Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Proper inflation should be monitored closely. Failure to do so could result in the overheating
of a tire causing a blowout. Inflation pressure should be as recommended by the tire manu
-
facturer or as the federal label for the recreation vehicle indicates.
When you are using your Recreation Vehicle, check inflation pressure weekly. Pressure
should be checked when the tires are cold. During travel, tires heat up and pressure increas-
es.
Do not bleed air from hot tires or your tires may then be under-inflated.
™
NOTE: Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as a tire that has not been used
for three or more hours, or has been driven less than one mile. Tire inflation
pressure of a hot tire may show an increase of as much as 6 psi over a cold
tire.
It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of each
trip to obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow the instructions listed on
the Federal Certification label, to determine the correct tire pressure. Under-
inflation may cause tire failures and swaying resulting in loss of control, in
-
jury, death or property damage.
Changing A Tire
If you experience a flat tire on your motor home while driving, gradually decrease your
vehicle speed (if possible), and move the motor home to a safe place on the side of the road.
Contact your road service provider (if applicable) or a qualified service facility for assis
-
tance.
Do not attempt to change the tire or jack the motor home up yourself;
this is why
a jack and a spare tire have not been included with the motor home.
Make sure the road service technician reads and is familiar with the Chassis Guide informa-
tion regarding changing the tires. Make sure the wheel lug nuts have been tightened to the
proper torque as outlined in your Chassis Guide.

The motor home is very heavy. Raising the motor home to replace the
spare tire should only be done with extreme caution by a qualified techni
-
cian. The vehicle could slip, causing personal injury or death.
DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO DO THIS YOURSELF.

Do not use the hydraulic leveling jack system to support the motor home
while under the vehicle or changing tires. The hydraulic leveling system
is designed as a leveling system only. Do not use the hydraulic leveling
jack system as a jack or in conjunction with a jack. It is highly rec-
ommended that, should a tire change be required, it be performed by a
knowledgeable, trained professional.
Attempts to change tires while
supporting the motor home with the hydraulic leveling jack system
could result in damage to the motor home and risk causing serious
injury or death.

When replacing a tire, make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size
and specifications (refer to your Chassis Guide for assistance).
