WHEEL MOUNTING NUTS
(LUG NUTS)
The mounting bolts and nuts for the standard
steel wheels are designed specifically for the type
of wheel. See the following information and
photos.
Steel Wheels
• The lug nut for steel wheels is a non-plated,
hat-shaped, flange nut. The accompanying
dome-shaped, split cone washer should be
positioned ‘dome first’ onto the wheel stud
before the nut as shown.
JUMP STARTING
If your coach will not start from the chassis
battery, try using the Battery Boost switch to
divert power from the house batteries to the
starter. (See “Battery Boost Switch” in Section 3
- Driving Your Motor Home).
If you wish to try jump starting the engine
using another vehicle or booster system, see your
chassis manual for connecting jumper cables to
the automotive electrical system.
ENGINE OVERHEAT
If you see or hear steam escaping from the
engine compartment or have any other reason to
suspect an extreme engine overheating condition,
pull the vehicle over to the roadside as soon as it
is safe to do so, stop the engine, and get all
passengers out of the vehicle.
For information on what to do in case of
overheating, consult your chassis manual.
Stay out from beneath the motorhome
while it is suspended by the towing
assembly. Do not allow passengers to
occupy a towed vehicle. Death or serious
injury can result.
