The
Road
A CAUTION
Modification
of
your vehicle by addition of racks not
originally equipped by the manufacturer
to
carry addi-
tional equipment, vehicles or cargo will reduce your
warranty coverage and may cause personal injury or
property damage.
A WARNING
Do
not store or carry Propane containers, gasoline,
or
other flammable liquids inside your motor home.
TIRES
Your motor home is equipped with wheels and
tires selected to match the capacity specifica-
tions
of
the chassis as designed
by
the chassis
manufacturer. Under normal circumstances and
with proper tire and chassis maintenance, you
should receive thousands
of
miles
of
trouble-
free service.
Some motor homes accumulate relatively few
miles and therefore the tire age from the date
of
manufacture, not mileage, may become the main
tire life determining factor. Motor home tires
normally have a life
of
5-7 years, depending
on
mileage. However, Fleetwood recommends peri-
odic tire inspection by a reputable tire dealer
regardless
of
tread depth.

NOTE 1
When
parking your motor home for an extended
time,
in storage
or
camping, you can extend tire life
by
parking each tire on a piece
of
plywood approxi-
mately
12 inches square.
Tire Inflation
For safety and maximum tire life, vehicle speeds
must be propel', proper inflation pressure must be
maintained, and tread depth and wear must be
monitored.
Properly inflated and maintained tires
also contribute
to
overall motor home stability and
safety. Refer to the tire section in your
Chassis
Operafor's/Owller's Guide/Mallual or
any
tire
manufacturer's information that may be provided
05-8
in your OWllers' Ill/ormatioll Package for
information on maintenance and tire care.
If
no
information
is
provided please contact your local
tire manufacturer's location for advice.
The
maximum cold inflation pressures are stated
on the tire sidewall. The recommended maxi-
mum tire inflation pressure for this coach is
shown
on
the Federal Certification Tag located
on the sidewall near the driver's seat.
To
maxi-
mize tire performance, consult with the tire
manufacturer's guidelines or
Chassis
Operafor's/Owller's Guide/Manual for recom-
mended tire inflation pressure.

NOTE
1
The tire pressures on your motor home were
adjusted
at
the
factory
to
the tire pressures specified
on the Federal certification
tag.
These pressures are specified
at
full gross vehicle
weight and should be reset
to
match the weight
of
your motor home.
For maxImum performance, tire manufacturers pro-
vide tire inflation pressure charts so you can match
the tire pressures to the loads on your motor home.
For
additional tire pressure information, consult the
Chassis Operator's/Owner's GuidelManual.
A WARNING
For safety and maximum tire life, check and adjust tire
pressure (including the spare, if equipped)
at
the
beginning of each trip and daily during the trip.
Pay
special attention to inside rear duals. Always check
pressure when tires are cold, and do not bleed air out
of warm tires. Follow the tire pressure instructions in
the
Chassis Operator's/Owner's GuidelManual
or
the tire manufacturer's tire pressure chart.

NOTE 1
Fleetwood recommends using a high quality tire pres-
sure gauge for accurate, repeatable pressure readings.

NOTE 1
Check the wheel lug nut tightness periodically. They
could work loose during driving. Check the Chassis
Operator'siOwner's GuldeIManual for correct lug nut
torque and torquing procedure, and schedule.
