• Avoid driving your vehicle through or over
combustible materials such as leaves, grass,
vegetation or stubble high enough to touch,
catch or collect on its hot exhaust system.
• Parking or idling should be done only in
an area where there are no combustible
materials under the vehicle.
!
WARNING
Do not park or idle the motor home over combustible
materials such as tall grass or dried leaves.
Combustible materials may catch fire from the hot
exhaust gases, soot or sparks that could escape
through corrosion holes or cracks. This is particularly
important if the exhaust system has not been properly
maintained.
NOTE
Be careful not to scratch the monitor or camera lenses
when cleaning. Use only household glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Wipe gently and dry thoroughly. Also, do
not spray glass cleaner directly on the monitor lens
located inside your vehicle, because the cleaner could
leak inside the unit and cause damage.
EXTERIOR SIDE CAMERA SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Refer to Owner's Information Package for
operating instructions.
BODY UNDERCOATING
Certain chassis and underbody components of
your motor home have been coated with an under-
coating material. This material is intended to
assist in protecting these components from corro-
sion or other effects of weather and road
conditions. Please be aware that certain areas of
the motor home do not have undercoating applied,
in keeping with good engineering practice, and to
meet the requirements of chassis manufacturers.
FUEL AND FUEL SYSTEMS
See the Chassis Operator's/Owner's
Guide/Manual in the Owner's Information
Package for chassis engine fuel recommenda-
tions. The standard generator is designed to run
on the same fuel as the chassis engine, or on
Propane. Consult the generator operating
instructions for special cautions about mainte-
nance with different types of fuels.
!
WARNING
When removing the fuel fill cap, rotate it slowly only
far enough to allow the pressure to release. After any
"hissing" sound stops, remove the cap completely.
Modern fuel systems may build up vapor pres-
sure within the tank as the fuel warms during
use or hot weather. Under certain conditions,
sudden release of this pressure when removing
the fuel cap can cause fuel to spray from the fill
opening, creating a fire hazard.
To protect the fuel system from excessive pres-
sure or vacuum, or from sudden release of pres-
sure, replace lost or damaged fuel fill caps with
caps of the same design which are available
from your Fleetwood motor home dealer.
Clean up fuel spills immediately. Fuel spilled on
the motor home could damage the exterior fin-
ish, and is a serious fire hazard.
NOTE
Fuel for the generator is taken from the main fuel tank
through a special feeder tube which is higher in the
tank than the feeder tube to the motor home engine.
This arrangement prevents the generator from run-
ning the motor home fuel tank dry.
Fuel Types and Driveability Issues
Your motor home's automotive fuel and emis-
sions systems are sophisticated and engineered to
meet Federal and State emissions standards. They
are sometimes sensitive to fuel types and blends,
particularly fuels blended for certain altitudes and
climates. Fuel suppliers provide customers with
the correct fuel for their location and seasonal
conditions. Sometimes, though, fuel blended for
winter is supplied during summer months.
