on
the scale and obtain a reading. (This second
value
is
Gross Vehicle Weight.)
3. Drive forward until only
the
rear axle
is

CHANGING A TIRE
For tire changing instructions,
see
Chassis
Operator's
Manual. Your
motor
home
is
equipped
with
premium-
grade
truck-type tires. Under normal circumstances
and
with proper tire maintenance, you should receive thous-
ands
of
miles
of
trouble-free service. Before attempting
any repairs in the event you do have a
flat
tire,
it
should
be
noted
that
your
fully-loaded
motor
home
is
very
heavy.
As
a result,
each
wheel lug
nut
is'torqued ·to a
factory recommended setting
of
300
to
350
foot
pounds, making the lug nuts extremely
difficult
to
re-
move. In addition,
each
tire
and
wheel weighs approxi-
mately 90 pounds
and
is
difficult
to
handle.
It
is
there·
fore' advisable that you obtain road service wherever
possible
and
only attempt
to
change tires yourself under
emergency conditions.
WARNING
LOOSENING THE REAR LUG BOLTS
MAY
RE-
LEASE BOTH OUTSIDE
AND
INSIDE WHEELS. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE LUGS
WITHOUT
HAV-
INGA
JACK IN PROPER POSITION
TO
ABSORB
WEIGHT.
If
the
flat
tire
is
on
()ne
.of the inside (rear)'dual wheels,
the outside wheel on
that
'side
will
give adequ;lte sup-
port
and
no tire ch;lnge m;ly
be
required. Just continue
at reduced
speeds
to
a service station
for
repair.

AUXILIARY GENERATOR
POWER
PLANT
(OP-
TIONAL)
'.
"The
engine'driven 115·volt generator power plant (if
in·
stalled)
is
looated
in
a special compartment. This
gen-
,erator
option has a self'starting system which includes
the auxiliary battery. Controls are
at
the
generator and
,at a remote control panel located inside the motor home.
Refer
to
Figure'
10
for
the
generator power system and
auxiliary control panel.
The 115-volt
output
of
the
generator
is
provided direct-
ly
to
a receptacle which
is
located inside
the
power cord
storage compartment for models with
the
generator pow-
1lr
plant option. With
the
generator power plant operat·
ing and
the
power cord plugged into this receptacle,
power
is
'conducted through the circuit breaker panel
to
supply
all
of the
115·voltpower
requirements
of
the
motor home, just
as
if
the
cord were connected
to
an ex·
ternal power source (see Figure 9). '
Gasoline for
the
generator
is
taken from the main fuel
tank
throu\l.h a special feeder tube which
is
higher
in
the
tank than the feeder
tube
to
the motor·home engine.
This
is
to
prevent immobilizing the motor home
by
ac·
cidentally permitting the generator
to
run
the
fuel tank
dry.
, NOTE: Refer
to
your Generator Power Plant Manu·
facturer's Instruction Manual (provided
in
your Owner's Information
Kit)
for service
in·
formation before starting the generator,
Do
not
start unit with a heavy power load.
AI·
ways wait at least,three minutes after starting
generator before turning on (or plugging
in)
heavy electrical loads. (Example:
When
op·
tional r'oof air conditioner
is
installed,)

the
hour,s
of running
time
on
the
generator. Operating-hours information
is
important
in
scheduling proper service maintenance for
the generator.
ROOF AIR CONDITIONER (OPTIONAL)
Your
motor
home may have one or
two
air conditioners
installed on the roof (see Figure
11),
which use 115·volt
power from the generator power plant or from
the
ex-
ternalpower
source,depending on system design. ' The
air conditioner has three controls
on
the
lower panel of
the air conditioner,
as
shown
in
Fi~ure
11. These are a
13
blower switch, a thermostat,
and
an
airflow direction
control. A removable
filter
is
located on the air con-
ditlontlr
panel
inside the vehicle. For best results,
care-
fuily,follow
all instructions provided by the air con-
ditioner manufacturer
with
regard
to
operation
and
maintenance. CAUTION
IF THE AIR CONDITIONER
IS
SWITCHED OFF FOR
ANY
REASON, WAIT A
FEW.
MINUTES BEFORE
STARTING
IT
AGAIN TO
AVOID
OVERLOADING
