SAFETY REGULATIONS REGARDING LP.GAS
SYSTEMS AND LP GAS APPLIANCES
The manufacturer of this recreational vehicle is required to furnish the following consumer information as provided by the
National Fire Protection Association and the American National Standards Institute. The information and warnings found
here may also be found in other chapters of this Owner's Manual. Please see chapters titled "LPGAS SYSTEM" and
"APPLfANCES" for other safety and operating informatioh.
WARNING
LP GAS CONTAINERS SHALL NOT BE PLACED OR STORED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. LP GAS CONTAINERS ARE
EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY DEVICES WHICH RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BY DISCHARGING GAS TO THE
ATMOSPHERE.
WARNING
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING. COOKING APPLIANCES NEED
FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION. BEFORE OPERATION:
1. OPEN OVERHEAD VENT OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN, AND
2. OPEN WINDOW.
THIS WARNING LABEL HAS BEEN LOCATED IN THE COOKING AREA TO REMIND YOU TO PROVIDE AN
ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION. UNLIKE HOMES, THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN SUPPLY
IS LIMITED DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE, AND PROPER VENTILATION WHEN USING
THE COOKING APPLIANCE(S) WILL AVOID DANGERS OF ASPHYXIATION. IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
THAT COOKING APPLIANCES NOT BE USED FOR COMFORT HEATING AS THE DANGER OF ASPHYXIATION
IS GREATER WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS USED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
WARNING
PORTABLE FUEL-BURNING EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING WOOD AND CHARCOAL GRILLS AND STOVES,
SHALL NOT BE USED INSIDE THIS RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. THE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT INSIDE THE
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE MAY CAUSE FIRES OR ASPHYXIATION.
WARNING
DO NOT BRING OR STORE LP GAS CONTAINERS, GASOLINE, OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS INSIDE THE
VEHICLE BECAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT.
Awarninglabel has been located near the LP gas container. This label reads: DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORE
THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled
container will contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas.
The following label has been placed In the vehicle near the range:
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials,
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
LP gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in
compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that regulator vent faces downward and the
cover is kept In place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.

MOTOR HOME LOADING
Your motor home chassis is designed to carry a certain
maximumload. Thisloadincludeseverything:theweight
of the empty motor home itself, all occupants and their
belongings, fuel, fresh water, waste water and anything
else that may be in
or attached to the motor home.
The maximum load for which the motor home is de-
signed is called the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RAT-
ING (GVWR). Modifications to your motor home, i.e.,
changing tires
or spring load capacities, will not in any
way increase the GVWR.
Another critical weight factor is the GROSS AXLE
. WEIGHTRATING (GAWR). Thisisthemaximumweight
aspecificaxleisdesignedtocarry. Each axlehasitsown
GAWR. The GAWR's do not necessarily add up to the
GVWR.
The GVWR and the GAWR for your motor home are
shown on thecertification tag postedon the driver'sdoor
or in the driver's compartment.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED LOAD OF
THE MOTOR HOME, OR THE RATED
LOAD
OF ANYAXLE. EXCEEDING THE GVWR OR
GAWR
OF YOUR MOTOR HOME WILL RE-
DUCE YOUR WARRANTY PROTECTION,
CAN CAUSE UNDESIRABLE HANDLING
CHARACTERISTICS AND MAY CREATE A
SAFETY HAZARD.
In addition to knowing the overall weight that can be
safelyloadedin orattachedtothe motorhome, you must
knowhowtodistributetheweightsothatcorrectamounts
of weight are placed on the axles. The allowable carry-
ing capacity ofthe motor home is found byweighing the
motorhome empty, and subtracting thisweightfrom the
GVWR.
Carrying Capacity
During the designand developmentof Fleetwood motor
homes, the numberand size of storage compartments,
. the liquid tank capacities and number of belted seating
positions are maximized for value and convenience. If
7
ON THE ROAD
you fill all liquid tanksto capacity, fill all storagecompart-
ments and cupboards to maximum volume and fill all
available seating positions with passengers, the motor
home will
be overloaded. According to National High-
way Traffic Safety Administration figures, a vehicle
occupant weighs 150pounds. Additionally, each gallon
ofgasolineweighs six pounds (6.0 Ibs.) and each gallon
of water weighs over eight pounds (8.3 Ibs.).
You are responsible for analyzing the conditions under
which the motor home will
be used for each trip. The
number of passengers and placement of cargo will
affect the amount ofwater and cargo that you can carry
(See "Loading Tips"). For convenience, the passen-
gercapacityforcamping use and the passengercapac-
ity for day use are shown on a permanent label in the
driver's area or adjacent to the main entry door. The
passenger capacity for camping provides reasonable
cargo capacity for trips taking more than one day. The
passenger capacity for day use provides less cargo
capacity for trips or activities not involving' overnight
stays. For example, it may be necessary to reduce the
amount of water carried and unload some cargo items
normallycarriedforcamping in orderto providecarrying
capacity for the additional day use passengers.
The numberof seat belt locations may be greater than
the numberofpassengerspermitted bythe label. These
extra locations, if provided, are to permit a choice of
seatswhile travelling.
it is notsafeto exceed the labeled
passenger capacity unless the axle loadings and total
weight
are checked against their ratings on a public
scale. (See
"Determining And Distributing Your
Load").
Thoughtful consideration of the weight placed in the
motor home can yield important benefits:
Greater choice of seating and storage
Safe operation, including improved handling
characteristics and ride comfort
Better fuel mileage and reduced tire wear
NOTE:Carryingcapacities of your motor home
are specified on a label affixed to the inside of

