This Limited Warranty provided by Four Winds® (“Warrantor”) covers those components, assemblies and systems of your new motor home not excluded under the section “What is Not Covered”, when sold by an authorized dealer.
Your motor home is designed to carry the loads defined by the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR - the value specified by the chassis manufacturer as the load carrying capacity of a single axle system...).
Periodically weigh the motor home at a public scale to determine axle loads. The following procedure is suggested, although any method recommended by the scale operator which correctly determines weight value is acceptable.
The following is an explanation of commonly used weight abbreviations.
The following warnings are posted throughout the motor home to provide information on Propane safety. They have been installed not only because of the requirement to do so, but also as a constant reminder to occupants of the motor home to exercise proper caution when using or being around Propane appliances and equipment.
DO NOT alter or modify any component of the exhaust system at any time. Inspect the exhaust system at regular intervals for damage.
The Propane Gas Detector is powered at all times when the coach battery disconnect switch is in the ON position. When power is supplied to the detector the green indicator light will illuminate.
Do not occupy beds or any other seats that are not equipped with safety seat belts while the motor home is in motion. Do not use a seat belt on more than one person.
All occupants must be furnished with and use seat belts while the motor home is moving. FAILURE TO INSPECT AND IF NECESSARY REPLACE THE SAFETY BELT UNDER THE ABOVE CONDITIONS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.
If your child requires a child safety restraint system (seat), Four Winds recommends installing the child safety seat in the forward facing booth dinette position.
A separate functioning brake system is required for any towed vehicles or trailers weighing more than 1000 lbs when fully loaded. NEVER exceed the GVWR, or the GAWR specified on the motor home certification label.
IF AN EMERGENCY EVER REQUIRES YOU TO BE STOPPED, BE SURE TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES: Pull off the road as far as possible.
Be extremely careful when fueling the motor home. Always shut off the engine, do not smoke, or use cellular phones and shut off all pilot lights before adding fuel.
The dash controls and instrument panels provided within the motor home are installed by either the chassis manufacturer or Four Winds International and may not appear exactly as pictured.
The Chassis Owner's Manual furnished with the motor home has complete information for operating and maintaining the chassis functions.
The Allison keypad push button shift selector has six buttons on the keypad that cause the following transmission operations to occur.
This system gives a televised view of what is behind the motor home. It is used as an aid in backing the motor home, and can also be used for greater field of vision when driving in heavy traffic.
The dash radio will control the multi-functions for the dash audio system. Basic Operations are listed below. For complete information, consult your owner's manual provided.
Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not be distracted by the navigation system while driving. Failure to do so could result in an accident or collision, resulting in death or injury.
Programming The Keyless Entry System Transmitter. 3 Button Transmitter Programming: This mode will only retain the last 4 remote transmitters programmed.
With any hydraulic application, holding position on a cylinder must be done with safety in mind. Failure in the system may cause the leg(s) to retract or extend on its own.
Make sure there are no obstructions in the extend or retract paths of the jacks. Keep all people clear of the vehicle while operating the leveling system.
Following manual override operation, failure to return all valves to normal position may result in one or more jack legs drifting down from their retracted (stowed) position.
Operating the room with any room-locking device locked can cause personal injury and vehicle damage. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that all room-locking devices are disengaged before operating the room.
Level the motor home. Ensure there is proper clearance to fully extend the Slide Out.
Ensure proper clearance by clearing any obstruction in the Slide out area. Apply the parking brake.
Make sure that there is adequate clearance to fully extend the room. Apply the parking brake.
Make sure before exiting the motor home, that the step is activated and/or extended. Due to the height of the motor home, you may accidentally slip or fall if attempting to exit without use of the step.
The air conditioning system contains refrigerant 134a under high pressure and should be serviced by qualified personnel only. Improper service methods could cause serious personal injury.
This appliance is equipped with an electric ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.
The motor home is equipped with a roof mounted air conditioner. This air conditioner operates from 120 Volt AC only, either from shore power or the on-board generator.
The electrical system is engineered and tested for safety. Circuit breakers and fuses protect the electrical circuits from overloading.
The motor home is designed to be connected to a 50 amp service which provides a combined total of 240 Volts. The 240 Volts comes from two separate 120 Volt lines that are in the shore power cord.
The chassis and or auxiliary batteries of a motor home may be located behind the front hood of the motor home or in an exterior compartment.
The battery disconnect switch allows you to easily disconnect the auxiliary batteries from electrical circuits, preventing unwanted discharge during extended non-use.
The converter is used to switch 120V electricity from an external supply, or from the generator, to 12 Volt electricity to power interior lights and 12 Volt accessories.
The inverter takes 12 Volt DC from the house batteries and turns it into 120 Volt AC. It also takes 120 Volt AC when the motor home is connected to shore power and transforms it into 12 Volt DC to recharge the house batteries.
The 120 volt outlet in the kitchen and/or bath and outside recepts are equipped with a protective circuit interrupter. The ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), is designed to break the flow of current to the protected outlet when an imbalance of current is detected.
A 12 Volt DC distribution panel is located next to the 120 Volt circuit breakers. The panel contains circuits with replaceable fuses for protection of motor home 12 Volt lines.
The automotive chassis 12 volt system alternator supplies power to both the automotive systems as well as any auxiliary battery and directly to the motor home living quarters while the vehicle’s motor is running.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS POISONOUS AND CAN CAUSE UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH. Make sure to read and understand the generator owner’s manual before operating the generator.
Fresh water is provided from an external pressurized source, or from the fresh water storage tank. External Hook-up: Water provided from outside the motor home is pressurized by the system from which it is delivered.
When an outside source of water is unavailable, water can be drawn from the fresh water storage tank for use in the motor home. The tank is filled through a gravity controlled water fill spout on the side of the motor home.
When using water from the fresh water tank, the system must be pressurized. A self-priming 12V DC pump is provided to handle this function.
The monitor panel allows you to quickly check the levels in the fresh water and waste water tanks. Electrical sensors at various points on the tanks send signals to the monitor panel.
Remove the sewer drain hose from its storage compartment on the side of the coach. Remove the cap from the sewage drain, and connect the drain hose to it.
The toilet installed in the motor home is connected to the pressurized fresh water system. The two most common style of toilets use either a foot pedal or hand lever to flush and add water to the bowl.
As with any mechanical system, your plumbing is subject to the development of problems. Most of these problems can be greatly reduced if not altogether eliminated by following a schedule of planned inspections and maintenance.
PROPANE GAS IS HIGHLY VOLATILE AND EXTREMELY EXPLOSIVE. Do not use matches or a flame to test for leaks. MAKE SURE THAT THE TANK IS NOT FILLED BEYOND THE 80% LIQUID LEVEL.
NEVER ALTER THE POSITIONING OF THE REGULATOR. Propane gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. During cold weather, it is important to keep ice from forming in the regulator.
DO NOT STORE PROPANE GAS CONTAINERS INSIDE THE Motor home. Propane Gas containers are equipped with safety devices which relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
