Descending A Hill
When going down a long grade, you may need
to manually shift to a lower gear rather than
keeping your foot on the brake pedal. A lower
gear will allow the engine to provide a degree of
braking action. Holding your foot on the brake
pedal for an extended period may cause brakes to
overheat, which could cause you to lose control
of the vehicle. See your chassis owner’s manual
for specific information.
TOOL & LADDER STORAGE
Various supplied tools are stored in clips on
the walls of one or two of the exterior storage
compartments. Actual locations depend on the
storage compartment configuration of your
model.
Roof Ladder Extension
-All Models except 325F
To use the roof ladder extension:
•
Pivot the ladder support pad outward into
place as indicated in the photo and insert both
side pins.
•
Hold the ladder extension horizontally with
the support pad pointing downward and hook
the open ends of the C-shaped rung retainers
onto the bottom rung of the roof ladder as
shown in the photo.
CAUTION
Observe the engine temperature gauge
more frequently than normal. If
overheating occurs, pull off to the side of
the road and allow the engine to
thoroughly cool before refilling the
radiator and restarting the engine.
