SECTION 3
IN CASE OF DRIVING EMERGENCY
We recommend that you ask for an underlift
(wheel lift or frame lift) type towing assembly for
safe towing.
Winnebago Industries does not assume re-
sponsibility for damage incurred while towing
this vehicle.
NOTE: Consult the chassis operating guide for
any additional towing instructions or
precautions provided by the chassis
manufacturer.
NOTE: Know and obey all state and local towing
regulations. Tow at reduced speed .
JUMP STARTING
J
CONNECTING JUMPER CABLES
1. Make sure that the other vehicle has a 12-
volt battery and negative ground compatible
with your vehicle’s electrical system.
2. Position the vehicle with the good battery so
that the jumper cables will reach, but
do not
allow the vehicles to touch.
3. Turn off all electrical accessories, motors,
and lights except those needed for safety or
to light up the work area. Place automatic
transmission in P (Park). Be sure parking
brakes are engaged in both vehicles.
4. If the weak battery has filler caps, make sure
the electrolyte is at proper level. Add dis-
tilled water if fluid is low. If electrolyte is not
visible or appears to be frozen -
do not
attempt jump starting!
A battery may rup-
ture or explode if the electrolyte is frozen or
not filled to the proper level.
5. Connect one end of the positive “+” (red)
jumper cable to the positive “+” terminal of
the weak battery. Connect the other end to
the positive “+” terminal of the charged bat-
tery.
6. Connect one end of the negative “-” (black)
jumper cable to the negative “-” terminal of
the charged battery.
7. Finally, connect the remaining end of the
negative “-” (black) cable to a solid, metal
grounded location on the engine or chassis of
the vehicle with the weak battery, at a point
at least 18 inches from the battery. Do not
connect to any moving parts. THE MAIN
Do not lift on bumper. Damage will
result to front end body parts.
Stay out from beneath the motor
home while it is suspended by the
towing assembly unless the vehicle is
adequately supported by safety
stands. Do not allow passengers to
occupy a towed vehicle.
Automotive batteries produce caustic
acid, explosive gases, and electrical
current which may cause burns. It is
important that the instructions below
are followed
exactly , or personal
injury (particularly to eyes) or prop-
erty damage may result due to battery
explosion, battery acid, or electrical
(short circuit) burns.
•
NEVER smoke near the battery or
expose it to open flame or electri-
cal sparks.
• Wear eye protection or shield
your eyes while working near bat-
tery, in case an explosion does
occur. NEVER lean over a bat-
tery.
CAUTION
WARNING
WARNING
• Do not allow battery fluid to con-
tact eyes, skin, clothing, or
painted surfaces. Immediately
flush any contacted area with
water. If eyes are affected, seek
medical help after flushing.
• Remove all metal jewelry to
lessen the risk of a short circuit
occurring.
