To reinstall the engine cover, position the
front end of the cover first, then lower the rear
end. It is important to be sure the front edge is
pushed completely forward to the radiator
cover to ensure an air-tight seal.
•
Press the rear end of the cover down and turn
the hex wrench to the right (clockwise) until
the latch pulls the cover downward and stops.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Do not remove the radiator cap while engine
and radiator are still hot. Always check coolant
level visually at the see-through coolant
reservoir.
NOTE: Your chassis engine cooling system is
filled with special extended-life coolant
that is not the same as common anti-
freeze available at retail outlets.
The coolant system MUST be refilled or
topped up with the same type of coolant
as equipped to maintain the special long-
life properties.
CAUTION
When refilling the coolant system of a
vehicle equipped with a rear auxiliary
automotive heater and motoraid water
heater, be sure to allow for additional
coolant capacity of the heater and its
supply and return hoses.
Refer to your chassis manual for information
and precautions on filling, servicing and
checking the fluid level.
TIRES
Improper tire pressure can result in tire
overloading and abnormal wear and also affects
handling, ride characteristics and fuel economy.
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
WARNING
Make sure all replacement tires are of the
same size and ply rating as those
installed as original equipment.
See your Vehicle Certification Label for tire
information.
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of
this vehicle was factory aligned using highly
accurate equipment prior to delivery to the
dealership. However, alignment should be
checked and adjusted, after you have fully loaded
the motor home according to your personal
needs. Thereafter, the alignment should be
periodically inspected to help prevent uneven tire
wear.
Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may
indicate worn or misaligned suspension or
steering, unbalanced tire or other tire/suspension
problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/
suspension parts or by incidents which happen
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole or
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may
also cause the vehicle to "pull" to the right or left.
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle's
suspension and steering components periodically
for misalignment or wear.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
can lead to vibrations and uneven tread wear such
as cupping and flat spots. Tires may need to be
balanced if uneven wear is detected or if ride
comfort decreases noticeably.
See your chassis manual for further
information.
