HAZARD WARNING
FLASHER
The hazard warning flasher provides addi-
tional safety when the vehicle must be stopped on
the side of the roadway and presents a possible
hazard to other motorists. When the flasher is on,
it serves as a warning to the other drivers to ap-
proach and overtake your vehicle with caution.
WARNING
Operating the hazard warning flasher
system while moving on the highway
is illegal.
The front directional signals and the taillights
will flash intermittently when the flashers are in
operation. The hazard warning flashers will not
operate when the service brake pedal is de-
pressed. The turn signal will not operate when the
flashers are on. When it is necessary to leave the
vehicle, the flasher system will continue to oper-
ate with the ignition key removed.
IF YOU GET A FLAT TIRE
In case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy
brake application. Tire manufacturers recom-
mend accelerating briefly to regain steering sta-
bility, then gradually decreasing speed. Avoid
quick steering movements. Hold steering wheel
firmly and move slowly to a safe, off-road place.
Park on a level spot, turn off the ignition, and turn
on the hazard warning flasher system.
SPARE TIRE STORAGE
The spare tire is fastened to a swing-down
carrier beneath the rear of the coach.

• Remove 2 bolts and retainer plate that hold
wheel to carrier bracket.
• Lift or slide tire from carrier.
• Do not over-tighten wing nut when returning
carrier to storage position.
MOTOR HOME JACKING AND
TIRE CHANGING PROCEDURE
Follow the chassis manufacturer's recom-
mendations for jacking and tire changing. These
instructions are found in the chassis operating
guide in your Owner Infocase.
A jack is designed for use as a tool for
changing tires only, not for use as a leveling
device or as a support for service purposes.
