SECTION 15
– Chassis
15-2
Class A
Workhorse chassis use GM Dexcool
LLC, which is a bright, pink/orange
color.
Ford chassis use Ford Premium Gold
(GO 5), which is a golden color.
TIRES
Low air pressure results in tire overloading
and abnormal wear and also affects handling and
fuel economy. Obtain proper inflation pressures
from your chassis operating guide or tire
manufacturer.
Do not mix different construction types of
tires on the vehicle such as radial, bias or belted
tires, as vehicle handling may be affected.
Replace tires with exact size, type and load range.
See the Vehicle Certification Label affixed to
the wall to the left of the driver’s seat for tire
information.
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of
this vehicle was factory aligned using highly
accurate equipment prior to delivery to the
dealership. However, we recommend that
alignment should be checked and adjusted, after
you have fully loaded the motor home according
to your personal needs. Thereafter, the alignment
should be periodically inspected to help prevent
uneven tire wear.
Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may
indicate worn or misaligned suspension or
steering, unbalanced tire or other tire/suspension
problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/
suspension parts or by incidents which happen
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole or
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may
also cause the vehicle to “pull” to the right or left.
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle’s
suspension and steering components periodically
for misalignment or wear.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
can lead to annoying vibrations and uneven tread
wear such as cupping and flat spots. Tires may
need to be balanced if uneven wear is detected or
if ride comfort decreases noticeably.
See your chassis operating guide for further
information.
FRONT AIR SPRINGS
–Workhorse Chassis
Some workhorse chassis are equipped with air
bags inside the front suspension springs. See your
Workhorse owner’s manual for inspection
instructions and air pressure specifications.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS AND
WIPERS
See your chassis operating guide for
recommendations and precautions regarding
washers and wipers.
LIGHTS
All exterior lights should be checked for
proper operation each time the vehicle is
prepared for a trip. Any bulbs which fail to light
CAUTION
When refilling the coolant system of a
vehicle equipped with a rear auxiliary
automotive heater and motoraid water
heater, be sure to allow for additional
coolant capacity of the heater and its
supply and return hoses.
WARNING
Make sure all replacement tires are of the
same size and ply rating as those
installed as original equipment.
