RECOVERY TOWING
(See chassis operating guide for proper recovery towing procedures.)
Adventurer Manufacturing Ltd. does not assume responsibility for damage incurred while towing this vehicle.
WARNING
Stay out from beneath the motor home while the towing assembly suspends it unless the vehicle is
adequately supported by safety stands. Do not allow passengers to occupy a towed vehicle.
JUMP STARTING
WARNING
Automotive batteries produce caustic acid, explosive gases, and electrical current that may cause
burns. It is important that the instructions below are followed exactly, or personal injury (particularly
to eyes) or property 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 electrical sparks.
Wear eye protection or shield your eyes while working near battery, in case an explosion does
occur. NEVER lean over a battery.
Do not allow battery fluid to contact 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.
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 distilled water if fluid
is low. If electrolyte is not visible or appears to be frozen – do not
Attempt jump-starting!
A battery
may rupture 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 battery.
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 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 SAFETY PRECAUTION IS TO MAKE THE FINAL GROUND
CONNECTION ON THE ENGINE AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE BATTERY. THIS HELPS TO REDUCE
THE CHANCE OF EXPLOSION DUE TO SPARKS.
