emergency roaDSIDe proceDUreS
If an emergency situation occurs, use the
appropriate braking technique and pull off
the roadway a safe distance from traffic (if
possible). Set the parking brake and turn on
the hazard warning flashers, especially when
parked alongside traffic lanes. In the event
of an emergency stop due to a mechanical
breakdown or other motorhome related
problems, contact the manufacturer’s customer
support or an emergency service provider.
Road flares or reflective warning signs
should be displayed if the motorhome is on
the side of the road for any length of time.
Guidelines for placing warning triangles
depend upon the road characteristics and
visibility.
For example:
The standard
placement is 10, 100 and 200 ft. from the
rear of the motorhome when on a divided
highway or one-way road. On a two-way
road, with traffic traveling both directions,
the same placement is required at the front of
the motorhome. Roads with curves and hills
may require the placement of the last/furthest
triangle to be 500 ft. behind the motorhome in
order to safely warn approaching traffic.
In Case of Flat Tire
In the event of a flat tire, it is
recommended to call for roadside
assistance. The size and weight of
the motorhome and its tires require
proper equipment to change the tire.
A professional service technician will have
the equipment and training needed to repair
or replace the tire. In the case
of sudden tire
failure, avoid heavy braking. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually decrease speed.
Slowly move to a safe off-road place which
should be a firm level spot. Turn the ignition
off and turn the hazard flasher system on. Save
the old tire for possible warranty coverage.
WARNING:
DO NOT crawl under the motorhome
for any reason if a wheel has
been removed. Any number of
circumstances could cause the
motorhome to suddenly fall, resulting
in severe injury or death.
Dead Chassis Battery
A discharged battery will not supply the
amount of amperage necessary to crank and
start the engine. If the engine fails to crank,
or cranks slowly due to a discharged chassis
battery, the Battery Boost switch will allow a
temporary connection of the house battery to
the chassis battery to increase amperage.
Battery Boost Switch:
The Battery Boost switch
engages a heavy-duty solenoid
to electrically connect the house
batteries to the engine battery
in the event the engine will not
crank or cranks slowly. The
solenoid is designed for short-
term high-current intermittent use. Engaging
the boost solenoid for an extended period will
damage the solenoid.
Jump Starting Using Battery Boost
Switch:
With ignition key Off, press and hold the
Battery Boost switch for ten seconds. After
ten seconds, continue to hold the switch
and attempt to crank the engine.
If the engine fails to crank or does not
crank fast enough, discontinue the attempt.
Continued attempts will only diminish any
remaining surface charge in the chassis
battery and end future alternative attempts.
Next, start the generator. This may require
using the Battery Boost switch for the
generator to start from the engine battery.
Once the generator is operating, the
electrical combination of the generator and
the inverter will charge the batteries.