8
a wardrobe door. The label includes allfactory
installed options. If other equipment such as
leveling jacks; awnings, roof pods, etc., are
instal/ed after
the motor home leaves the fac-
tory, the weight of these items must be sub-
tracted from the total
of the passenger and
cargo carrying capacities. If you tow a trailer,
the tongue weight of the trailer must be sub-
tracted from the total of the passenger and
cargo carrying capacities.
Loading Tips
Do not load heavy items in upper cabinets.
Secure and brace items so they won't move
during travel, thereby shifting the load.
Do not load heavy items near either end of the
motor home or on the rear bumper.
Adjust cargo storage to keep the side to side
wheel loads
as equal a possible.
Carry only as much water as needed for travel
use
or to balance the load.
Whenever possible, empty the holding tanks
before traveling.
WARNING
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE BYAD-
DITION OF RACKS NOTSPECIFIED BYTHE
MANUFACTURER TO CARRYADDITIONAL
EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES WILL REDUCE
YOUR WARRANTY COVERAGE AND MAY
CAUSE PERSONALINJURYORPROPERTY
DAMAGE
Make a loading diagram of your properly loaded motor
home.
It will help you locate where specific items are
stored, and will help speed the loading process. Store
emergency items
in a readily accessible location. In-
clude a fire extinguisher, tools, first aid kit, rain gear,
flashlight, highway warning devices, and an electric
cord with light.
WARNING
DO NOT STORE OR CARRY LP GAS CON-
TAINERS, GASOLINE,
.OR OTHER FLAM-
MABLE LIQUIDS INSIDE YOUR MOTOR
HOME. THE CONTAINERS MAY LEAK.
Determining And Distributing
Your
Motor Home Load
If the loaded weight of your motor home exceeds the
GVWR,you will haveto remove itemstobringtheweight
down to
or below the GVWR. If the loaded axle weight
on any axle exceeds the GAWR, you will have to
redistribute cargo to bring the weight down to or below
the GAWR.
Weighing Your Loaded Motor Home
Refer to your local directory to locate. a public weigh
station. The following weighing procedure will help you
determine whether your loaded motor home (complete
with cargo, fluids, passengers, and driver) is within
GAWR and GVWR limits. When you arrive at a weigh
station, the attendant will guide you through the correct
positioning of the motor home on the scales.
1. Centerthe front wheelson thescale platformandtake
a reading. This is the front GrossAxle Weight (Reading
1 ).
2. Center the entire vehicle (all axles) on the scale and
take a reading. This is the Gross Vehicle Weight (Read-
ing 2).
3. Center the rear wheels on the platform and take a
reading. This reading is the rear Gross Axle Weight
(Reading 3).

