When The Vehicle Is Disabled; Overheating - Leisure Serenity Owner's Manual

Vehicle Operation
10. Never allow any portion of anyone's body or extremities to be under the Motorhome at any time during jacking or
while jacked.
11. Before resuming travel with a new or repaired tire, ensure the lug nuts are tightened in the proper sequence and to
the specified torque as set out in the chassis manual. A torque wrench must be used to establish the specified torque.
Recheck and re-torque the wheel lug nuts after 25 and 100 miles (40 and 160 km) of operation after loosening or
removing any lug nuts.

When the Vehicle is Disabled

1 . 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.
2 . Jump Starting
See chassis owner's manual for instructions.
3 . Break Down
If the Motorhome breaks down, it should be towed to a qualified repair facility for repair by an experienced and approved
towing service. If the Motorhome breaks down on the roadway, pull off the road and stop. Engage the parking brake
and turn on the hazard warning lights. Place chocks by the wheels if the Motorhome is not on level or stable ground.
Call an approved towing service to the Motorhome. Be sure to tell the towing service what kind of vehicle it is
and its weight, length, width and height. The towing company will then dispatch a proper sized tow truck for your
Motorhome.
BATTERY BOOST WARNING - Always consult the chassis manual for proper procedures for jump starting a Motorhome
with a dead battery.

Overheating

If the engine overheats while driving:
1. Pull to the side of the road and stop immediately.
2. Shut engine off.
3. Check for proper coolant level in the recovery tank. The coolant level should be between the "full" and "add" marks
on the tank.
4. If the coolant level is low:
● Check for leaks at hose connections, from the radiator or at the water pump. Make sure the belts are tight and
that the cooling fan is turning.
● Add coolant to the recovery tank as soon as possible.
● If coolant is being lost due to leaks; if the fan belt is broken or too loose; if the red warning light stays on - stop
the engine until the problem is corrected.
4. Once the temperature gauge returns to normal, resume driving, keeping an eye on the gauge. Do not resume driving
until the problem has been corrected and the temperature is normal.
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Scalding fluid and pressurized steam can blow out and cause
severe burns.
