SECTION 2

DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME

3. Place front seats in the forward facing posi-

tion.

4. Be sure to fasten all safety belts to fit you

comfortably, but tight enough to obtain the

full safety of the belts.

5. Make sure all doors are completely shut and

locked. When the doors are shut and locked,

there is less change of the doors flying open

in event of an accident. It also prevents unin-

tentional opening of doors and keeps intrud-

ers out of your vehicle.

6. Check to see that all gauges are operating

properly.

7. Check the fuel level in the vehicle.

8. Be certain that the fire extinguisher is fully

charged and secure in its mounting bracket.

“KEY ONE” LOCK SYSTEM

Your coach is equipped with the new Key

One

lock system. A single key will open every

door lock in the entire motor home (except the se-

curity deadbolt lock on the entrance door). This

means you don’t have to sort through a handful of

keys to find the right one for the water fill door or

the luggage doors or the entrance door or the

driver’s door.

The key number for your coach is registered in

our factory database, so if you ever lose your

keys, any Winnebago Industries dealership can

easily order a new key for you. They are also

equipped with special master keys and can un-

lock your coach for you if needed.

FUEL SELECTION

Refer to your Freightliner chassis operating

guide for the manufacturer's recommendations

on proper fuel selection.

Winter Fuel Waxing and Anti-Gel Additives

In sub-freezing temperatures, #2 diesel fuel

can form small wax crystals that become trapped

in the fuel filter and block the fuel flow to the

engine, causing it to stall out. At sub-zero tem-

peratures, the fuel can congeal and turn

“slushy”. If this happens, the only remedy is to

have the vehicle towed into a heated facility to

allow the fuel to warm up and become fully liq-

uid again.

During winter time, most truck stops and rep-

utable filling stations have winter blend diesel

fuels available that are less susceptible to wax-

ing.

There are also commercially available prod-

ucts, typically called anti-gel additives, to add to

diesel fuel while filling the tank to inhibit wax

formation in freezing temperatures.

Consult your Freightliner chassis guide or

Cummins engine guide for more information on

fuel requirements and additives.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

Diesel fuel, especially #2 grade, can foam up

while being pumped into the tank. Sometimes

this foam can cause the pump nozzle to shut off

before the tank is actually full. Allow the foam to

settle then resume filling at a slower flow rate un-

til the tank is full.

Fuel Tank Capacity: 125 gals. diesel

STARTING AND

STOPPING ENGINE

Refer to your Freightliner chassis operating

guide for the manufacturer's recommendations

on starting and stopping the engine.

See also “Engine Block Heater” elsewhere in

this section.

Cold Weather Starting: Please note the follow-

ing cold weather starting precautions. These

labels are also located in appropriate areas of the

coach. Failure to follow these precautions could

cause serious damage to your diesel engine.

CAUTION

Be sure hood and all compartment

doors are latched securely before

driving vehicle
