Engine Top Cover; Fuel/Water Separator; Engine Cooling System; Tires - Winnebago Journey Owner's Manual

Unlock the service panel and swing it upward.

ENGINE TOP COVER

The engine top cover is located beneath the
rear bed. This cover is only removed for replace-
ment of engine parts or if a complete view of the
engine is needed for inspection. To do this,
remove the mattress from the bed and lift the
hinged bed board upward. Support the bed board
with a suitable prop rod while accessing engine.
Routine engine inspection can be performed
(with protective clothing) under the left rear side
of the vehicle, between the luggage compart-
ment and engine exhaust muffler.

FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR

Diesel fuel often contains small quantities of
water which can damage the engine if not filtered
out. The fuel/water separator traps this water and
prevents it from reaching the engine. The harmful
water deposits must be drained from the separa-
tor canister during normal periodic service and
maintenance to keep the fuel filtration system
working effectively.
The fuel/water separator is located in the rear
engine compartment. Open the grille and look
straight down inside the opening.
Place an appropriate container beneath the
outlet and screw the water release valve open
several turns. Drain any water deposits from the
canister until clean diesel fuel flows from the
valve. Close valve by hand. Do not over tighten.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Fuel/Water Drain Valve
Dispose of the drained liquid in an environ-
mentally responsible manner, such as taking to a
waste oil disposal center.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

Refer to your Freightliner chassis operating
manual and diesel engine manual for information
and precautions on filling, servicing and check-
ing the fluid level.
CAUTION
When refilling the coolant system, be
sure to allow for additional coolant
capacity of the automotive heater and
its supply and return hoses.

TIRES

Low air pressure results in tire overloading
and abnormal wear and also affects handling and
fuel economy. Obtain proper inflation pressures
from your chassis operating guide or tire manu-
facturer.
See the Vehicle Certification Label affixed to
the wall near the driver's seat for tire informa-
tion.