4. Compare Reading 2 with the GVWR of yourvehicle.
If the reading exceeds the GVWR rating, you will have
to reduce the total vehicle load.
5. If Reading 2 is less than the GVWR of your vehicle,
check Readings 1 and 3 to verify that each is less than
its respective GAWR. If either exceeds the GAWR,
redistribute the load and reweigh.
6. For a tag axle, center both rear axles on the scale
platform and take a reading. Compare with the sum of
both the rear(tag) and the intermediate (drive) GAWRs.
Periodically reweigh your motor home. Loading and
weight patterns will change according to use.
TIRES
Your motor home is equipped with truck tires. Under
normal circumstances and with proper maintenance,
you should receive thousands of miles of trouble-free
service.
Tire
Inflation
For safety and maximum tire life, proper inflation pres-
sure must be maintained. Properly inflated tires also
contribute to overall motor home stability and safety.
Refer to the tire section
in your chassis operator's
manual for information
on maintenance, inflation pres-
sure, and tire care.
WARNING
FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM TIRE LIFE,
CHECKTIRE PRESSURES(INCLUDINGTHE
SPARE) OFTEN. PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION
TO INSIDE REAR DUALS. ALWAYS CHECK
PRESSURE WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AND
DO NOT BLEED AIR OUT OF WARM TIRES.
FOLLOW THE TIRE PRESSURE INSTRUC-
TIONS IN THE CHASSIS
OPERATOR'S
MANUAL.
NOTE: Check the wheel covers periodically.
They could work
loose, during driving.
9
Tire Replacement
Replacement tires must be the same size, and have at
least the same weight carrying capacity
as the original
equipment. All tires ofthe same size and rating may not
have the same weight carrying capacity. Consult your
tiredealer. Theoriginal equipmenttiressupplied
on your
motorhome have weight carrying capacities to support
gross axle weight ratings (GAWR)
as stated on the
Federal Certification
Tag located on the sidewall near
the driver's seat.
If You Get a Flat Tire
In case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy brake appli-
cation. Gradually decrease speed. Hold steering wheel
firmly and move slowlyto asafe, off-road place. Parkon
a firm level spot, turn off the ignition, and turn
on the
hazard flasher system.
Spare Tire Carrier
On some models, the spare tire is located in an exterior
storage compartment. On other models, the spare tire
carrier is located under the rear of the motor home
between the frame rails.
WARNING
TRUCK WHEELS AND TIRES ARE EX-
TREMELY HEAVY AND MAY WEIGH 100
POUNDS OR MORE. DO NOTATTEMPT TO
REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE UNLESS YOU
ARECAPABLE OFHANDLINGTHEWEIGHT.
NOTE:, Your motor home is not equipped with a

TOWING A VEHICLE
If you expect to pull a vehicle with your motor home,
please use these guidelines when choosing a hitch and
trailer:

Hitch classification: Class II. Do not use a load equaliz-
ing hitch. Itcould cause structural damage to the frame
members.

Limit the tongue weight of trailer or towing device to a
maximum of 250 pounds. Heavier tongue weights can
damage your motor home rear frame and body, cause
unstable driving and handling characteristics, and will
restrict your rights under the Ownercare warranty.
Do nottow a vehicle weighing more than 3500 pounds,
or which would result in exceeding the GCWR recom-
mended by the chassis manufacturer. Heaviervehicles
can cause braking problems, damage the hitch, the
motor home structure or drive train, cause unstable
driving or handling characteristics, and/or restrict your
rights underwarranty. Changing the trailer hitch will not
increase the tow capacity ofthe motorhome even if the
chassis
is rated at a higher level.
The Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is listed
on the wardrobe door tag. The GCWR is the maximum
allowable weight of both the loaded motor home and
towed vehicle. Exceeding the GCWR will cause dam-
age to yourmotorhome drive train or chassis, unstable
driving and handling characteristics, and will reduce
your warranty protection.
SEATS AND SEAT BELTS
Driver/Passenger Seats
The driver's and passenger's seats offer different posi-
tion/comfort adjustments:
WARNING
DO NOT ADJUST THE SEAT POSITION
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. YOU
MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
Referto the booklets in your owner's information pack-
age for operating instructions.
Seat Belts
Seat belts are an important safety feature of your
vehicle. Foryourprotection, always use yourseatbelts.
The driver's seat and other seats designed to carry
passengerswhile movinghave been equippedwith seat
belts.
WARNING
ALL RIDERS SHOULD USE SEAT BELTS
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. NEI-

