EMERGENCY STOPPING
Always carry road flares or reflective warning signs to display if necessary. Pull off the
roadway as far as possible for emergency stopping or tire changing. Turn ON your motor
home hazard warning flashers. If traveling at night, use three red warning indicators such
as flares, reflectors or lanterns as required by the Uniform Vehicle Code and Model Traffic
Ordinance as follows:
1. Place the first warning indicator on the traffic side of the motor home, directed at the
nearest approaching traffic.
2. Place the second warning indicator 100 feet behind the motor home in the center of
the lane and toward approaching traffic.
3. Place the third warning indicator 100 feet in front of the motor home in the center of
the lane and away from the traffic approaching from behind.
NOTE: Curves and/or hills may affect the safe placement of warning indicators.
EMERGENCY TOWING
If your RV needs to be towed, please contact an emergency road service provider or a
qualified service facility for assistance.
WHEEL LUGS
After your first trip, check the wheel lug torque periodically for safety. Check the wheel
lugs after winter storage, after a wheel removal, before starting a trip or following

Wheel Lug Torque Chart.)
1. Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
2. Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown.
3. Tighten the lug nuts equally in stages as indicated for your trailer's wheels (see Wheel
Lug Torque Chart).
Check and re-torque after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers).
Thereafter, check and maintain the torque according to the listed torque values (see
Wheel Lug Torque Chart.)
WARNING
