2012 Trip
Water in Fuel:
If the Check Engine (Warning Triangle) lamp
is illuminated, engine control circuits may
have detected water in the fuel filter. Do not
continue engine operation. Fuel contaminated
with water can damage fuel injectors. Water is
heavier than fuel and will collect at the bottom
of the filter or filter housing. Drain the filter
using the valve on the bottom of the filter.
NOTE:
Always carry an extra filter as one
tank full of excessively contaminated
diesel fuel can plug a filter.
To Drain the Filter:
Wear safety glasses.
Shut off the engine.
Open the drain valve. Drain water/
fuel into a container and dispose of in
accordance with local environmental
regulations.
Close the drain valve when clear fuel is
visible.
NOTE:
Water and sediment from the filter can
contain petroleum products. Consult
the local environmental agency for
recommended disposal guidelines.
Priming the Engine:
1. Fill tank with 30 gallons of fuel, or
more if parked on a slant.
2. Turn key on for 10 seconds then off
15 seconds.
3. Perform cycle 3 times to prime
system.
4. Attempt to start the engine. If the
engine fails to start, repeat steps 2
and 3.
NOTE:
This procedure may have to be
performed a few times.
HyDraUlIc SyStem
When performing a pre-check of the
motorhome, look for oil leaks under the
motorhome and around hose fittings. If a hose
connection appears to be leaking, clean the
surrounding area. If seepage continues, have
the problem corrected to prevent untimely
failure.
Hydraulic Reservoir
The power steering reservoir with internal
filter is located roadside in the engine
compartment adjacent to the steering gear. The
filter is rated at ten micron*. The reservoir is
filled with AW-46 hydraulic oil.
Filter number: 84365A (ten micron*)
*One micron is one millionth of one meter.
NOTE:
Filter is accurate at time of printing.
Confirm part number before ordering
or obtaining replacement.
The primary function of the power steering
reservoir is to keep the steering system free of
contamination and to dissipate excessive heat
that builds during operation. Check the oil
level in the reservoir prior to each trip. The oil
dipstick fill is located on top of the reservoir.
The oil level should be kept between the full
and add marks on the dipstick.
Checking the Fluid Level:
Start the engine and allow
it to reach normal operating
temperature.
While the engine is at idle,
turn the steering wheel left
and right several times.
Shut the engine off.
Rotate the T-handle
counterclockwise to remove
the dipstick.
Check the fluid level on the
Hot side of the dipstick in
the area marked Hot. Do not
exceed the full mark.
