8 EMERGENCIES WHILE DRIVING
Your Triple E Motorhome is designed with features
that allow the driver/occupants to resolve emergency
or failures when travelling. Review this section to be
familiar with the recommended procedure to resolve
these conditions or situations. Review this section
with all new drivers and before each trip.
8.1 HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Each motorhome is designed with a hazard warn-
ing light system that is similar to the system on an
automobile. Both the front and rear turn signals
fl ash in unison when the system is turned on.
Although the control switch is normally located on
the steering column, refer to the chassis manual for
details.
It is recommended that the warning lights be used
whenever the vehicle is stopped on the side of the
roadway. The intermittent fl ashing lights will alert
other motorists to a potential hazard and to take extra
care. The system is designed to continue to fl ash
when the switch is on even though the ignition key
is removed and you have left the vehicle.
8.2 FLAT TIRE
When you have a fl at tire while driving, slow the
vehicle gradually to prevent losing control and pull
off to the side of the road. Stop on a level fi rm sur-
face and engage parking brake. Turn on hazard
warning lights to alert other drivers to use extra
caution when driving in the vicinity.
It is recommended that a professional qualifi ed
road service be used whenever possible. If this is
not possible, follow the instructions in the chassis
manual.
Refer to chassis manual for instructions on where
to place jack under the frame. Review and follow
all safety precuations listed.
Be sure the lug nuts are tightened to their specifi ed
torque. See the chassis Owner's Manual for
torque specifi cations. Always use an accurate
torque wrench when mounting the wheel.
Check the torque and re-tighten as per chassis
manufacturers requirements..
Safety Reminders:
1. Park the motorhome on a level surface.
2. Turn off the engine and set the parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning fl asher.
4. Block both front and back of the tire on the op-
posite side of the vehicle from the fl at tire.
5. If the ground is soft, use a support board under
the jack to keep the jack from sinking.
6. Make sure to use only the jacking points de-
scribed in your chassis owner's manual.
