CHASSIS SERVICE &
MAINTENANCE
Consult the appropriate sections in your
chassis operating guide for specific information
regarding operating safety, service recommenda-
tions and maintenance schedules for the chassis
section of your motor home.
ENGINE ACCESS
HOOD
Insert the tamper-resistant hood key into the
hood locks and turn them to the right (clockwise)
to unlock the hood.
Swing the hood outward and down. Do not let
hood drop.
To close the hood, lift and swing inward. Turn
key locks to the left (counterclockwise) to lock
hood closed.
With the hood open, the engine oil dipstick,
oil fill, radiator fill, power steering reservoir and
windshield washer reservoir are accessible.
ENGINE COVER
· Remove the beverage tray from the engine
cover. Remove the drawer to expose the wing
nut fasteners that hold the tray to the motor
cover.
· Insert the supplied hex wrench into the hole
in the lower rear edge of the engine cover.

Unlatch
· Turn the hex wrench to the left (counter-
clockwise) to unlatch.
· Lift the rear end of the cover upward and pull
the cover from the opening.
· To reinstall the 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.
· Refasten the beverage tray to the motor
cover.
Removal of the engine cover allows service
access to the engine air cleaner and other engine
parts.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Refer to your chassis operating guide for in-
formation and precautions on filling, servicing
and checking the fluid level. Some chassis also
allow access to the engine air filter element.
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.
