• Keep a weil stocked first aid kit handy.
• Keep a tool box handy ..
• Check tires often while traveling. Inside rear duals should
receive special attention, as these tires may go flat and not
be noticed. Running a flat on an inside dual could lead to
a tire fire that would be extremely difficult to extinguish.
Make it a habit to check tire pressures before each trip,
and when refueling give each tire a sharp rap on the tread
surface with a piece of pipe or simil.ar object. Properly
infalted tires produce a "bung" sound when rapped. If the
tire is flat, the sound will be a dull "thud".
OVERHEATING
The engine and cooling system on your veh icle shou Id be
operated and serviced as recommended in your Chassis
Operator's Manual.
WINDSHIELD DEFROST - COMFORT CONTROL
During winter months, it is important to keep the wind·
shield clear and keep the passenger compartment at
a comfortable temperature while on the road. This can be
done by use of the proper combination of heater and
defroster controls.
12-VOL T FUSE REPLACEMENT
If part of your vehicle electrical system should fail while
on the road, check the replacement circuit fuses located
in the automotive circuit. These are automotive-type fuses
available at most service stations. Refer to the ELECTRICAL
section for information on living area 12-volt fuses.
TIRES
Your motor home is equipped with premiumijrade truck
tires. Under normal circumstances and with proper mainten·
ance, you should receive thousands of miles of trouble·
free service.
'
If you have a flat tire, see your Chassis Operator's Manual
for tire changing insturctions. Remember that your motor
home is extremely heavy. The wheel lugs are tightened
to 480 - 500 foot·pounds. and are very difficult to remove.
Each tire and wheel weighs about 90 pounds and is
difficult to handle. Whenever possible, obtain road service.
Attempt to change tires yourself under emergency conditions
only.

EMERGENCY START SYSTEM (Optional)

your motor home. This permits using auxiliary battery power
to aid in starting the motor home engine if the vehicle battery
has discharged.
When this occurs (indicated by one or more clicking sounds
