Engine Block Heater Switch
on forward left bedroom wall
To Use the Engine Heater
With the shoreline cord plugged into a shore-
line hookup, turn on the engine heater power cord
switch on the bedroom wall on the driver's side
of the coach.
If a shoreline hookup is not available, just start
the auxiliary generator to provide power to the
engine heater.
REMEMBER! Turn the engine heater power
switch off after starting the engine. The heater
will keep operating for as long as it is supplied
with electricity. If the switch is left on, the engine
heater will come on each time you hook up the
shoreline cord or start the generator.

PARKING BRAKES

Chevy or Ford Chassis:
The parking brake pedal is located to the left
of the foot service brake.
To set the parking brake, press the service
brake pedal firmly with your right foot while you
apply the parking brake with your left foot. The
BRAKE warning light will go on as soon as you
start to press the parking brake pedal. The brake
will not prevent the vehicle from moving unless
you push it down firmly and fully. Remove your
foot from the service brake pedal and make sure
there is no vehicle movement.
To release the parking brake, apply the service
brake with your right foot and hold the parking
2-4
brake pedal down with your left foot while you
pull the release lever. The release lever is located
above the brake pedal.
NOTE: On some Chevy chassis the parking
brakes are applied by pulling outward on
the large, diamond shaped knob on the
dash to the right of the steering column.
Push the knob in to release the parking
brakes.
Never drive your vehicle with the parking
brake set as this will reduce parking brake effec-
tiveness and cause excessive wear.
Optional 16,500 lb. GVWR Chevy Chassis:
This chassis is equipped with an automati-
cally applied parking brake that actuates when
the shift lever is moved to the Park position.
NOTE: Some Chevy chassis may have parking
brakes that are applied by pulling out-
ward on a large diamong-shaped knob
on the dash to the right of the steering
column. Push the knob in to release the
parking brakes.

Freightliner Diesel Chassis:

The parking brakes are applied by pulling out-
ward on the large diamond-shaped knob on the
dash to the right of the steering column. Push the

Use the parking brakes whenever the vehicle
is parked. Never try to drive the vehicle with the
park brake applied. This can cause excessive
wear on the brakes and may damage the transmis-
sion.
