Electrical; Loading; Maintenance - Winnebago Suncruiser 1999 Owner's Manual

SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Most are lighter than air in their vapor state and
will only be detected when the area is closed up.
Glues and adhesives may exhaust hydrocarbon
vapors for months after they are applied. They
are easily activated by high temperatures. If you
close up an RV coach on a hot day, the chemicals
used in its construction may be detected for
months after the coach was manufactured.
Further Information
See the manufacturer's information entitled
"Your LP Gas Detector" in the Owner InfoCase
for further instructions on nuisance alarms and
care and testing of the LP gas detector.

ELECTRICAL

• Careless handling of electrical components
can be fatal. Never touch or use electrical
components or appliances while feet are bare,
while hands are wet, or while standing in wa-
ter or on wet ground.
• Improper grounding of the vehicle can cause
personal injury. Do not plug the utility power
cord into an outlet which is not grounded and
do not adapt the plug to connect to a recepta-
cle for which it is not designed.
• Do not attach an extension cord to the utility
power cord.
• Be sure that all electrical appliances to be
used contain 3-prong plugs for proper
grounding.
• Avoid overloading electrical circuits. Re-
place fuses or circuit breakers with those of
the same size and amperage rating only. Nev-
er use a higher rated fuse or breaker.
• Use caution when handling or working near
electrical storage batteries. Always remove
jewelry and wear protective clothing and eye
covering. Avoid creating sparks.

LOADING

tor home before traveling.

"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.

MAINTENANCE

• Do not remove the radiator cap while engine

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.

ing.
