Contact your dealer for assistance in determining whether a separate braking system is rec-
ommended for your towing and traveling safety. Failure to follow these instructions will
create a safety hazard and may result in an accident.
Maintenance
Keep the hitch clean along with your general frame maintenance.
At the beginning of the season, and monthly or thereafter, clean the inside of the
receiver tube with a wire brush and spray with a silicone spray.
Always remove the utility mount from the receiver when it is not in use. This will
help prevent the utility mount from rusting to the tube.
Periodically check the bolts for tightness. They need to be torqued to the proper
setting (refer to your Chassis Guide).
Refer to the chassis manual for detail on hitch specifications and towing guide-
lines.
Power Entrance Step
The electric door step opens automatically when the screen door is opened. Constant 12-volt
power to the electric step is supplied through a circuit breaker.
LOOK BEFORE ENTERING OR EXITING YOUR MOTOR HOME!
When opening the door from the outside, make sure you are not obstruct-
ing the path of the entrance step. Step deployment takes approximately
two seconds. Keep hands and fingers clear while extending or retracting.
Look before you exit. Make sure the steps are fully deployed before
exiting the motor home. Stepping on a partially extended step can cause
damage to the step frame.
Entrance Door
Always hold onto the entrance door when opening or closing it. Damage caused because
you failed to do so is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
Make sure the entrance door is completely closed and locked when traveling.
Locking the door helps prevent it from opening unintentionally and keeps in-
truders from your recreation vehicle.
The entrance screen door may be equipped with a slide panel that allows access to the en-
trance door handle and locks. The entrance door may also be equipped with both a regular
door lock and a dead bolt lock.
Keys
Several keys are provided when you purchase your vehicle. Most keys have an individual
key number stamped on the plate. Record these key numbers and keep the information in a
safe place. You can order a key blank from your dealer to have duplicate keys made. If you
lose the keys, contact your dealer or a locksmith for assistance.
Maintenance
Locks on entrance and baggage doors need biannual lubrication using a light coat of silicone
spray. Conditions such as rain, salt, dust and pollution may increase the maintenance needs.
