Check your owner's manual for maintenance tips and service locations. -
Page 55: Safety Features
Engines, generators, and water heaters all emit exhausts that could possibly enter your coach. While unlikely, these systems may also develop leaks of diesel or propane gas. For your safety, the following items are standard on every Safari coach: Smoke Alarms Your coach is equipped with a smoke alarm that has been mounted on the ceiling of the galley area. -
Page 56: Carbon Monoxide Detector
Carbon Monoxide Detector Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, invisible gas that is an exhaust product from the engine, heaters, or furnace. It can be lethal. Your coach is designed to keep all exhausts from entering the interior. However, if CO exhausts do enter your coach, the detector will alert you of a potential problem. -
Page 57: Fire Extinguisher
Fire Extinguisher Each coach is equipped with a fire extinguisher located near the entry door. Be sure to learn correct operation of the fire extinguisher before an emergency arises. In order to keep the fire extinguisher in a safe and operable condition, inspect it regularly, having it recharged as needed. -
Page 58: Satellite Dish (Optional)
NOTE: If you are using the cable hookup, you must leave the antenna boost switch in the OFF position. Remember to lower the TV antenna before driving. This switch also controls whether the system is sending signals to the VCR from the antenna or a cable connection. -

WASTEWATER SYSTEMS - SECTION 5 OVERVIEW • 67 HOLDING TANKS • 67 ODOR CONTROL • 68 SEWER CONNECTION • 69 DRAINING THE TANKS • 69 USING A SEWER LINE • 70... -
Page 67: Overview
ASTE ATER YSTEMS VERVIEW The waste water holding system makes your coach a completely self-contained camping unit. You can use appliances and fixtures without a sewer hook-up while storing the waste until it is convenient to dispose of it. The system is designed to be trouble-free and to minimize odors. -
Page 68: Odor Control
The "grey water" tank is used to hold waste water from the galley sink and shower. Those drains should not be used to dispose of solid waste, although small amounts of food or similar debris will not harm the system. You should not use the drains to dispose of any caustic or corrosive liquids. -
Page 69: Sewer Connection
Clean the tanks after every trip. The grey water tank generally requires only an occasional rinsing. Do this by running clean water from the shower or galley sink to fill and then drain the tank. If an odor develops in the grey water system, fill the tank with a solution of water and baking soda. -
Page 70: Using A Sewer Line
Once the tanks have been cleaned, rinsed, and drained, the fluid levels should read empty at the monitor panel. If not, repeat the processes previously mentioned until both tanks read empty when drained. NOTE: Always drain the black tank first and follow with the grey tank. This will help to flush any solids left in the line after draining the black tank. -

