 262 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAUTION: Do not move motorhome while jacks are still in con- tact with ground or extended, damage to jacks can occur. Do not raise any wheels off the ground, which could result in damage to the motorhome. Bottom green light will begin blinking and all jacks will retract.
- Page 263 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Adding Fluid: 1. An indication of a system needing fluid is a chime sounding when turning corners. Use Dexron III automatic transmission fluid. 2. Extend any jack 6 inches from the full retracted position. All other jacks should be fully retracted. 3.
- Page 264 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manual Air Leveling Operation: • Air leveling will operate faster if engine is running. • Set parking brake. • Transmission must be in neutral. • Press the AIR button once. AIR indicator light will glow steady. • Individual RAISE and LOWER buttons (UP or DOWN ARROWS) will add or dump air from suspension air bags to raise or lower coach for leveling.
- Page 265 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ENGINE - The diesel engine operates differently from the conventional gasoline GENERAL engine. Gasoline engines control engine speed using a butterfly throttle INFORMATION plate controlling air/fuel mixture inlet flow. As the throttle plate opens, vacuum created by the piston velocity draws the metered fuel/air charge into the combustion chamber, then ignited from a controlled electric ignition source.
- Page 266 Petroleum Institute (API) specification CH-4 which can be used as an alter- native to CES 20071 is recommended. Lubricating oils meeting API CG-4 specifications may be used at a reduced drain interval. Holiday Rambler uses Pennzoil 15W-40 heavy duty engine lubricating oil that meets Cummins specifications.
- Page 267 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The use of synthetic oils should not be used to extend drain intervals. Extended oil change intervals can decrease engine life and possibly affect the engine warranty. Oil additives should not be used unless the oil supplier or oil manufactur- er has been consulted and provided positive evidence or data establishing sat- isfactory performance in the engine.
- Page 268 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from difficulty in starting to increasing fuel consumption and reducing power output. When the oil is too thin, oil consumption is increased as well as wear from the metal to metal contact. This will also increase engine noise.

- Page 269 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ENGINE General guidelines for shutting the engine down are fairly simplistic. SHUTDOWN Allow the engine to idle 3 to 5 minutes after a full load operation. This allows adequate cool down of pistons, cylinders, bearings and turbocharger components.
- Page 270 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- level at all times, resulting in increased cooling efficiency the coolant level should be at or above the appropriate mark on the reservoir tank when the system is cold. • Check the coolant level daily or when refueling. •...
- Page 271 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Use the correct Fleetguard coolant filter to maintain the rec- ommended SCA concentration in the system. Maintain the cor- rect concentration by changing the service coolant filter at each oil drain interval. The oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, warning lamps and other safety lamps should be checked daily to ensure proper operations.
- Page 272 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- startups. When normal operating temperatures are not obtained moisture may get trapped in the valve housing resulting in rust, leading to insufficient oper- ation of the exhaust brake. Some problems you may encounter with the exhaust brake include, but are not limited to, will not activate or deactivate, intermittent on/off opera- tions or actuates with the switch off.
- Page 273 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TRANSMISSION - The Allison World transmission incorporates the World Transmission Shift Selector Electronic Control (WTEC) system. The system is compromised of five major components connected by a wiring harness: the electronic control unit (ECU), engine throttle position sensor, three speed sensors, remote shift selector (keypad) and the control module.
- Page 274 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • The MODE button will enable secondary shift point to be selected. This is commonly referred to as “Economy”. It is further used by the serv- ice technician to access diagnostic codes when troubleshooting. The diagnostic circuitry must be enabled to display. Transmission The electronic control system is programmed to inform the operator of a - Check Light...
- Page 275 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Diagnostic Codes The diagnostic codes are numerical representations of malfunctions in the transmission operations. Each code is a two digit main code and a two digit sub code. The codes, when detected, are logged in the ECU memory. These codes will fall in two classes: active and inactive.
- Page 276 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. The CHECK TRANS light comes on frequently. The Importance of Proper Fluid Levels The transmission fluid cools, lubricates and transmits hydraulic power. It is important that the proper fluid level be maintained at all times. If the fluid level is too low the converter and clutches do not receive an adequate supply of fluid.
- Page 277 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: To correctly check the transmission fluid level using the dipstick the transmission fluid must be at operating tempera- ture. The oil level sensor method of checking the fluid level compensates for transmission fluid temperature between 60ºC - 104ºC (140ºF - 220ºF).
- Page 278 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAUTION: Low or high fluid level can cause overheating and irregular shift patterns. These conditions can damage the trans- mission if not corrected. Hot Check • The fluid level rises as the temperature increases. The fluid must be hot to ensure an accurate check.
- Page 279 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Routine Maintenance Recommendations: 1. Change the fuel filter at every oil change interval. 2. Change the fuel-water separator filter every 12-18 months or every 25,000 miles. Fuel/Water separator is located in rear engine compart- FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR ment on left and right of frame. If “water in fuel” light is (ISC Engine) illuminated, fuel filter will need to be drained.
- Page 280 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The correct adjustment technique, with a full tank of fuel, is to start with the full adjustment screw completely clockwise. This should cause the reading to be above full. Adjust slowly counterclockwise until the full mark is reached.The intent is to always adjust downscale rather than upscale.
- Page 281 Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ on the output side of the pump. This is due to the hydraulic fluid flow of the pump. When a load is placed on the hydraulic pump such as turning the steering wheel, hydraulic fluid flow slows from hydraulic fluid restriction and creates pressure.
- Page 282 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thermo Valve The wax filled thermo valve is mounted at the top of the radiator sensing coolant temperature. The thermo valve controls the action of the switching valve. When the radiator is cool the hydraulic fluid is allowed to flow through the inlet and outlet ports of the thermo valve and return to the hydraulic reservoir.
