sel models are different from gas. Check engine or chassis manual for rec-
ommendations.
7. Lubricate all grease fittings according to manufacturer’s instructions. See
Appendix A for chassis lubrication points.
8. Check rear axle oil and change according to manufacturer’s instructions.
9. Radiator - check for leaks and keep full of water and antifreeze per manu-
facturer’s instructions. Check all hoses and replace if signs of age cracking
appear.
CAUTION - Never remove the vent caps or add water to gel-type batteries
under any circumstance.
Keep terminals tight and clean. Remove cables once a year and clean bat-
tery post and inside of cable clamps to remove corrosion, (more than once
a year, if needed). Clean acid off battery and battery case with plain baking
soda and water. Be careful and do not get any into the battery as it will dam-
age it. Make sure all terminals are tight, then cover with Vaseline or grease
to prevent corrosion.
11. Check all wheel lug bolts - be sure they are tight. Torque to manufacturer's
specifications.
12. Maintain correct tire pressure - too much will make tires wear out the tread
more in the middle and it will give you a very rough ride. Low tire pressure
will wear both outside treads more and can cause damage to tire from heat
build-up from sidewall flexing. If there are any signs of uneven wear (dif-
ferent from above two) or excessive wear, have tire alignment and balance
checked. (Refer to manufacturer’s booklet).
13. Check all belts regularly for correct tightness. If excess wear or breaks are
indicated, install new belts. Belts are much cheaper than a major overhaul.
We recommend carrying a complete extra set of belts for emergency re-
placement.
14. Make it a practice to check all major bolts and nuts (inside, outside, under-
neath and on top) to be sure all are secure and tight before and after any long
trip. If only short trips are made, you should still check at least once a year
or sooner if roads are rough.
15. A.C. Generator - follow manufacturer’s instructions.
16. Auto air conditioner should be turned on and run for 5 minutes every couple
of months to keep seals in good condition. If unit does not cool, it is possi-
ble that part or all the freon may have leaked out. If you don't have proper
tools, it is best to go to your RV service center for repairs.
