8.3 TOWING
1. Emergency Starting:
Do not tow the motorhome in an attempt to start it. The powertrain is not designed to transmit torque to turn the
engine over for starting.
2. Jump Starting:
Open the hood and connect the jumper cables to the battery posts. Always connect positive to positive and negative to
the frame. You can use the coach battery if it is fully charged and the jumper cables are long enough. Open compartment
and slide out battery tray to access batteries.
3. Vehicle Break-Down:
When the vehicle breaks down, it should be towed in for repair by an approved towing service. If the vehicle breaks
down on the roadway, pull o the road and stop. Engage parking brakes and turn on the hazard warning lights. Place
chocks by the wheels if it is not level. Call an approved towing service to come and get the motorhome. Be sure to tell
the towing service what kind of vehicle it is and its weight, length, width and height. The towing company will then
dispatch a proper sized tow truck for your vehicle.
8.4 OVERHEATING
If the engine overheats while driving:
1. Pull o the side of the road and stop immediately.
2. Shut engine o.
3. Check for proper coolant level in the recovery tank. The coolant level should be between the “full” and “add” marks on
the tank.
4. If the coolant level is low:
a. Check for leaks at hose connections, from the radiator or at the water pump. Make sure the belts are tight and that
the cooling fan is turning.
b. Add coolant to the recovery tank as soon as possible.
c. If coolant is being lost due to leaks; if the fan belt is broken or too loose; if the red warning light stays on, stop the
engine until the problem is corrected.
5. Check the radiator face for obstructions such as a build-up of bugs. Have a professional service shop clean your radiator
if obstructed.
6. Once the temperature gauge returns to normal, resume driving, keeping an eye on the gauge. Do Not resume driving
until the problem has been corrected and the temperature is normal.
The driveshaft must be removed from the vehicle be-
fore towing. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the transmission.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
Hot uid and steam can blow out and cause severe
burns.
