SERVICE
Chassis service is a concern for every vehicle owner.
Ford and Workhorse custom chassis have recognized
this and have developed nationwide Service Cent-
ers. Each service center has the facilities, technicians,
equipment and part availability to properly service
your motorhome chassis.

jobs, unlock the front grille and swing it upward. With
the grille open you can access the following:
1. Engine Oil Dipstick
2. Engine Oil Filler Pipe
3. Power Steering Reservoir
4. Radiator Cap
5. Engine Coolant Overow Tank
6. Transmission Dipstick and Fill Tube
7. Block Heater Cord

plete information and instructions on checking, lling

15.4 AC AND OIL COOLERS
Additional cooling capacity is provided at the front
of the vehicle for the oil coolers and air conditioner
condenser. Keep all the coolers clean. Access them by
opening the front grill.
15.5 TIRES
Make sure to keep tires at the proper level of ina-
tion. Low pressure will cause poor handling as well as
exceptional wear and tear on the tires. Adjust the tire
pressure according to the loaded weight of the coach.
CAUTION
When replacing tires make sure to select tires of the
same size and ply rating as the ones installed as origi-
nal equipment.
See the vehicle certication label located on the door
post and the Tire Manufacturer's Owner Information for
recommended tires and tire pressure.
