SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
•
Lift or slide tire from carrier.
•
Do not over-tighten wing nut when returning
carrier to storage position.
Recovery Towing
When calling a professional towing service,
we recommend that you advise them of your
coach length and approximate front axle weight
listed on your Vehicle Certification Label. This
will allow the towing operator to determine the
proper towing equipment to use.
We recommend that you ask for an underlift
(wheel lift or frame lift) type towing assembly for
safe towing.

NOTE: Consult the chassis manual for any
additional towing instructions or

WHEEL MOUNTING NUTS
(LUG NUTS)
The mounting bolts and nuts for the standard
steel wheels are designed specifically for the type
of wheel. See the following information and
photos.
Steel Wheels
•
The lug nut for steel wheels is a non-plated,
hat-shaped, flange nut. The accompanying
dome-shaped, split cone washer should be
positioned ‘dome first’ onto the wheel stud
before the nut as shown.
JUMP STARTING
If your coach will not start from the chassis
battery, try using the battery boost switch to
divert power from the house batteries to the
starter. (See either “Battery Boost Switch” or
“Aux Start Switch”).
If you wish to try jump starting the engine
using another vehicle or booster system, see your
chassis manual for connecting jumper cables to
the automotive electrical system.
NOTICE
Do not lift on bumper. Damage will result
to front end body parts.
WARNING
Stay out from beneath the motor home
while it is suspended by the towing
assembly. Do not allow passengers to
occupy a towed vehicle. Death or serious
injury can result.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to push start this vehicle.
Damage to the transmission or other
parts of the vehicle will occur.
