SECTION 3
IN CASE OF DRIVING EMERGENCY
HAZARD WARNING
FLASHER
The hazard warning flasher provides addition-
al safety when the vehicle must be stopped on the
side of the roadway and presents a possible haz-
ard to other motorists. When the flasher is on, it
serves as a warning to the other drivers to ap-
proach and overtake your vehicle with caution.
The front and rear turn signals will flash inter-
mittently when the flashers are in operation.
When it is necessary to leave the vehicle, the
flasher system will continue to operate with the
ignition key removed.
See your Ford or Workhorse chassis opera-
tor’s guide for information on operating the haz-
ard warning flashers.
IF YOU GET A FLAT TIRE
In case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy
brake application. Tire manufaturers recommend
accelerating briefly to regain steering stability,
then gradually decreasing speed. Avoid quick
steering movements. Hold the steering wheel
firmly and move slowly to a safe, off-road place.
Park on a level spot, turn off the ignition and turn
on the hazard warning flasher system.
Because of the size and weight of this vehicle
and its tires, and the possible complications in-
volved in tire changing, we strongly advise ob-
taining professional road service to change a flat
tire whenever possible. However, if an emergen-
cy requires you to change the tire yourself, please
exercise extreme caution and read all tire chang-
ing information, both in this manual and in the
chassis manufacturer’s operating guide.
SPARE TIRE STORAGE
Ford or Workhorse Chassis
The spare tire is mounted on a swing-down
carrier assembly beneath the rear of the vehicle.
Because of the size of this vehicle and the
possible complications involved in tire chang-
ing, we recommend that you call a tire road ser-
vice center if you experience a tire related road
emergency. A tire road service unit can be
quickly dispatched to your location to service
your tire on the spot. A qualified tire road ser-
vice center has the necessary equipment and
expertise to handle road tire emergencies quickly
and safely.
However, if an emergency requires you to
change the tire yourself, please exercise extreme
caution and read all tire changing information,
both in this manual and in the chassis manufac-
turer’s operating guide.
Operating the hazard warning flasher
system while moving on the highway
is illegal.
WARNING
When attempting to remove a spare
tire carrier assembly from its installed
position, do not place any part of your
body underneath the carrier. The
assembly weighs approximately 200
lbs. and, should it fail unexpectedly,
bodily injury may result.
