FINGERS OR OTHER OBJECTS INTO THE PROTECTIVE CAGE.
The fan switch turn the power ON or OFF to the overhead defroster fans. Each fan
can be operated separately with individual switches on the dash, if this switch is in the
OFF/HIGH/LOW position. The purpose of the windshield fan is to aid in defrosting the
windshield. Turning the fans toward the cockpit area may cause visibility issues and
may also come in contact with other overhead components.

IMPORTANT
: The Chassis Owner's Manual furnished with the motor home has complete information for
operating and maintaining the chassis functions. The appearance of the gauges may not match the diagrams
but is intended for reference.
Operation:
1. Start the engine.
2. Use Reverse (R) to back the vehicle. Completely stop the vehicle before shifting from a
forward gear to Reverse (R) or from Reverse (R) to a forward gear. There is only one Reverse
(R) gear.
3. Select Drive (D) for all normal driving conditions. The vehicle will start out in First (1) gear, and
as speed increases, the transmission will upshift through each gear automatically. As
the vehicle slows down, the transmission will downshift to the correct gear automatically. The
pressure of your foot on the accelerator pedal influences the automatic shifting. When the
pedal is fully depressed, the transmission will automatically upshift near the governed speed
of the engine. A partially depressed position of
the pedal will cause the upshifts to occur at a
lower engine speed.
4. Occasionally the road, load, or traffic conditions
make it desirable to restrict the automatic
shifting to a lower range. The lower the gear
range, the greater the engine braking power.
Use the up or down arrow buttons on the shift
selector to reach the desired gear.
5. Use Neutral (N) and apply the parking brake
when the vehicle is parked with the engine
running.
Note:
See the Allison Transmission Owner’s
Manual for more information on 3000 and
4000 MH transmission operation.
Note:
In the lower gear ranges, the
transmission will not upshift above the
highest gear selected unless the engine
governed speed is exceeded.
