2013 HOLIDAY RAMBLER
Dust Caps with Zerk:
These caps provide serviceability with a
grease gun. Use a hand grease gun only when
servicing. Over-pressurization can damage the
grease seal contaminating the brake linings.
NOTE:
Do not mix grease base types.
Thoroughly remove old grease from all
surfaces when servicing the bearings.
INSPECTION:
Inspect the wheel bearings every year
or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
BAckINg up ThE REcREATIONAL vEhIcLE
The driver should be comfortable using the
mirrors and/or the co-pilot’s directions for
assistance. Practice backing up in a large,
unobstructed parking lot. Select a solid, level
site located on the roadside with a direct field
of vision from the roadside mirror.
If the site is on the curbside, the driver will
have a blind spot when backing up. Stop
before backing into a site. Get out and observe
the area for soft ground, posts, large rocks, low
hanging tree limbs or other obstacles. When
site conditions are satisfactory, prepare to back
in carefully.
Make a wide turn then turn back the opposite
direction to set the recreational vehicle in a
position to maneuver into the space.
The driver may become disoriented by the
direction of the steering wheel in relation
to the direction of the recreational vehicle
when backing up. Move the bottom of the
steering wheel in the desired direction of the
recreational vehicle.
Example: If the desired direction of the
recreational vehicle is left, rotate the bottom
of the steering wheel left. If the recreational
vehicle moves in an undesirable direction,
pull forward just far enough to realign the
recreational vehicle with the space.
The co-pilot should stand safely at the left
rear corner of the recreational vehicle, within
view of the driver in the roadside mirror, and
use the hand signals for directing travel of
the rear of recreational vehicle. If the desired
direction of the recreational vehicle is left, the
co-pilot points left. This type of directional
signal is easily discerned in the mirror by the
driver. Keep directional signals steady until
movement is done.
The Five Directional Signals are:
1. Co-pilot uses left hand and arm held
horizontal with forefinger pointing
right, to direct rear of recreational
vehicle right.
2. Co-pilot uses right hand and arm held
horizontal, with forefinger pointing
left, to direct rear of recreational
vehicle to the left.