Page 73: Overview
YSTEMS VERVIEW The electrical system in your Safari Trek provides maximum power with a minimum amount of effort and maintenance from the owner. Any appliance you would use in your home can be used in your coach within the amperage limits of the system. There are also features in place to prevent such problems as battery drain and circuit overload. -
Page 74: Vac System
WARNING: Do not connect the shore line to any source other than a RV approved outlet. Connecting your shore line to 30 amp outlets such as dryer or welder outlets in the home or well pumps on a farm will cause extreme damage to the electrical system of your coach and may cause severe injury. -
Page 75: Circuit Breakers And Gfci
SIMPLIFIED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Circuit Breakers And GFCI The 120 VAC system has two important safety mechanisms. First, a set of circuit breakers prevents any circuit from being overloaded. A breaker can be tripped as the result of a short circuit, a faulty appliance, or too many appliances being run on the same circuit. The system is divided into several separate circuits which decrease the load on each and allow other circuits to operate in the event one becomes inoperable. -
Page 76: Generator
WARNING: A circuit without a breaker presents a serious safety hazard. Never attempt to bypass the circuit breakers for any reason. Doing so will void the warranty both of your coach and any appliance on the circuit. The main breaker panel is labeled with the appliances and outlets on each circuit. The inverter contains its own circuit breaker, so power from it is not channeled through the main panel. -
Page 77: Power Transfer Switch
You can start your generator by using one of two generator switches. One is located on the Coach Monitor Panel. The other switch is located on the generator itself. Press the START button and hold it until the generator starts. A delay of up to five seconds is normal. -
Page 78: Inverter
Inverter WARNING: The coach batteries will drain much faster when not using external shore line or generator power. It is wise to conserve energy when your motor coach is using only inverter power. The inverter is located in the compartment in front of the driver's side rear wheel. It transforms 12 VDC into 120 VAC power usable by the major appliances. -
Page 79: Vdc System
This is more fully discussed in the next section. Chassis System The chassis electrical system is enhanced by Safari in several ways. The system provides power for starting the engine and also powers the leveler pump and generator. It is recharged by the 30 Amp alternator and a 20 watt solar panel and protected by a 250 Amp fuse. -
Page 80: Isolator
NOTE: Solar Panel will not be immediately operational following extended periods of inside storage. After exposure to the sun, the trickle-charge process will begin. Isolator Power from the alternator is channeled through an isolator. This device allows the alternator to simultaneously charge the chassis and house system, while still keeping the two systems separate. - Page 81 The house system is charged by several sources. The alternator charges the system through the isolator when the engine is running. As mentioned above, the isolator keeps the house system separate from the chassis system, preventing the chassis battery from being drained by the house appliances.
-
Page 82: Fuses
Fuses Fuses offer a simple and effective method of protecting the 12 VDC lines from overloads. By burning out during an overload, they stop the current and end the hazard the over- loaded circuit might present to the appliances and to the coach. Fuses are an important safety feature and should never be bypassed. -
Page 83: Section 7 - Plumbing Systems
PLUMBING SYSTEMS - SECTION 7 OVERVIEW • 85 OPERATION • 85 USING A CONNECTION • 85 USING WHILE DISCONNECTED • 86 FILLING THE TANK • 86 THE WATER PUMP • 87 COLD WEATHER USE • 88 TOILET • 88 SHOWER • 89 MAINTENANCE •... -
Page 85: Overview
LUMBING YSTEMS VERVIEW Your Trek contains a full freshwater plumbing system capable of operating as a self- contained unit or for making use of a pressurized water source. For camping away from amenities, the system has a specially designed pump system that provides constant flow even at low volumes. -
Page 86: Using While Disconnected
NOTE: In some rare instances, the water pressure of a locality may be very high. Inquire locally before using the connection. Pressure over 125 PSI may damage the regulator and the plumbing system. NOTE: Periodically check the City Water tap plug for tightness. This plug protects your water system from particles and contamination. -
Page 87: The Water Pump
NOTE: Always use clean, potable water. The water system contains a pre-filter to prevent damage to the pump and heater; however, this filter cannot make potable drinking water from an inadequate source. This filter should be cleaned periodically. NOTE: Using the external water connection will not fill the freshwater tank unless the Fresh Water Fill selector valve is open. -
Page 88: Cold Weather Use
Turn off the pump if you are going to be away from your coach for an extended period of time Remember to turn it on again when you return. You will not need to prime the pump or perform any other action to restart the system. Cold Weather Use The entire freshwater system, including the tank and lines directly from the tank, is located within the insulated and heated areas of your coach. -
Page 89: Shower
When flushing liquids, the small amount of water released on flushing is generally enough to rinse the bowl. When flushing solid waste, raise the lever sufficiently to allow enough water to enter the bowl to carry the solids. After flushing, a small amount of water should remain in the bowl. -
Page 90: Maintenance
WARNING: After using the shower, always turn off the water at the faucet. Keep the shower drain plug locked when traveling. AINTENANCE The water system uses roto-molded plastic water tanks and vinyl tubing which deliver non-toxic, non-metallic, pleasant tasting drinking water. It is immune to corrosion and rust. -
Page 91: Troubleshooting
NOTE: Periodically check the overflow pipe of the water tank to ensure it is not clogged with debris. Mud, road materials and even insects can close the vent and may over-pressurize the tank when it is filled. ROUBLESHOOTING Occasional problems can occur to prevent the water system from functioning properly. For each problem a number of possible solutions are offered here: Water Pump Problem: The pump does not activate. -
Page 92: Toilet
Problem: Pump runs, but water sputters. Check the water level in the tank. Check for an air leak in the input lines to the pump. Check the in-line filter for evidence of leakage. Problem: Pump "cycles" - turns rapidly on and off when a faucet is opened. Nothing is wrong. - Page 93 Check the ball valve and underside of the seal for dirt and foreign materials. If necessary, replace seals, flush ball, and half-clamps. Problem: Water does not shut off after flushing. Toilet overflows. Disassemble and clean the water valve. If the valve is defective, replace it. If the spring is defective, replace the spring, cam, and plate with a new spring cartridge.

