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 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 road characteristics and visibility.
For example:
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 weak or discharged battery will not supply
the amount of CCA (Cold Cranking Amps)
necessary to initiate the required voltage to
start the engine. If the engine fails to crank, or
cranks slowly due to a weak chassis battery,
there are electrical back-up systems in place
that may increase chassis battery voltage.
