AUXILIARY START SWITCH
The auxiliary start switch (Figure 9-2) is located on the driv-
er’s-side console box. This switch briefly connects the Allegro
coach batteries to the chassis batteries—this allows the chassis
batteries to “borrow” power from the coach batteries to assist
in starting the engine.
If the chassis batteries cannot themselves start the engine in
the “normal” mode, hold down the battery-boost switch and
retry starting the engine.
By using the battery-boost switch while trying to start the
Allegro engine, a jump-start situation is realized between the
coach and chassis batteries. If the battery-boost switch is re-
quired to start the engine on a regular basis, ask your Tiffin Motorhomes Dealership to check the chas-
sis batteries and the associated charging system.

BATTERY INSPECTION AND CARE
The motorhome batteries which constitute the
12 VDC system are contained inside the motor-
home entrance step well (Figure 9-4).
To access these batteries, open the access panel
on the steps. When access to the batteries is no
longer needed, close and securely fasten the ac-
cess cover to place these steps back in service.
When batteries are not used for extended peri-
ods of time, they will gradually lose their electri-
cal charge. Therefore, it is necessary periodically
to recharge the batteries to increase the opera-
tional lives of the batteries. It is also necessary to
check the external condition of the batteries on a
regular basis.