Page 94: Care & Cleaning
Care & Cleaning The sinks, counter tops, and tub/shower fixtures are simple to care for. Use a mild soap/water combination to clean their surfaces. A commercial glass cleaner can be used on the glass shower door. The shower stall is constructed of a gel-coated fiberglass similar to the type found in many homes. - Page 95 LP-GAS - SECTION 8 OVERVIEW • 97 COACH USE • 97 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • 98 THE LP-GAS TANK • 99 110 LP-GAS TANK • 100 FILLING PROCEDURE • 101 VAPOR VALVE • 101 REGULATOR • 102 MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING • 102...
-
Page 97: Section 8 - Lp-Gas
LP-G VERVIEW Liquid Propane Gas, or "LP-Gas", is an extremely clean and efficient fuel. It is safe, economical, and provides modern living conveniences no matter where you travel. It burns cleanly and packs a tremendous amount of energy in a small container. It is an ideal fuel for RV appliances and is often used in cooking, heating, generator power, and refrigeration. -
Page 98: Safety Precautions
ICTURED ABOVE GASOLINE POWERED MODELS Not all LP-Gas is the same. There are two main components of LP-Gas, propane and butane, and they can be blended in any proportion. Butane is the less volatile, and cannot be used in temperatures below freezing. Propane can be used in temperatures well below zero degrees Fahrenheit. -
Page 99: The Lp-Gas Tank
Periodically have the LP-Gas supplier check the system for possible gas leaks or miss- ing/damaged parts. Practice safety at all times. If you have questions about the operation of your appliances or LP-Gas system, contact your local LP-Gas dealer or RV service center. -
Page 100: Lp-Gas Tank
2nd Vapor Tank Gauge Port (to CMP) Pressure Relief Valve Regulator & Cover Fill Vapor Port (PICTURED: VORTEC GASOLINE POWERED) The fill and pressure-relief valves are used only when filling the tank, and should not be handled any other time. The vapor valve controls the supply of gas to the appliances. WARNING: Never store LP-Gas tanks inside your coach or in storage compart- ments. -
Page 101: Filling Procedure
Filling Procedure Before filling the tank, make sure that all pilot lights are off, and that the engine and gen- erator are not running. The vehicle should be level. The technician filling your tank should be trained in the full procedure. To allow for heat expansion, the tank can only be filled to 80% of its 35 gallon capacity. -
Page 102: Regulator
WARNING: Never use a wrench or pliers on any of the LP-Gas tank valves. They are designed to close completely by hand. If tools are necessary to stop the flow, the valve needs to be repaired or replaced. Regulator The regulator controls the flow of gaseous fuel to the appliances. It is mounted by the vapor valve on the tank. - Page 103 The following procedures will help keep your system functioning properly: • Inspect the lines and fittings regularly for signs of corrosion or dents. • Periodically check for leaks. To check a fitting, apply very soapy water and look for bubbles. Make sure to do this before and after long or rough trips. •...
- Page 104 The problem may require a trained technician. Moisture in the tank may have "frozen" the regulator, and requires purging. Take your coach to a service center. Problem: Gas flow is inconsistent. Check for debris or corrosion on the regulators. If any is apparent, take the coach to a service center for repair.

