Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Emergency Stopping
Always carry road flares or reflective warning signs. Pull off the roadway as far as possible
for emergency stopping. Turn ON your vehicle hazard warning flashers. If traveling at
night, use three red warning indicators such as flares, reflectors or lanterns as required by the
Uniform Vehicle Code and Model Traffic Ordinance as follows:
1.
Place the first warning indicator on the traffic side of the recreation vehicle, directed at
the nearest approaching traffic.
2. Place the second warning indicator 100 feet behind the recreation vehicle in the center
of the lane and toward approaching traffic.
3. Place the third warning indicator 100 feet in front of the recreation vehicle in the center
of the lane and away from the traffic approaching from behind.
NOTE:
Curves and/or hills may affect the safe placement of warning
indicators.
For personal safety, always stand off the road and out of the way of traffic.
Emergency Towing
If your motorhome ever needs to be towed, refer to the instructions in your Chassis Guide.
Please contact your road service provider (if applicable) or a qualified service facility for
assistance.
Make sure the road service technician reads and is familiar with the information contained
in your Chassis Guide regarding emergency towing.
Never allow anyone to go under the motorhome while it is being lifted
by towing equipment.
When the unit is being towed, be aware of the strap locations. Misplaced
straps could result in damage to the exterior of your unit. Damage result-
ing from misplaced straps is the responsibility of the towing company,
and is not covered by the unit warranty.
Front Axle Tire Alignment
The term alignment refers to both the adjustment angles on the steering axle and suspension
and tracking of the rear axle. Steering components, suspension, wheel bearings and even
proper loading will affect the alignment.
We recommend you have the front suspension and steering alignment checked and adjusted
after you have fully loaded the vehicle according to your needs as part of the vehicle main-
tenance. Thereafter, it is your responsibility to have the alignment inspected periodically to
maintain vehicle steering performance and prevent uneven tire wear as part of your normal
maintenance.
