CAUTION
When refilling the coolant system of
a vehicle equipped with a rear auxil-
iary automotive heater and motoraid
water heater, be sure to allow for
additional coolant capacity of the
heater and its supply and return
hoses.
TIRES
Low air pressure results in tire overloading
and abnormal wear and also affects handling and
fuel economy. Obtain proper inflation pressures
from your chassis operating guide or tire manu-
facturer.
WARNING
Make sure all replacement tires are of
the same size and ply rating as those
installed as original equipment.
See the Vehicle Certification Label affixed
to the rear edge of the driver's door for tire infor-
mation.
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, we recommend that align-
ment be checked and adjusted, if necessary, after
you have fully loaded the motor home according
CARE & MAINTENANCE
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 steer-
ing, 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 suspen-
sion and steering components periodically for
misalignment or wear.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
can lead to annoying 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 operating guide for further
information.
FRONT AIR SPRINGS - Workhorse Chassis
Some workhorse chassis are equipped with air
bags inside the front suspension springs. See your
Workhorse owner's manual for inspection in-
structions and air pressure specifications.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS AND
WIPERS
See your chassis operating guide for recom-
mendations and precautions regarding washers
and wipers.
LIGHTS
All exterior lights should be checked for prop-
er operation each time the vehicle is prepared for
a trip. Any bulbs which fail to light should be
checked and replaced, when necessary, with a
new bulb of the same size. A failure of more than
one light, such as both taillights not operating,
may indicate a burned out fuse. Check fuse and
