Changing A Tire
If you experience a at tire on your motor home while driving, gradually decrease your
vehicle speed (if possible), and move the motor home to a safe place on the side of the road.
Contact your road service provider (if applicable) or a qualied service facility for assis-
tance. this is why
a jack and a spare tire have not been included with the motor home.
Make sure the road service technician reads and is familiar with the Chassis Guide informa-
tion regarding changing the tires. Make sure the wheel lug nuts have been tightened to the
proper torque as outlined in your Chassis Guide.
The motor home is very heavy. Raising the motor home to replace the
spare tire should only be done with extreme caution by a qualied techni-
cian. The vehicle could slip, causing personal injury or death.
Do not use the hydraulic leveling jack system to support the motor home
while under the vehicle or changing tires. The hydraulic leveling system
is designed as a leveling system only. Do not use the hydraulic leveling
jack system as a jack or in conjunction with a jack. It is highly rec-
ommended that, should a tire change be required, it be performed by a
knowledgeable, trained professional.
When replacing a tire, make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size
and specications (refer to your Chassis Guide for assistance).
It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of each
trip to obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow the instructions listed on
the Federal Certication label, to determine the correct tire pressure. Under-
ination may cause tire failures and swaying resulting in loss of control, in-
jury, death or property damage.
Awnings
Awnings must be closed (and secured) while the RV is in transit.
Keep clear of arm assemblies while opening, adjusting or closing the aw-
ning. Failure to obey this caution could result in injury and/or property
damage.
Always operate the awning according to the instructions.
Periodically check that the fasteners are tight (tighten if necessary).
Keep the awning fabric and arms clean.
