SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
•
When you have come to a stop, activate your
hazard flashers to warn other motorists, then
exit the vehicle carefully.
•
Set out flares or other warning devices.
Check your tires for proper inflation before
each trip and at least once a month with an
accurate tire gauge. See “Valve Stem Access” in
Section 3 - Driving Your Motorhome
.
Spare Tire Storage
If your coach is supplied with a spare tire, it
may be fastened to the backwall of the coach.
Some models, however, may have a swing-
down spare tire carrier beneath the rear of the
coach. Please follow all safety warnings and
instructions for removing spare tire from the
carrier.
Swing-Down Carrier
•
Support tire carrier with a jack or block while
removing wire pin and wing nut from bolt at
front of carrier.
•
Carefully lower tire carrier to ground.
•
Lift or slide tire from carrier.
•
Do not over-tighten wing nut when returning
carrier to storage position.
Recovery Towing
When calling a professional towing service,
we recommend that you advise them of your
coach length and approximate front axle weight
listed on your Vehicle Certification Label. This
will allow the towing operator to determine the
proper towing equipment to use.

WHEEL TRIM – STANDARD
(Mercedes-Benz

Note: Reference the chassis manufacturer’s user
guide provided in your InfoCase for
complete instructions and cautions on
changing a wheel.
The wheel on your coach has a push on liner
which is removed similar to a hubcap. Remove
the covers by carefully prying the perimeter
flange away from the wheel flange.
Check for valve stem location and the valve
stem clearance notch (located on the back side of
the front cover).
CAUTION
Do not lie beneath tire carrier while
removing tire. The tire can fall and injury
can occur.
NOTICE
Do not lift on bumper. Damage will result
to front end body parts.
WARNING
Stay out from beneath the motorhome
while it is suspended by the towing
assembly. Do not allow passengers to
occupy a towed vehicle. Death or serious
injury can result.
