Class A
TIRES
Improper tire pressure can result in tire
overloading and abnormal wear and also affects
handling, ride characteristics and fuel economy.
See the Vehicle Certification Label for tire
information.
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of
this vehicle was factory aligned using highly
accurate equipment prior to delivery to the
dealership. However, we recommend that
alignment should be checked and adjusted after
you have fully loaded the motor home according
to your personal needs. Thereafter, the alignment
should be periodically inspected to help prevent
uneven tire wear.
Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may
indicate worn or misaligned suspension or
steering, unbalanced tire or other tire/suspension
problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/
suspension parts or by incidents which happen
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole or
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may
also cause the vehicle to “pull” to the right or left.
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle’s
suspension and steering components periodically
for misalignment or wear.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
can lead to vibrations and uneven tread wear such
as cupping and flat spots. Tires may need to be
balanced if uneven wear is detected or if ride
comfort decreases noticeably.
See your chassis operating guide for further
information.
AIR SPRINGS – FRONT
- Workhorse P32 Chassis only
Workhorse chassis with coil springs are
equipped with air bags inside the front
suspension springs. See your Workhorse owner’s
manual for inspection instructions and air
pressure specifications.
LIGHTS
All exterior lights should be checked for
proper operation each time the vehicle is
prepared for a trip. Any bulbs which fail to light
should be checked and replaced, when necessary,
with a new bulb of the same size. A failure of
more than one light, such as both taillights not
operating, may indicate a burned out fuse. Check
fuse and replace with one of the same rating
when necessary. If a fuse is not the cause of the
problem, the wiring system should be checked
immediately by an authorized service center.
Refer to your chassis operating guide for
further information.
FUSES AND CIRCUIT
BREAKERS – AUTOMOTIVE
12V
The automotive fuses and breakers are
conveniently located on a panel beneath the
hinged instrument panel pod. Lift the pod upward
as shown.
Always replace plug-in type fuses with those
of the same amperage size.
WARNING
Make sure all replacement tires are of the
same size and ply rating as those
installed as original equipment.
