TOWING PROCEDURES
If calling a towing company for service, it is
recommended to use a lowboy type of trailer . If a tow
truck is used it needs to have a support arm that goes
under the motorhome and secures to the front axle .
Inform the tow company of the axle weights, overall
height and total weight of the motorhome .
WARNING:
Always ventilate the battery compartment prior to
any work or service to the batteries . Gas emitted
by the batteries can explode when exposed to
smoking material, flames, sparks or other sources
of ignition, resulting in injury or vehicle damage .
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn skin,
eyes and clothing . Do not connect the end of the
second cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
battery to be jumped . Connect only to the chassis,
away from the battery .
CAUTION:
Do not use the towed vehicle for jump starting .
The charging system of the towed vehicle does
not supply the amperage necessary to jump start
the motorhome . Voltage sensitive equipment on
the towed vehicle can be damaged and render the
towed vehicle disabled .
CAUTION:
A large amount of electrical current is required
to jump-start an engine . The sizes of the battery,
alternator and jumper cables supplying the “jump”
are current limiting factors . Wait a sufficient
amount of time for a surface charge to build before
attempting to start the engine . Voltage fluctuations
that occur during a jump-start procedure can
damage sensitive electronic equipment and
charging systems . If a jump-start is necessary, it
is recommended to call Roadside Assistance . They
will have the equipment necessary to jump start
the motorhome .

maximum height is exceeded .
