OTHER FEATURES
can be switched to either LOW-BUOY or
NORMAL positions. A warning light on the
dashboard will indicate that the coach is being
lowered. Refer to "Controls & Instruments"
chapter.
Caution: Avoid parking too close to the
curb or other obstacles that could damage the
coach during low-buoy operation.
Note: The Low-Buoy system does not
operate when the coach is traveling over 5 mph
(8 km/h). Consequently, the driver cannot
inadvertently operate the Low-Buoy system at
higher speeds.
RETRACTABLE TAG AXLE
Tag axle retraction is controlled by a valve
located on the right lateral console. The valve
can be switched to either the WHEELS UP or
WHEELS DOWN position. The axle will be
automatically raised or lowered by air pressure
according to the valve position. Refer to
"Controls & Instruments" chapter.
The tag axle service brakes operate only when
the tag axle is in the WHEELS DOWN position.
Never lower the tag axle while the coach is
moving. When the tag axle is in the WHEELS
UP position, the corresponding indicator light will
illuminate and a beep will sound to alert the
driver of the tag axle's position. The tag axle can
be raised in tight maneuvering areas like in a
parking lot or to make it easier to turn a short
corner. The tag axle shortens the wheelbase
and allows tighter turning. Raising the tag axle
transfers extra weight and additional traction to
the drive wheels providing improved control on
slippery roads.
Caution: In order to prevent damage to the
suspension, always raise the tag axle before
lifting the coach.
Caution: Never lower the tag axle while coach
is moving.
IN-STATION LIGHTING
The in-station lighting system circuit is linked
with the optional battery charger: When the
charger is connected to an external power
source, the in-station lighting circuit can be
energized without depleting the batteries.
The receptacle used for the battery charger is
located on the main power compartment door
COOLANT HEATER
This optional auxiliary heating system is used for
preheating and retaining the heat of water-
cooled engines. It can be used before startup to
ease starting and to provide rapid operation of
the interior heating system. It can also be used
with the engine running to maintain coolant heat
and interior temperature.
The heater operates independently of the
engine. It is connected to the cooling system,
heating circuits and to the vehicle’s fuel and
electrical system.
Warning: The coolant heating system uses the
same fuel as the engine. Do not operate in a
closed building or while refueling. Operate only
in a well ventilated area.
The coolant heater is located in a compartment
in the lower part of the rear electrical
compartment. To access the coolant heater,
remove the panel in the rear electrical
compartment.
