to the Chassis Owner's Mannal.
Your motor home is equipped withABS anti-lock air brakes. Air brakes are
more sensitive than hydraulic brakes. Practice stopping in a safe, unobstructed
area until you get the feel of the brake pedal.
The front air pressure gauge on the instrument panel indicates front brake
system air pressure. The rear air pressure gauge indicates rear brake system air
pressure. Please note that the vehicle will not move until aiL- pressure is
sufficient to release the brake safety springs. The gauges must indicate a
minimum of 60 psi on the gauges before the motor home can be moved. A dash
indicator will light and a buzzer will sound until the proper operating pressure
is reached.