BEDS SHOULD BE OCCUPIED WHILE THE
VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
Adjust seat belts as follows:
To fasten belt, be sure it is not twisted, then push the
tongue end ofone belt into the buckle ofthe mating belt.
Be sure it latches. For greatest safety, adjust the belt
snugly as low on the abdomen as comfort will allow.
To release the belt, depress the button in the center of
the buckle and slide the tongue out ofthe buckle. Never
use a belt for more than one person at a time.
Child.
Restraint
All vehicle occupants, and especially children, should
be restrained whenever riding In vehicles. Holding a
child in your arms is not a substitute for seat belts or a
child restraint system. Child restraint systems are de-
signed to be secured in the vehicle seats by lap belts.
Children could be endangered in a crash if their child
restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.
When using any child restraint system, be sure to read
and follow all instructions
on installation and use that
came with the system.

and the child restraint manufacturer for help.

_______________________ 11
DRIVING, PARKING AND MIRRORS
Driving your motor home will be different from driving
your family car
or truck. Your motor home is large, and
you need to be alert to your vehicle's position in traffic.
Be cautious when maneuvering to allow for the length
a:nd width of the vehicle. Always allow extra room to
corner and to change lanes. Your vehicle's rear view
mirrors will help you keep aware of your vehicle's
position and the position of other vehicles and/or ob-
structions near your motor home. You must monitor
them constantly while you are driving. Become familiar
with the operation of the side mirrors and learn to use
themtoview objectsandthe road besideand behindthe
motor home.
The rear view mirrors are controlled from a panel lo-
cated on the driver'sdoorarmrest. To adjustthe mirrors,
select either LEFT
or RIGHT mirror and press the
appropriatearrow. Activate the mirrorheaters by press-
ing the HEATER position.
Rememberthat your motor home is heavierthan a car,
making it less maneuverable and harder to stop. Also,
because ofits greaterside surface area, it is more easily
affected by cross winds. Allow extra distances forpass-
ing and stopping, and drive at a moderate speed,
particularly in traffic and in gusty wind conditions.
Driving on winding or mountain roads is not difficult
if
done with reasonable care. Observe proper vehicle
speedswhen ascending ordescending hills and always
operate in the pr9pertransmission range. Downshift
on
hillsto avoid overheating orundue engine loads. Down-
shift when descending grades. Engine braking power
will help control vehicle speed, and relieve some of the
strain on the brakes.
Mountain driving or desert temperatures can put ex-
treme demands on drive train components -especially
the transmission. Under extreme heat conditions you
may need to turn off the vehicle air conditioner to
improve engine and transmission cooling.
Be aware ofthe extra heightofyour motor home. Check
for low hanging tree branches or other obstructions
wheneveryou drive or park. Avoid lowoverhangs when
pulling in for service. Always check overhead clear-
ances of overpasses and bridges. This may be particu-
larly important ifyou drive with the overheadvents open
or if the motor home is equipped with a roof air condi-
tioner, roofrack, CBorTV/radioantenna. Beforeleaving
on a trip, checkyour route. Some tunnels prohibit motor
. homes with
LP gas systems.
When parking parallel to a curb, be sure to allow 'for
poles
or obstructionsasthe frontand rearportionsofthe
motor 'home swing wider than an automobile. When
parking on an incline, turn the front wheels into the curb
in the direction
of the roll to aidthe parking brake. When
parking, alwaysshiftthe transmission to PARK("P") and
set the parking brake, if applicable.
NOTE:Although your motorhome is equippedwith
power steering, the front wheels may be difficult to
turn when at a dead stop. When maneuvering in
some close situations, give yourselfsome room to
move eitherforward
or backward. The vehicle has
to be in motion forthe front wheels to be turnedwith
ease.
WARNING
DO NOT PARKOR IDLETHE MOTOR HOME
OVER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS SUCH
AS TALL GRASS OR DRIED LEAVES. THIS
IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF THE EX-
HAUST SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN PROP-
ERLY MAINTAINED. COMBUSTIBLE MATE-
RIALS MAY CATCH FIRE FROM THE HOT
EXHAUSTGASES,
SOOTORSPARKSTHAT
COULD ESCAPE THROUGH CORROSION
HOLES OR CRACKS.
If operating, parking or idling your vehicle off-road is
unavoidable, as is often the case
in recreational use:
Be aware that combustible materials could catch fire
from the vehicle's hot exhaust system.
Avoid driving your vehicle through
or over combustible
materials such as leaves, grass, vegetation or stubble
high enough to touch, catch orcollect on its hot exhaust
system.
Parking or idling should be done only in an area where
there are no combustible'materials under the vehicle.
REAR VIEW VIDEO MONITOR
Yourmotorhome maybe equipped with an optional rear
viewvideo monitor. The camerais located atthe top rear
ofthe motorhome.The rear view picture is displayed on
a screen
on the motor home instrument panel. The
monitor screen may be overlaid with a distance scale
reference which gives approximate distance of objects
to the rear of the motor home.
To operatethe video monitor, the ignition switch mustbe
on and the gear shift in reverse.
To override normal
operation, the ignition switch must be on and power on
at the monitor.

