The
Road
WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly.
Do
not block the tailpipes,
or exhaust ports, or situate
the
vehicle
in
a place
where the exhaust gases have any possibility
of
accu-
mulating either outside, underneath, or inside your
vehicle or any nearby vehicles. Outside air move-
ments can carry exhaust gases inside the
vehicle
through windows or other openings remote from the
exhaust
outlet. Operate the engine(s), carbon mon-
oxide-producing systems or components
only when
safe dispersion of exhaust gases can
be
assured.
Monitor outside conditions to
be
sure that exhaust
continues to
be
dispersed safely.
If
you or others experience any
of
these symp-
toms, get out into fresh air immediately.
If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Shut
down the unit and do not operate it until it has
been inspected and repaired.
Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm
Your motor home is equipped with a carbon
monoxide
(CO) detector/alarm.
If
the detector/alarm sounds, it is an indication
that unacceptable levels
of
carbon monoxide gas
are present. This may occur in traffic concentra-
tions or in campgrounds where other vehicles as
well as your motor home are contributing to the
carbon monoxide level in the surrounding air.
Sounding
of
the detector/alarm does not indicate
a faulty detector/alarm.
The
detector/alarm is
doing its
job
of
warning you
of
potentially high
concentrations
of
carbon monoxide.
Test the
CO detector/alarm after the motor home
has been in storage, before each trip, and at least
once a week during use. Please refer to the
materials included in your
OWller's Il1formatioll
Package. Never remove the CO detector/alarm
batteries while you are using your
RY.
EMERGENCY TOWING
The preferred emergency towing methods are
either an under reach wheel lift device or a flat bed
trailer. Most tow truck operators willing
to
tow
motor homes will be familiar with these devices.
05-18
Be prepared
to
give the tow truck operator at least
the following information when you call:
Length
and
height
of
motor home
Chassis mallufacturer
Gross vehicle weight mtillg
CAUTION
Do
not tow the motor home from the
rear.
Towing from
the rear will cause serious overloading of the front
tires
and
suspension, possibly resulting in tire or front
suspension failure. The rear frame extensions are not
designed to withstand the
load imposed by lifting from
the
rear.
WARNING
DO
NOT
crawl under or place any part of your body
under a vehicle that is being
lifted. Stand clear
of
all
towing equipment
and
the
vehicle being lifted.
The
vehicle must be towed from the front, either
on the rear wheels (if operational)
or
on a heavy
duty dolly. Consult your
Chassis Opemtor's/
Owner's
Guide/Manual for any available
instructions. Contact the chassis assistance cen-
ter prior to calling a tow company to receive tow
instructions and possible assistance with coordi-
nating the tow.
CAUTION
Remove the axle shafts or disconnect the drive line
before towing the motor home.
To
prepare your motor home for towing:
1.
The rear axle shafts or the drive line
MUST
be removed before towing. See the Chassis
Opemtor's/Owner's
Guide/Manual.
2.
Secure any loose or protruding parts
of
the
disabled vehicle,
if
any.
3.
Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
4. Turn off
LP
gas appliances and the
LP
gas
tank valve.
S.
Do
not allow any person to ride in the
towed vehicle.
