Radio Power Switch
The radio power switch lets you connect the
dash radio to the coach batteries with the ignition
switch turned off for listening while parked. This
prevents accidental draining of the chassis (start-
ing) battery with prolonged use of the radio.
ENGINE ACCESS
Refer to your chassis owner’s manual.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Refer to your chassis owner’s manual for
information and precautions on filling, servicing
and checking the fluid level.
TIRES
Improper tire pressure can result in tire
overloading and abnormal wear and also affects
handling, ride characteristics and fuel economy.
See your Vehicle Certification Label for tire
information.
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of
this vehicle was factory aligned using highly
accurate equipment prior to delivery to the
dealership. However, alignment should be
checked and adjusted, after you have fully loaded
the motor home according to your personal
needs. Thereafter, the alignment should be
periodically inspected to help prevent uneven tire
wear.
Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may
indicate worn or misaligned suspension or
steering, unbalanced tire or other tire/suspension
problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/
suspension parts or by incidents which happen
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole or
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may
also cause the vehicle to “pull” to the right or left.
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle’s
suspension and steering components periodically
for misalignment or wear.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
can lead to vibrations and uneven tread wear such
as cupping and flat spots. Tires may need to be
balanced if uneven wear is detected or if ride
comfort decreases noticeably.
See your chassis owner’s manual for further
information.
