DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
listening while parked. This prevents accidental
draining of the chassis battery by prolonged use
of the radio.
NOTE:The Aux. Battery Disconnect switch must
be on while listening to the dash radio
because the audio relay is powered by
house batteries. If the Aux Batt switch is
off, the speakers will not emit sound.
CB RADIO POWER WIRING
Your coach is pre-wired for CB radio power
connection. The wires are located beneath the
dash to the left of the steering wheel.
Look for a pair of wires, yellow (+) and white
(-), with connectors and flag labels, suspended
from the wiring harness.
FUEL SELECTION
Refer to your chassis manual for the
manufacturer's recommendations on proper fuel
selection.
Winter Fuel Waxing and Anti-Gel
Additives
In sub-freezing temperatures, #2 diesel fuel
can form small wax crystals that become trapped
in the fuel filter and block the fuel flow to the
engine, causing it to stall out. At sub-zero
temperatures, the fuel can congeal and turn
“slushy”. If this happens, the only remedy is to
have the vehicle towed into a heated facility to
allow the fuel to warm up and become fully
liquid again.
During winter time, most truck stops and
reputable filling stations have winter blend diesel
fuels available that are less susceptible to waxing.
There are also commercially available
products, typically called anti-gel additives, to
add to diesel fuel while filling the tank to inhibit
wax formation in freezing temperatures.
Consult your chassis manual or diesel engine
guide for more information on fuel requirements
and additives.
