KEYS
Your motor home is supplied with several sets of
keys. In addition to the chassis manufacturer's
ignition key, you receive keys for front doors,
entrance door, and exterior compartment doors.

FUEL SELECTION

Refer to your chassis-operating guide for the
manufacturer's recommendations on proper fuel
selection.
WARNING
Modern fuel systems may build up
pressure within the tank as the gasoline
warms during use or in hot weather.
Under certain conditions, sudden release
of the 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 rotate it
only far enough to allow pressure to release.
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,
indicating a full tank. This provides a pre-
determined 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/evaporative
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 dealer.
Starting and Stopping Engine
Refer to your chassis-operating guide for the
manufacturer's recommendations on starting
and stopping the engine.
Brake-Shift Interlock (Chevy and Ford
Chassis)
Chevy and Ford chassis are equipped with a
brake-shift interlock safety feature. The shift
lever cannot be moved from the Park position
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.
Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch - (Ford
Chassis Only)
Vehicles built on Ford chassis are equipped
with an inertial type switch that shuts off
the fuel pump in the event of collision. This
switch must be manually reset to resume
the fuel supply to the engine.
See your chassis operating guide for location
and reset procedures for this switch.
NOTE: It is possible to accidentally trigger the fuel
pump shut-off switch by abruptly striking an
object such as a curb or parking block. If
your vehicle exhibits symptoms of running
out of fuel immediately after such an
