8 EMERGENCIES WHILE DRIVING
Your Triple E Motorhome is designed with features
that allow the driver/occupants to resolve emergency
or failures when travelling. Review this section to be
familiar with the recommended procedure to resolve
these conditions or situations. Review this section with
all new drivers and before each trip.
8.1 HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Each motorhome is designed with a hazard warning
light system that is similar to the system on an auto-
mobile. Both the front and rear turn signals ash in
unison when the system is turned on.
Although the control switch is normally located on
the steering column, refer to the chassis manual for
details.
It is recommended that the warning lights be used
whenever the vehicle is stopped on the side of the
roadway. The intermittent ashing lights will alert other
motorists to a potential hazard and to take extra care.
The system is designed to continue to ash when the
switch is on even though the ignition key is removed
and you have left the vehicle.
8.2 FLAT TIRE
When you have a at tire while driving, slow the vehi-
cle gradually to prevent losing control and pull o to
the side of the road. Stop on a level rm surface and
engage parking brake. Turn on hazard warning lights
to alert other drivers to use extra caution when driving
in the vicinity.
It is recommended that a professional qualied road
service be used whenever possible. If this is not pos-
sible, follow the instructions in the chassis manual.
Refer to chassis manual for instructions on where to
place jack under the frame. Review and follow all
safety precuations listed.
Be sure the lug nuts are tightened to their specied
torque. Always use an accurate torque wrench when
mounting the wheel. Check the torque and re-tighten
after 25 and 100 driving miles. Check the wheel nut
torque at each oil change.
Safety Reminders:
1. Park the motorhome on a level surface.
2. Turn o the engine and set the parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning asher.
4. Block both front and back of the tire on the opposite
side of the vehicle from the at tire.
5. If the ground is soft, use a support board under the
jack to keep the jack from sinking.
6. Make sure to use only the jacking points described
in your chassis owner's manual.
7. Never get any part of your body under the vehicle
while jacking or while it is suspended.
