Do not use the hydraulic leveling jack system to support the motor home
while under the vehicle or changing tires. The hydraulic leveling system is
designed as a leveling system only. Do not use the hydraulic leveling jack
system as a jack or in conjunction with a jack. It is highly recommended that,
should a tire change be required, it be performed by a knowledgeable, trained
professional. Attempts to change tires while supporting the motor home with
the hydraulic leveling jack system could result in damage to the motor home
and risk causing serious injury or death..

When replacing a tire, make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to your Chassis Guide for assistance.)

Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide included in your Warranty Packet for operating and
safety information.
Awning care
It is a good idea to keep the awnings in the closed position if you will be away from the
recreation vehicle for an extended period of time. Keep your awnings clean and in good
condition to prevent costly repairs.
Periodically check that the fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary.
Keep the awning fabric clean. For detailed cleaning information, refer to the
manufacturer’s owner information included in the Warranty Packet.
The 12-volt power awning (if so equipped) may need to be adjusted (retracted) to operate
the entry door (some models).
It is recommended that if leaving the RV unattended for a length of time,
retract the awning to avoid unexpected climate conditions.

The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable and can cause
severe damage to the awning and/or the recreation vehicle. If wind or extended
periods of rain are expected, retract the awning.
