CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Draining The Fresh Water Reservoir
The fresh water reservoir can be drained by
simply opening the drain cock. Don’t forget to
close the cock when draining is complete.
Note: The fresh water reservoir may be
equipped with an optional thermal valve which is
set to open at about 35
o
F, thereby automatically
draining the reservoir in near-freezing
temperatures.
CLEANING CABINET
A hose connection and valve is located behind a
small door in the top curbside corner of the rear
lavatory wall. It can be used to attach a garden
hose for lavatory cleaning. To use, connect a
fresh water supply to the connection in the engine
compartment, identified as "Cleaning Kit", located
next to the fresh water reservoir fill coupling.
To prevent freezing during cold weather, drain the
hose after every use.
FLUID LEVEL VERIFICATION
Periodic inspection of oil and fluid levels is the
most economical and easiest way to help your
vehicle perform at its best. Rigorous oil level
inspection and replacement will greatly help
minimize expensive and unscheduled repairs.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check engine oil level when engine is still warm
and with vehicle parked on a level surface. Shut
OFF engine and wait at least 10 minutes for oil
to drain into oil pan before checking. Check
engine oil level daily or before each trip. Add oil
as required. Do not overfill. Remove dipstick,
wipe clean and fully reinsert to ensure an
accurate reading. Remove dipstick and check
engine oil level.
The oil level must be maintained between the
two marks indicated on the dipstick. Do not let
the oil level drop below the L mark. Add oil by
opening the oil reserve tank drain cock or
through the oil filler pipe. Use the markings on
the tank to check the quantity of oil added.
Close the oil reserve tank drain cock or oil filler
cap after adding oil. Recheck the oil level. Do
not let the oil level go above the F mark on the
dipstick.

Caution: Keep engine oil level between "L" and
"F" on dipstick. Do not overfill. Check when
refueling.

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
The transmission fluid level dipstick is accessible
through the engine compartment rear door and
is located on the left side of the engine.
To check the transmission fluid level, a "cold
check" and a "hot check" must be performed. A
cold check must be made when the transmission
fluid is between 60
o
F and 120
o
F (16
o
C and
50
o
C).
Note: Perform the cold check first to verify the
transmission fluid level before performing the hot
check.
