SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
2. Adjust the driver's seat for proper distance
from foot pedals and steering wheel to allow
for safety and ease in controlling your vehi-
cle.
3. Place front seats in the forward facing posi-
tion.
4. Be sure to fasten all safety belts to fit you
comfortably, but tight enough to obtain the
full safety of the belts.
5. Make sure all doors are completely shut and
locked. When the doors are shut and locked,
there is less chance of the doors flying open
in event of an accident. It also prevents unin-
tentional opening of doors and keeps
intruders out of your vehicle.
6. Check to see that all gauges are operating
properly.
7. Check the fuel level in the vehicle.
8. Be certain that the fire extinguisher is fully
charged and secure in its mounting bracket.
CAUTION
Be sure hood and all compartment
doors are latched securely before
driving vehicle

WARNING
Modern fuel systems may build up
pressure within the tank as the gaso-
line warms during use or in hot
weather.
Under certain conditions, sudden
release of this pressure when
removing the gasoline cap can spray
gasoline from the fuel fill opening,
causing a possible hazard.
GASOLINE FUEL FILL
Removing the Fuel Cap
When removing the gasoline cap, slowly ro-
tate it only far enough to allow pressure to re-
lease. After any "hissing" sounds stop, continue
removing the cap.
Filling the Tank
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Allow gasoline
to pump into the tank until the auto-shutoff valve
in the fuel pump nozzle stops the flow of fuel, in-
dicating a full tank. This provides a pre-deter-
mined vapor space at the top of the tank to allow
for expansion of the gasoline.
CAUTION
Continuing to fill above this level
may cause damage to the fuel/evapo-
rative emission system.
Replacement Fuel Caps
To protect gasoline system from excessive
pressure or vacuum, or from sudden pressure,
replace lost caps with caps of the same design
available from your Winnebago Industries
dealer or a dealership that sells Ford vehicles.
STARTING AND
STOPPING ENGINE
Refer to your chassis operating guide for the
manufacturer's recommendations on starting and
stopping the engine.