Page 107: Overview
AINTENANCE VERVIEW Every Safari Trek is designed to be the highest quality, most durable product of its kind on the market. Your coach will provide years of superior use with proper maintenance. Regular attention is essential to the enjoyment of your investment. -
Page 108: Inspection
Do not use chrome polish on any metal except chrome, and never use steam, caustic soap, or auto polish on the aluminum parts. On aluminum you may use a tire sidewall cleaner, but rinse thoroughly with clean water. Moisture enters locks, hinges and crank handles and then may freeze. As the temperature drops, oil and grease begin to thicken, making operation difficult. -
Page 109: Interior Maintenance
NTERIOR AINTENANCE The interior of your coach will benefit from regular care. For the most part, maintaining the interior of your coach is much like maintaining a home. Most products needed for cleaning can be purchased at a grocery store. When using stain removers, always test an inconspicuous area first. -
Page 110: Bathroom Fixtures
Bathroom Fixtures The shower, sink, and toilet in the bathroom have either a gel coat or a Genovese finish. Countertops are made of either Genovese or Fountainhead. These can be cleaned with a liquid cleanser. Do not use scouring powder, it will scratch the surface. Brass fixtures can be wiped with a clean, dry cloth to prevent water spotting. -
Page 111: Carpet
Carpet Top-quality, residential, stain-resistant carpet is used in all Safari coaches. Clean them as you would carpets in your own home. Normal vacuuming is sufficient day-to-day. Consult a professional carpet cleaner to shampoo the carpets. If stains occur, clean immediately by blotting the area with soap and water. If the stain persists, consult a professional carpet service or your carpet manufacturer listed in Appendix A. -

Page 113: Battery Care
Battery Care Batteries also require maintenance on a regular basis. Your coach has two sets of batteries - one set for the house 120 VAC requirements, and one set for the engine. Remember to check both sets regularly. Identify each battery cable to be positive or negative before making any connection. -
Page 114: Coolant
If there is any damage to the tire, such as cuts, bulges, or peeling tread, replace the tire immediately. Remove any rocks lodged in the tread. Check for loose lug bolts. Even standing still, tires can age and wear. Tires have two major enemies: sunlight and unchanging weight. - Page 115 WARNING: Do not add coolant through the fill on the radiator. Hot liquid or vapor can escape and cause severe burns or injury when opening the radia- tor. Always add coolant through the expansion tank above the engine. Trek Owner’s Manual 9 ~ 115...

Page 119: Overview
There are two ways to winterize your plumbing: draining the system or adding potable antifreeze. Safari recommends that you drain the system completely before storing for an extended length of time. -
Page 120: Waste Water System
To drain your system, start with the water tank. Open the tank drain valve and leave it open. When empty, start the water pump and open several faucets. Run the pump until no more water comes out. Be sure to shut off the water heater. The switch is located above the entry door. -
Page 121: Moisture Problems
Your LP gas system requires virtually no maintenance. Simply turn the flow valves off. Do not attempt to drain the system. The generator requires the same type of attention as any engine. A full schedule of maintenance requirements is given in the generator manual. Your roof air conditioners should be operated occasionally to ensure the compressor seals remain lubricated. - Page 122 Temperature fluctuations increase the amount of condensation and make wood more vulnerable to damage. Below freezing temperatures are particularly hard on your coach. Therefore, strive to maintain a constant temperature in your coach. Do not attempt to use the coach furnace for this purpose. Humidity is the source of condensation.

ERVICE VERVIEW We want to make sure you receive a quality unit that will serve you with a minimum of problems; however, your coach contains thousands of components, assembled by hun- dreds of technicians, with countless procedures. These components are subjected to condi- tions far harsher than any found in stationary housing. -
Page 126: Service Centers
Service Centers We support three fully equipped Factory Service Centers for both warranty and non-war- ranty service. One is located near corporate headquarters in Harrisburg, Oregon. There is another on the west coast in Bend, Oregon, and the east coast in Brandon, Florida. These centers work by appointment only. -
Page 127: Appliances
WARNING: If your coach requires service somewhere other than at your dealer, call Technical Support before work commences. They will make arrangements with the service center for reimbursement of the cost and exchange of parts, if necessary. Work that is not prearranged may be denied coverage under your warranty. -

How do I turn off the the "Service Engine Soon" light on the left side of the dash after I have done the service?
The "Service Engine Soon" light on a SAFARI Trek 2002 may turn off automatically after the issue is resolved and the engine is restarted. If it stays on, refer to the Workhorse Custom Chassis manual for specific reset procedures.
