Headlight Switch -
The three-position light
switch controls the headlights, taillights, park-
ing lights, sidemarker lights and instrument lights.
Instrument light intensity can be varied by turn-
ing knob clockwise or counterclockwise.
The headlight circuit is protected by a circuit
breaker in the light switch. An overload on the
breaker will cause the lights to "flicker" on and
off. If this condition develops, have your headlight
wiring checked immediately.

2-Speed Windshield Wiper/Washer with Delay-
Turn inner knob clockwise for wiper action. The
wiper blades are mounted on "articulated" arms
that allow the blades to follow a wiping path as
wide as possible.
OFF-No wiper action.
1st notch -Wiper delay ON. Turn outer knob
clockwise for longer delay between wiper
strokes.
2nd notch-Slow wiping action.
3rd notch - Fast wiping action.
To WASH, press outer knob, then release. One
press of washer knob cycles wipers once. The
washer nozzles are located on the wiper arms
close to the wiper blades. They move with the
blades and provide continuous washer coverage.
Auxiliary Start System -
The Auxiliary Start
System permits using the auxiliary battery (see
Electrical System) to start the motor home engine
if the vehicle battery is discharged.
• Before engaging system, be sure the vehicle
is stopped, shift to "P" (PARK) and apply the
parking brake.
The Auxiliary Start System has no effect on the
vehicle except to aid in starting the motor home
engine. If the vehicle alternator is operating pro-
perly, the batteries will be recharged while driv-
ing (see Electrical System).
The auxiliary start system will engage
automatically when the main (chassis) battery
charge is insufficient to crank the engine. The
instrument panel indicator will show either of
two normal conditions when the ignition switch
is turned to the "CRANK" position:
1.
GREEN -
the main battery is charged, and
capable of cranking the engine. Cranking power
is being provided by the main battery. The green
indicator will remain on for approximately 10
seconds after cranking.
2. ORANGE - The main battery has insufficient
charge for engine cranking. The auxiliary battery
system has been activated to crank the engine.
The orange indicator will remain on for approx-
imately 10 seconds after cranking.
Of course, if both the main and auxiliary bat-
teries are dead, the engine will not crank, nor
will the panel indicator light up. Sufficient crank-
ing charge may be restored to the auxiliary bat-
teries by plugging in to an external 110V AC elec-
trical source or by running the generator.