12 ____________________ __
Using the video monitorwill take practice. Always allow
more space for maneuvering until you are comfortable
with the system. Checkthe side-mounted mirrors often
while driving and especially during lane changes and
when backing up.
CAUTION
The rear view video monitor system pro-
vides a general view of the road and objects
to the rear of the motor home. Your percep-
tion of this view and the relationships of
objects to the motor home and each other
will be different from that seen in arear view
mirror. Light conditions and the adjustment
of the screen controls will also affect your
perception. Always use the side-mounted
rear view mirrors with the video monitor
system.
The camera lensis exposed to road dirtand will getdirty
often. Clean the camera lensand monitorscreen with a
quality glass cleaner and non-abrasive cloth or towel.
FUEL AND FUEL SYSTEMS
See the Chassis Operator's Manual in the Owner's
Information Package for fuel recommendations. The
optional generator is designed to run on the same fuel
asthechassis. Consultthe generatoroperating instruc-
tionsforspecial cautions aboutmaintenancewith differ-
ent types of fuels.
Fuel Fill
Thefuel fillercap is locatedtowardthe rearofthe coach.
Modernfuel systemsmaybuild
up vaporpressurewithin
the tank as the gasoline warms during use or hot
weather. Under certain conditions, sudden release of
this pressure when removing the gasoline cap can
cause gasoline to spray from the fill opening, creating a
fire hazard.
WARNING
WHEN REMOVING THE GASOLINE CAP,
ROTATE SLOWLY ONLY FAR ENOUGH TO
ALLOW PRESSURE TO RELEASE. AFTER
"HISSING" SOUNDSTOPS,COMPLETETHE
REMOVAL OF THE CAP.
To protectthe gasoline systemfrom excessivepressure
or vacuum, orfrom sudden release of pressure, replace
lost caps with caps of the same design which are
available from your Fleetwood motor home dealer.
Clean upfuel spills immediately. Raw fuel spilled on the
motor home could damage the exterior finish, and is a
serious fire hazard.
Fuel Types And Vapor Lock
Today's automotive fuel and emissions systems are
sophisticated and highly engineered to meet Federal
and State emissions standards. They are also some-
times sensitive to fuel types and blends, particularly
fuels blended for certain altitudes and climates. Fuel
suppliers provide customers with the correct fuel for
their location and seasonal conditions. Sometimes,
though, fuel blended for winter is supplied during sum-
mer months.
"Vaporlock"occurswhen gasolinevaporizes, and vapor
pockets block the flow of liquid fuel to the engine. If you
experience engine stall or stutter, you may be experi-
encing vapor lock.
If your engine and fuel system are properly tuned and
maintained, you should not experience this problem. If
vapor lockoccurs, the fuel itselfcould be the cause. Ifat
all possible, checkwith theservicestation operatorasto
the fuel blend before filling your fuel tank. If you pur-
chase yourfuel from nationally recognized fuel dealers,
yourchances of vapor lock can be reduced. If you store
your motor home during the winter months, be aware
that when you take the vehicle out of storage
in the
spring orsummer, winterfuel maycause vaporlock until
it is consumed.
GENERAL CHASSIS TOPICS
Variable Speed Engine Fan
When the engine is under load or requires maximum
cooling, the engine fan adjusts and turnsfaster. The fan
may become very noisy at high speed and when maxi-
mum cooling is required. High speed fan noise can
sometimesbe misinterpreted astransmission slippage.
This is not the case. High engine speed and tempera-
ture conditions, such as pulling away from a stop after
long freeway driving, can cause loud fan noise until the
engine cools down. This fan noise indicates thatthe fan
is
dOing what it is supposed to do. This noise is not a
defect
in the fan or the transmission.
Exhaust System Heat
Your motorhome engine has been designedto conform
to Federal and State emission requirements.
To meet
these requirements, engine operatingtemperaturesare
high. As a result,
the. engine and exhaust systems
radiate a great deal of heat.
Special heat shields are built into your motor home to
protect wiring and other components from possible heat
damage caused by the exhaust system. Do not remove
these shields, modify the exhaust system, or add addi-
tional equipment,
such as wiring, plumbing, or othercom-
ponents, which will be affected by exhaust system heat.

