NOTE
The fresh water reservoir may be equipped with an
optional thermal valve which is set to open at about
35°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 fluids 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
WARNING
Check the engine oil level with vehicle parked on a
level surface and with the parking brake engaged.
Check engine oil level when engine is still warm.
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.
Do not let the oil level fall below the marking on the
dipstick. Do not overfill so the level is above the
upper marking on the dipstick. Add oil through the oil
filler pipe as required in order to maintain level within
the safe range
