DRIVING & SAFETY — 2
In Case of Flat Tire
In the event of a at tire, it is
recommended to call for roadside
assistance. The size and weight
of the motorhome and its tires require proper
equipment to change the tire. A professional
service technician will have the equipment and
training needed to repair or replace the tire.
In the case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy
braking. Hold the steering wheel rmly and
gradually decrease speed. Slowly move to a
safe off-road place, which should be a rm level
spot. Turn the ignition OFF and turn the hazard
asher system ON. Save the old tire for possible
warranty coverage.
WARNING:
Do not crawl under the motorhome for
any reason if a wheel has been removed.
Any number of circumstances could
cause the motorhome to suddenly fall,
resulting in severe injury or death.
WARNING:
If a flat tire cannot be repaired, the
replacement tire must be of the same
size, weight rating and load range as the
others.
Dead Chassis Battery
A weak or discharged
battery will not supply
the amount of CCA
(Cold Cranking Amps)
necessary to initiate the
required voltage to start
the engine.
If the engine fails to crank, or cranks slowly
due to a weak chassis battery, there are electrical
back-up systems in place that may increase
chassis battery voltage.
Battery Boost Switch:
The Battery Boost switch (located on the
driver’s console) engages a heavy-duty solenoid
to electrically connect the house batteries to the
chassis batteries in the event the engine will not
crank or cranks slowly.
The solenoid is designed for short-term high
current intermittent use. Engaging the boost
solenoid for an extended period will damage the
solenoid.
Jump Starting Using Battery Boost Switch:
With the ignition key OFF, press and
hold the Battery Boost switch for ten
seconds. After ten seconds, continue to
hold the switch down and turn on the
ignition. The battery volt gauge on the
dash should read at least 12 Volts. If
voltage is sufcient, try to start the engine.
If the engine fails to crank or does not
crank fast enough, discontinue the
attempt. Continued attempts will only
diminish any remaining surface charge
in the chassis battery and end future
alternative attempts.
