your motor home and includes
instructions for its safe use.
This manual, including photographs and
illustrations, is of a general nature only.
Some equipment and features described
or shown in this manual may be
optional or unavailable on your model.
Because of Winnebago Industries’
continuous program of product
improvement, it is possible that recent
product changes and information may
not be included.
The instructions included in this manual
are intended as a guide, and in no way
extend the responsibilities of Winnebago
Industries beyond the standard written
warranty as presented in this manual.
The descriptions, illustrations, and
specifications in this manual were
correct at the time of printing. We reserve
the right to change specifications or

incurring obligation to install the same
on products previously manufactured.
The materials in your InfoCase contain
warranty information and operating and
maintenance instructions for the various
appliances and components in your motor home.
NOTE: Many of the instruction sheets and
manuals for the various appliances and
components have been incorporated into
the Operator Manual Supplement for
your convenience.

SECTION 2 SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS
•Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be
occupied while the vehicle is moving.
•Make sure all passengers have seat belts
fastened. Lap belts should fit low on the hips
and upper thighs. The shoulder belt should be
positioned snug over the shoulder.
•For pregnant women, the lap belt should be
placed under the abdomen and across the
upper thighs. The shoulder belt should be
positioned across the center of the chest.
Consult your doctor if you have any
questions.
•Child restraints should be installed properly
according to manufacturer’s instructions. See
“Child Restraints.”
•All moveable or swiveling seats should be
placed and locked in forward facing positions
while the vehicle is moving.
•Never let passengers stand or kneel on seats
while the vehicle is moving.
•Sleeping facilities are not to be utilized while
vehicle is moving.
•Examine the escape window and be familiar
with its operation.
•Inspect the fire extinguisher monthly for
proper charge and operating condition. This
should also be done before beginning a
vacation or any extended trip.
•Driving through water deep enough to wet the
brakes may affect stopping distance or cause
the vehicle to pull to one side. Check brake
operation in a safe area to be sure they have
not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if
a difference in braking efficiency is
noticeable.
•Adverse weather conditions and extremes in
terrain may affect handling and/or
performance of your vehicle. Refer to your
chassis manual for related information.
PROPANE GAS LEAK
DETECTOR
Your coach is equipped with one of the
propane gas leak detectors shown below. The
leak detector sounds an alarm if an unsafe
amount of propane gas is present inside the
coach.
5 - DASH / AUTO
DRIVING SAFETY
•Do not attempt to adjust the driver’s seat while
the vehicle is moving.
•Do not adjust tilt steering in a moving vehicle.
•Do not operate the cruise control on icy or
extremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy
traffic, or in any other traffic situation where
a constant speed cannot be maintained.
•Use care when accelerating or decelerating on
a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can
cause skidding and loss of control.
Propane Gas Leak Detectors (typical)
Because propane gas is heavier than air, the
leak detector is located on a cabinet face near the
floor of the coach.
2-1
SECTION 2
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Never use an open flame to test for gas
leaks. When testing for gas line leaks with
a soapy water solution, DO NOT use a
detergent containing ammonia or
chlorine. These substances may
generate a chemical reaction causing
corrosion to gas lines, resulting in
dangerous leak conditions.
Power Connection
The propane gas leak detector is powered by
the house batteries. If the auxiliary battery switch
is shut off or the battery cable is disconnected
from the batteries, the alarm will not work. The
propane gas leak detector fuse or circuit breaker
is located in the 12-volt house electrical load
center.
Because the propane gas leak detector is
connected to the house battery, it is always
drawing a small amount of current. Even though
this current draw is slight, it could drain the house
battery during storage periods when the house
battery will not be charged regularly by the
engine or shoreline. Turn the Aux. Batt switch
OFF to avoid current drain during storage
periods.
Further Information
See the manufacturer’s information in your
InfoCase for further instructions on nuisance
alarms and care and testing of the propane gas
leak detector.
CARBON MONOXIDE
WARNING
WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust and ventilation
system. It is recommended that the exhaust
system and body be inspected by a qualified
motor home service center.
•Each time the vehicle is serviced for an oil
change.
•Whenever a change in the sound of the
exhaust system is noticed.
•Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or
rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle’s
ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet
grill clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at
all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED
VEHICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR
AN EXTENDED PERIOD.
Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a
garage, except to move vehicle into or out of the
area.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
Your coach is equipped with a carbon
monoxide (CO) alarm located on the ceiling in
the bedroom area. The CO alarm is powered by a
9-volt battery and has a sensor that is designed to
detect toxic carbon monoxide gas fumes
resulting from incomplete combustion of fuel. It
will detect CO gas from any combustion source
such as the furnace, gas range/oven, water heater,
refrigerator, chassis engine, and electric
generator engine.

