SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: Your motor home’s load capacity is des-

ignated by weight, not by volume, so you

cannot necessarily use all available

space when loading your motor home.

MAINTENANCE

· Do not remove the radiator cap while engine

and radiator are still hot. Always check cool-

ant level visually at the see-through coolant

reservoir.

· Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by

a jack.

· Do not mix different construction types of

tires on the vehicle such as radial, bias or belt-

ed tires, as vehicle handling may be affected.

Replace tires with exact size, type and load

range.

· Do not attempt to start the vehicle by hot wir-

ing.

FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION

IMPORTANT

To aid in dissipation, ventilate the vehicle by

opening all windows and circulating the air with

a fan.

CARBON MONOXIDE

WARNING

If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering

the passenger compartment, have the cause deter-

mined and corrected as soon as possible. If you

must drive under these conditions, drive only

with ALL WINDOWS FULLY OPENED.

The best protection against carbon monoxide

entry into the vehicle body is a properly main-

tained engine exhaust and ventilation system. It is

recommended that the exhaust system and body

be inspected by a qualified motor home service

center.

· Each time the vehicle is raised for an oil

change.

· Whenever a change in the sound of the ex-

haust system is noticed.

· Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or

rear of the vehicle is damaged.

To allow proper operation of the vehicle’s

ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet

grill clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at

all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED VE-

HICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD.

Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a

garage, except to move vehicle in or out of area.

When vehicle is stopped in an UNCONFINED

area with the engine running for any more than a

short period, adjust heating or cooling system to

force outside air into the vehicle as follows:

Some components in this vehicle con-

tain formaldehyde based adhesives

which may release formaldehyde

fumes into the air for an unknown

period of time until total dissipation

occurs. Individuals who are allergic

to formaldehyde gas fumes may

experience irritation to eyes, ears,

nose and throat. Reaction in infants

may be more severe. Although long

range effects are not well understood,

testing to date has not revealed any

serious health effects in humans at the

level of emission from these

products.

WARNING

Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they

contain carbon monoxide, which is a

colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
