It may be possible to rock the motorhome out if you are stuck in snow,
mud or deep sand. Shift the selector to D (Drive) and apply steady light
throttle. Never full throttle as you may spin the wheels and bury yourself
deeper. When the motorhome has moved forward as far it will go, apply and
hold the service brakes. Allow the engine to return to idle before selecting the
R (Reverse). Release the brake and apply light throttle until the motorhome
has rocked as far it will go. Again, apply the service brake and allow the
engine to return to idle. Repeat this process if the motorhome has moved a
greater distance. If the process does not free the motorhome call for towing
assistance.
NOTE: Sudden movements or lurching the motorhome with an
open throttle can result in damage to the transmission. Avoid this
condition by making shifts only when the throttle is closed and
engine is at normal idle.
When using jumper cables to start the engine, make sure the cables are
connected in parallel. That is positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to
negative (-). Always connect your positive (+) before the negative (-) and
disconnect the negative (-) before the positive (+) to prevent arcing. When
using an external electrical source to start the engine shut the disconnect
switch to OFF position.
Batteries can emit explosive gases. Always ventilate the battery compart-
ment prior to any work or service to the batteries. Extinguish all smoking
material and keep all open flame and spark producing devices away from
battery area.
In the event of a roadside emergency, contact the nearest Cummins Center
or phone 1-800-DIESELS for Cummins Customer Assistance Center.
If a towing company is called for service it is recommended that they
use a lowboy/landall type of trailer and if a tow truck is used it needs to
have a stinger (an arm that goes under motorhome and hooks to front
cross member). Inform the tow company of the weight and length of
the motorhome, number of passengers and milepost location.
The towing company may need to locate the air nipple to release
the air brakes. The air nipple is located on the roadside next to the
generator and should only be used by towing personnel. Generally, if
the motorhome ever needs to be towed, use the following instructions:
• Secure any loose or protruding parts if the motorhome is dam-
aged.
• Inspect points of attachment on a disabled motorhome. If
