VEHICLE OPERATION
Flat Tire
If you have a flat tire while operating your motorhome,
slow-down gradually to prevent loss of control, and pull
to the shoulder or the side of the road. Stop on a level
paved surface and engage the parking brake. Refer to the
following steps to change the flat tire:
1. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
2. Place wheel chocks in front and rear of tire
located on the opposite side of the flat tire.
3. Immediately contact a qualified roadside repair
service because your motorhome is not equipped
with a spare tire.
4. If a roadside service is unavailable, inspect the flat
tire to determine whether you can service or
repair it.
5. If you can service or repair the flat tire, you must
raise the vehicle using the jack.
6. Consult the chassis manual in the Motorhome
Information Bag to locate the jack and to
determine the proper jack placement locations
on the chassis.
7. If the ground is soft or unstable, carefully move
the motorhome to a safe location before
attempting to lift with the jack.
8. Use a jacking board for stability on loose or soft
ground.
9. Raise the motorhome with the jack according to
the instructions in the chassis manual.
10. Never allow any portion of anyone's body to be
under the vehicle at any time while raising or
supporting the motorhome with the jack.
11. Before resuming travel with a new or repaired
tire, ensure the lug nuts are tightened in the
proper sequence and to the torque specified in
the chassis manual. Use a torque wrench to
ensure the specified torque is achieved. Recheck
and retorque the wheel lug nuts after 25 and 100
miles (40 and 160 km) of operation.
When the Vehicle is Disabled
Emergency Starting
Do not push or tow the motorhome in an attempt to start
it. The powertrain is not designed to transmit torque to
turn the engine over for starting.
Attempting to pull or tow the motorhome to start
may result in major drivetrain component failure or
damage.
Jump Starting/Boosting
Refer to the chassis manual in the Motorhome
Information bag for instructions.
If the motorhome breaks down on the roadway, pull off
the road and stop, engage the parking brake, turn on the
hazard warning lights, and chock the wheels if you are on
uneven or unstable ground.
Call an approved towing service and provide them with
the vehicle make, weight, length, width, and height to
ensure they dispatch an appropriately sized truck to tow
your motorhome to a qualified repair facility.
BATTERY BOOST WARNING:
Consult the chassis manual in the Motorhome
Information Bag for proper jump starting/ boosting
procedures.
