See the manufacturer’s user guide provided in
your InfoCase for complete operating
instructions.
CB RADIO POWER WIRING
Your coach is pre-wired for CB radio power
connection. The wires are located beneath the
dash to the left of the steering wheel.
Look for a pair of wires - yellow (+) and white
(-) with connectors and flag labels suspended
from the wiring harness.
PARKING BRAKE
Freightliner
®
Chassis
Use the parking brake knob to apply the park
brake whenever the vehicle is parked.
Never try to drive the vehicle with the parking
brake applied. This can cause excessive wear on
the brakes and may damage the transmission.
NOTE: It is normal to hear an occasional burst
of air pressure from the rear of the
vehicle. This is an automatic moisture
purging feature of the air brake system.
See the Brakes section of your chassis
manual for instructions on periodic
draining of brake air tank.
EXHAUST RESTRICTION
BRAKING SYSTEM
Freightliner
®
Chassis
The Exhaust Brake generates additional
“braking” power by controlled restriction of the
engine’s exhaust gas flow.
How It Works
When the Exhaust Brake is activated, a valve
closes off the engine’s exhaust causing the
exhaust back pressure to increase, which causes
the vehicle to slow down.
The increased back pressure would normally
stop the engine except the forward momentum of
the vehicle keeps the drivetrain and the engine
turning.
