CHASSIS - INTRODUCTION
This section contains information and instruction regarding various components of the motorhome
chassis. Follow the guidelines and procedures to help understand and operate the motorhome.
Complete instructions for engine and transmission are located in their respective operators manual
included in the Owner’s Information File Box.
WARNING:
When welding is involved for motorhome repair or modification, only qualified,
experienced technicians should weld on the chassis. Improper welding procedures
and materials may weaken the assembly or result in damage that is not obvious
and may not cause an immediate problem or failure. Unauthorized modifications
or repairs to the chassis could result in a forfeiture of warranty coverage.
DANGER:
Due to the sensitive nature of the electronics on the chassis, the following precau-
tions are required to protect electrical components in the motorhome chassis:
1. Disconnect the (+) positive and (-) negative battery connection.
2. Cover electronic control components and wiring to protect from hot sparks.
3. Disconnect the terminal plugs from the engine Electronic Control Unit, located
on the passenger side of the engine block.
4. Disconnect all the plugs from the transmission Electronic Control Unit, located
in the storage bay between the frame rails.
5. Disconnect the wiring from the alternator.
6. Do not connect welding cables to electronic control components.
7. Attach the welding ground cable no more than two feet from the part to be
welded.
