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
LP
gas 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
.II
NOTE. I
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.
regardless
of
tread depth.
Tire Inflation
For safety and maximum tire life, vehicle speeds
must be proper, proper inflation pressure must be
maintained, and tread. depth and
wem'
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/Owner's Guide/Mannal
or any tire
manufacturer's information that may be provided
On
The
Road
in your Owners' Information 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
Operator's/Owner's Guide/Mannal
for recom-
mended tire inflation pressure.
.II
NOTE
I
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 periormance, tire manufacturers pro-
vide tire inflation pressure charts
50
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 Guide/Manual.
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 Guide/Manual or
the tire manufacturer's tire pressure chart.
v'1
NOTE
I
Fleetwood recommends using a high quality tire pres-
sure gauge for accurate, repeatable pressure
readings.
.II
NOTE
I
Check the wheel lug nut tightness periodically. They
could work loose during driving. Check the Chassis
Operator's/Owner's GuldelManual for correct lug nut
torque and torquing procedure, and schedule.
