EXTERIOR FEATURES CONTINUED
ELECTRIC STEPS CONTINUED
CAUTION:
DO NOT travel with the power steps in the extended position. If the
motorhome is driven with the steps in the extended position, there is a very good
possibility of causing major damage to both the steps and the motorhome.
NOTICE:
If the side entry door is opened and closed without allowing for the
side entry steps to extend fully and lock in the "DOWN" position, the step will
retract and lock in the "UP" position.
When the side entry door is re-opened the step "WILL NOT" extend. The power
switch for the side entry steps must be turned back to the "ON" position for the
steps to extend and lock into place.
CAUTION: Always be sure to "LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!" When opening
the side entry door from the inside, be sure that the steps have fully deployed and
are locked in the extended position.
Failure to do so could lead to a fall and possible personal injury.
TONGUE WEIGHT
Your motorhomes towing tongue weight should
never exceed 10% of the towing hitch capacity.
Your Wayfarers maximum towing capacity is
5,000 lbs. which means your maximum towing
weight is 500 lbs.
To calculate your tongue weight, utilize the
components shown in (Figure 99.1).
For every foot the scale is away from the trailer
tongue, multiply that number against the weight
shown on the scale
(i.e., Weight on scale is 180
pounds and scale is 3 feet from tongue. 160x3
= 480 lbs.). Overall weight can never exceed
500 lbs.
You can also get your tongue weight measured
at any certified weight scale.
Figure 99.1
To Measure Tongue Weight, Utilize Components
Shown.
Multiply Weight on Scale By Number of Feet
Scale is From Center of Tongue.
In Image Above, Scale Is 3 Feet From Center of
Tongue. Multiply Weight On Scale By 3.
