Top alternator failure:
1. Raise the belt tensioner. Use a breaker bar
with a ¾ inch drive to rotate the tensioner
pulley upward and relieve alternator belt
tension. Remove belt;
2. Remove the compressor drive belt snubber
assembly and bracket;
3. Install the limp-home drive belt (#506669) on
the drive and lower alternator pulleys first;
4. Install the belt on the top idler pulley;
5. Slide the belt on the lower idler pulley. Use
a screwdriver or even a quarter to ease
clearing the pulley lip (the lower pulley is
devoid of grooves, making it easier to slide
the belt in place);

figure below.
Note: To prevent the batteries from discharging,
the HVAC system is turned OFF when running
on a single alternator.

SPARE WHEEL AND TIRE
The spare wheel and tire is located in a
compartment behind the reclining front bumper.
In case of a flat tire, turn ON the hazard flashers
and bring the coach to a stop on the side of the
road. Apply the parking brake. Make sure the
coach is parked safely away from traffic. Set up
the triangular reflectors in accordance with
applicable highway regulations.
Refer to Care and Maintenance chapter for
instructions on replacing a wheel.
Spare wheel compartment
To access, use the bumper wrench found in the
tool kit to unscrew both bumper nuts about ten
turns. Push up the bumper to unhook, then
lower to the ground. A safety chain prevents the
bumper from dropping down completely in one
single movement. Unhook the chain to lower the
bumper completely.
Warning: Although powerful springs assist in
reclining the bumper, it remains heavy and rests
low when open. Caution should be used when
reclining.
To close, tilt up the bumper, attach the chain
then slam shut. Tighten the bumper nuts.
