SECTION 3
IN CASE OF DRIVING EMERGENCY
WARNING
DO NOT crawl under the vehicle
when it is supported by a jack.
NOTE: When installing the outboard rear dual
wheel and tire assembly, rotate the outer
dual wheel so valve stems are accessible
but not touching one another. In some
cases this means that the inner and outer
valve stems should be in separate wheel
cutout locations.
When installing or tightening dual
wheels, both wheels on the same side
must be off the ground (not resting on the
inner dual). This minimizes the possibili-
ty of loose wheels after correct mounting
torque is applied.

WHEEL NUTS

To properly seat the wheel nuts and to elimi-
nate the possibility of the wheel nuts becoming
loosened while driving, they should be tightened
at frequent intervals to the torque specified in
your Ford chassis manual. This is especially im-
portant during the first 100, 1,000 and 6,000
miles of operation after replacement of a wheel or
wheel nuts.
3-2
WARNING
The operator is advised to obtain road
service whenever possible and
attempt tire changing under emer-
gency conditions only and with close
adherence to instructions. If it
becomes necessary to change a
wheel, that wheel should be checked
after being properly torqued and
inspected by qualified service person-
nel, at 100 miles and every oil change
thereafter.
Upon satisfactory completion of
emergency tire change, it is highly
recommended that the wheel nuts be
properly torqued and inspected by
qualified service personnel as soon as
possible.
RECOVERY TOWING
See your Ford Owner's Guide for proper
recovery towing procedures.
Winnebago Industries does not assume re-
sponsibility for damage incurred while towing
this vehicle.
WARNING
Stay out from beneath the motor
home while it is suspended by the
towing assembly unless the vehicle is
adequately
supported
stands. Do not allow passengers to
occupy a towed vehicle.
NOTE: Know and obey all state and local towing
regulations. Tow at reduced speed.
