It may be possible to rock the motorhome out if you are stuck in snow,
mud or deep sand. Shift the selector to D (Drive) and apply steady light
throttle. Never full throttle as you may spin the wheels and bury yourself
deeper. When the motorhome has moved forward as far it will go, apply and
hold the service brakes. Allow the engine to return to idle before selecting
the R (Reverse). Release the brake and apply light throttle until the
motorhome has rocked as far it will go. Again, apply the service brake and
allow the engine to return to idle. Repeat this process if the motorhome has
moved a greater distance. If the process does not free the motorhome, call for
towing assistance.
NOTE: Sudden movements or lurching the motorhome
with an open throttle can result in damage to the trans-
mission. Avoid this condition by making shifts only when
the throttle is closed and engine is at normal idle.
When using jumper cables to start the engine, make sure the cables are
connected in parallel. That is positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to
negative (-). Always connect your positive (+) before the negative (-) and
disconnect the negative (-) before the positive (+) to prevent arcing. When
using an external electrical source to start the engine, shut the disconnect
switch to OFF position.
Batteries can emit explosive gases. Always ventilate the battery compart-
ment prior to any work or service to the batteries. Extinguish all smoking
material and keep all open flame and spark producing devices away from
battery area.
In the event of a roadside emergency, contact the nearest Cummins Center
or phone 800-343-7357 for Cummins Customer Assistance Center.
WARNING: The gases around the battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks or lit cigarettes. An explosion
can result in injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain
sulfuric acid, which burns skin, eyes and clothing. Do not
connect the end of the second cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal of the battery to be jumped. A spark may cause
and explosion of the gases that surround the battery.
Connect only to chassis, away from the battery.
If a towing company is called for service it is recommended that
they use a lowboy/landall type of trailer and if a tow truck is used it
needs to have a stinger (an arm that goes under motorhome and
hooks to front cross member). Inform the tow company of the
weight and length of the motorhome, number of passengers and
milepost location.
