Engine and Generator Compartment Access
The exterior engine compartment access door is operated manually. Lift the door open by
grasping the ventilation ns on the engine compartment and pulling toward you and while
lifting up. The engine compartment door will swing up.
To close, pull down on the engine compartment door until it swings into place and closes.
To access the components located in the generator compartment refer to Electrical Systems;
Generator and Generator Slide Tray.
Do not operate the motor home unless the engine hood, engine access
cover, and generator compartment hood are securely closed and locked.
Keep people and pets clear of the rear of the coach while operating the
engine compartment door. Keep hands and other body parts clear of the
door, hinges and mechanism. Failure to act in accordance to these warn-
ings may result in serious personal injury.
Hinges, Locks and Latches (Interior and Exterior)
Lubricate with a high quality silicone lubricant every three months or sooner if necessary.
Salty air or dusty environments will require more frequent maintenance.
Exterior Roof and Sidewall Vents
Inspect the roof vents, including sealants for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the refrig-
erator and holding tank vents for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All
exterior access doors and vents need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect
nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the appliances are in use.
Windows
Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms or
while driving. This is normal and water should only be seen in the lower track portion of the
window frame. Condensation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the
tracks. Ensure that the escape window latches are properly adjusted (the window will pop
open if not adjusted tight enough).
The window glass can normally be cleaned with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner to
remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
To avoid exhaust gas entry into the motor home, keep windows closed when
the chassis or generator engines are running.