CARBON MONOXIDE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless
gas. It is a by-product of combustion in engines. The
engines in your motor home and generator system
produce it constantly while they are running. CARBON
MONOXIDE IS DEADLY. Please read and understand
the following precautions to protect yourself and others
from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
EXHAUST GASES ARE DEADLY. DO NOT
BLOCK THE TAILPIPES OR SITUATE THE
VEHICLE IN APLACEWHERETHEEXHAUST
GASES HAVE ANY POSSIBILITY OF ACCU-
MULATING EITHER OUTSIDE, UNDER-
NEATH,OR INSIDEYOUR VEHICLE OR ANY
NEARBY VEHICLES. OUTSIDE AIR MOVE-
MENTS CAN CARRY EXHAUST GASES IN·
SIDE THE VEHICLE THROUGH WINDOWS
OROTHER OPENINGSREMOTE FROM THE
EXHAUST OUTLET. OPERATE THE
ENGINE(S)ONLYWHEN SAFEDISPERSION
OF EXHAUST GASES CAN BE ASSURED,
AND MONITOR OUTSIDE CONDITIONS TO
BE SURE THAT EXHAUST CONTINUES TO
BE DISPERSED SAFELY.
Beware of exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) poisoning
symptoms:
Dizziness
Vomiting
Nausea
Muscular Twitching
Intense Headache
Throbbing in Temples
Weakness and Sleepiness
Inability to Think Coherently
If you or others experience any ofthese symptoms, get
out into the fresh air immediately. If symptom persist,
seek medical attention. Shut down the unit and do not
operate until it has been inspected and repaired.
WARNING
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
OPERATE ANY ENGINE WHILE SLEEPING.
You would not be able to monitor outside conditions to
assure that engine exhaust does not enter the interior,
and you would not
be alert to exhaust odors or symp-
toms of carbon monoxide pOisoning.
Do not operate an engine with a damaged exhaust
system. Check the system frequently for damage.
Do
13
not under any circ:umstances modify the exhaust
system(s) in any way.
Carbon Monoxide Deiector
Your motor home is equipped with a carbon monoxide
(CO) detector. Usually located in the main sleeping
area, it is designed to alert you to the presence of CO
gas. Test the CO detector after the motor home has
been
in storage, before each trip, and at least once a
week during use. Replace the sensor and battery when
necessary.
Do not replace the batterywithout replacing
the sensor. Sensors may
be obtained through your
Fleetwood dealer. Please refer to the operating instruc-
tions included in your Owner's Information Package.
EMERGENCY TOWING
The only safe and approved towing methods are either
an under reach wheel lift device, as installed on a
minimum 3-ton tow truck chassis, or a flat bed trailer.
Most tow truck operators willing and able to tow motor
homes will be familiar with these devices. Be prepared
to give the tow truck operator at least the following
information when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear.
Towing from the rear will cause serious
overloading of the front tires and suspen-
sion, possibly resulting in tire or front sus-
pension failure. The rear frame extensions
are not designed to withstand the load im-
posed by lifting from the rear.
The vehicle must
be towed from the front, either on the
rear wheels (if operational) or
on a heavy duty dOily, or
transported
on a flat bed trailer. Consult your chassis
operator's manual.
To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the
disabled vehicle.
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
3. Turn off LP gas appliances and the LP gas tank
valve.
4. Do not allow any person to ride in the towed
vehicle.
