STARTING AND
STOPPING ENGINE
Refer to your chassis operating guide for the
manufacturer's recommendations on starting and
stopping the engine.
Brake-Shift Interlock (Ford & Workhorse
Chassis)
Ford and Workhorse chassis are equipped
with a brake-shift interlock safety feature. The
shift lever cannot be moved from the Park posi-
tion unless the ignition is ON and the service
brake pedal is pressed.
NOTE: On Ford chassis, if the brake light fuse is
blown, the interlock feature will not work
properly and an alternate method must
be used. See your Ford Owners Guide
for detailed instructions on what to do in
this situation.
PARKING BRAKES
Ford & Workhorse Chassis:
The parking brake pedal is located to the left
of the service brake pedal.
To set the parking brake, press the service
brake pedal firmly with your right foot while you
apply the parking brake with your left foot. The
BRAKE warning light will go on as soon as you
start to press the parking brake pedal. The brake
will not prevent the vehicle from moving unless
you push it down firmly and fully. Remove your
foot from the service brake pedal and make sure
there is no vehicle movement.
To release the parking brake, apply the service
brake with your right foot and hold the parking
brake pedal down with your left foot while you
pull the release lever. The release lever is located
above the brake pedal.
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
NOTE: On some Workhorse chassis the parking
brakes are applied by pulling outward on
the large, diamond-shaped knob on the
dash to the right of the steering column.
Push the knob in to release the parking
brakes.
Never drive your vehicle with the parking
brake set as this will reduce parking brake effec-
tiveness and cause excessive wear.
PARKING BRAKE (Models with
Optional 16,500 lb. GVWR Workhorse
Chassis)
This chassis is equipped with an automati-
cally applied parking brake that actuates when
the shift lever is moved to the Park position.
NOTE: Some Workhorse chassis may have park-
ing brakes that are applied by pulling
outward on a large, diamond-shaped
knob on the dash to the right of the steer-
ing column. Push the knob in to release
the parking brakes.
