Driving & Safety --- Section 2
Cayman 2005
55
Road flares or reflective warning signs should be displayed if the motorhome is alongside of the
road for any length of time. Guidelines for placing the warning triangles depend upon the road charac-
teristics and visibility. For example: The standard placement is 10 feet, 100 feet and 200 feet from the
rear of the motorhome when on a divided highway or one-way road. On a two-way road, with traffic
traveling both directions, the same placement would also be required at the front of the motorhome.
Roads with curves and hills may require the placement of the last/furthest triangle to be 500 feet
behind the motorhome in order to safely warn approaching traffic.
INFORMATION:
In the event of a roadside emergency relating to a Cummins engine, contact the
nearest Cummins Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-343-7357.
In Case of Flat Tire
In the event of a flat tire, it is recommended to call for roadside assistance.
The size and weight of the motorhome and its tires require proper equipment to
change the tire. A professional service technician will have the equipment and train-
ing needed to repair or replace the tire. In the case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy
braking. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually decrease speed. Slowly move
to a safe off-road place, which should be a firm level spot. Turn the ignition off and
turn the hazard flasher system ON. Save the old tire for possible warranty coverage.
INFORMATION:
Goodyear emergency service number is 877-484-7376.
Running Out of Fuel
When the motorhome runs out of fuel, air will enter the fuel lines and fuel system components of the
engine. Diesel engines are sensitive to air in the fuel system. If the engine has stalled due to low fuel, it
will be necessary to prime the fuel system to restart the engine. Several gallons of fuel will be neces-
sary in the tank before attempting to prime the fuel system.
CAUTION:
The engine will sputter for a short period before it stops running due to a low fuel
condition. Pull off the road on a firm level surface a safe distance away from traffic.
Steering may become stiff if the engine stops running.
To Prime the Fuel System:
1. Add 30 gallons of fuel to the empty tank, possibly more if the motorhome is parked on an
angle.
2. Follow the instructions "To Prime the Fuel System" located in the Fuel System/Fuel Filters
of Section 10.