SECTION 2
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
MOLD, MOISTURE AND YOUR
MOTOR HOME
What is Mold?
Molds are part of the natural environment.
They are as old as the Earth itself. And mold
spores are almost everywhere at some level
waiting to grow. Mold plays a part of nature by
breaking down dead organic matter such a fallen
leaves and dead trees. Indoors, however, mold
growth should be avoided. Molds reproduce by
means of tiny spores. Those spores are invisible
to the naked eye and float throughout the outdoor
and indoor air. Because of the nature of the use of
a motor home, it is natural for a motor home to be
introduced into an environment with mold
spores.
Mold is a plant and requires its own special
environment to grow. That environment includes
organic materials, nutrients, moisture, and proper
temperature.
How Can I Avoid Mold?
To reduce the ability for mold to grow, you
must reduce what constitutes its growth
environment. Mold can grow with the smallest of
a nutrient base. Just small amounts of dirt or dust
on the carpet can be enough to allow the mold
process to begin. Keep the environment as clean
as possible. Vacuum the carpet. Clean food spills
thoroughly and quickly. Avoid grease buildup
near the stove or sink. Clean the exhaust fan
above the stove often.
Minimize moisture in your motor home and
keep humidity low. Clean spills quickly. Do not
allow condensation to build up. You can open
windows and vents to minimize condensation.
Use of the air conditioner can assist in removing
moisture from the air. Avoid leaks and if leaks do
occur, make repairs promptly.
Avoid bringing mold into your motor home.
Plants, cloths, books, and other household items
may already have mold present. It is easy to
transfer mold into your motor home
environment.
2-5
SECTION 2
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
Monitor your motor home. Periodically check
those hidden areas in corners, closets, and
cabinets to assure mold is not present.
What if I Have Mold?
If mold develops, clean the area with a
concentrate of soap and bleach. Items that
contain mold that cannot be cleaned should be
removed from the vehicle.
Can Mold Harm Me?
The effects of mold and airborne mold spores
may cause irritation to some people. Experts
disagree on the level of exposure that may cause
health concerns.
If Mold Is Present, What Will
Winnebago Industries Do?
If Winnebago Industries determines that mold
is present in the Winnebago/Itasca motor home
as a result of a manufacturing defect reported to
Winnebago Industries within the limited
warranty period, Winnebago will clean the
affected areas and/or replace affected items as it
deems necessary. This is the extent of coverage
provided by Winnebago Industries. Winnebago
Industries, however, will not assume
responsibility for mold deemed to be a result of a
motor home users lack of timely and appropriate
action to mitigate circumstances should a
problem occur.
If Winnebago Industries determines that mold
is present due to conditions it determines is not a
result of a manufacturing defect found within the
warranty period, Winnebago Industries will not
provide any financial assistance to the repair of
the condition.
emergency requires you to change the tire
yourself, please exercise extreme caution and
read all tire changing information in the chassis
manual.
Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by
a jack only.
If You Get A Flat Tire
•DO NOT panic.
•Grip the steering wheel firmly and steer the
vehicle as straight as possible. Avoid quick
maneuvers. You may need to counter-steer to
compensate for “pull” created by the failed
tire.
•DO NOT stomp on the brake. This abruptly
shifts the vehicle’ s weight forward, making it
nose-dive and pull toward the blown-out side.
•DO NOT jerk your foot off the accelerator.
Just ease back on the accelerator slowly and
gently to continue momentum. The deflated
tire will slow the vehicle.
•If you must change lanes to get to a safe
stopping place, use your signals to warn other
motorists and change lanes smoothly and
carefully after you are certain the lane is clear .
•Let the vehicle coast to a stop, gently steering
to a safe stopping place off the traffic lanes of
the road. Don’t worry about damaging the tire
or wheel rim by driving on it. A tire or wheel
replacement is cheaper than damaging the
vehicle or injuring yourself.
•When you have come to a stop, activate your
hazard flashers to warn other motorists, then
exit the vehicle carefully.
•Set out flares or other warning devices.
Check your tires for proper inflation before

SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not attempt to push start this vehicle.
Damage to the transmission or other
parts of the vehicle will occur.
ENGINE OVERHEAT
If you see or hear steam escaping from the
engine compartment or have any other reason to
suspect an extreme engine overheating condition,
pull the vehicle over to the roadside as soon as it
is safe to do so, stop the engine and get all
passengers out of the vehicle.

WARNING
Make sure that there are no people who
could be harmed due to power seat
reclining or position adjustment.
Be sure driver and passenger front seat
backs are in upright position before
retracting slideout rooms to avoid
damage.
To Face Driver’s Seat Rearward:
•Tilt the steering wheel all the way up and put
the left armrest down.
•Move the seat rearward fully and then ahead a
few inches.
•Swivel the seat to the right until it just contacts
the steering wheel, then move the seat ahead
all the way to clear the steering wheel.
•Swivel the seat the rest of the way to face the
living area.
•Collapse the steering column all the way and
position the tilt wheel down to provide
maximum clearance to recline the seat.
•Reverse the procedure to face the seat
forward.
Armrest Adjustment
The armrests may be swung upward out of the
way for easy exit or access to the front seats. A
roller on the underside of the front of the armrest
also lets you adjust the resting angle for personal
comfort, whether the seat is upright or reclined.
SEAT BELTS
Seats intended for occupancy while the
vehicle is in motion are equipped with seat belts
for the protection of the driver and passengers.
Lap Belts
The lap belts must be worn as low as possible
and fit snugly across the hip area. Always sit
erect and well back into the seat. To gain full
protection of the safety belt, never let more than
one person use the same safety belt at any one
time, and do not let the safety belts become
damaged by pinching them in the doors or in the
seat mechanism. After any serious accident, any
seat belts which were in use at the time must be
inspected and replaced if necessary.

3- Press to
release
2- Pull strap to tighten
Adjustment
To lengthen belt, swivel the tab end at a right
angle to belt and pull strap to desired length. To
shorten, pull loose end of belt.
To Fasten
Be sure belt is not twisted. Grasp each part of
the belt assembly and push tongue into buckle.
Adjust to a snug fit by pulling the loose end away
from the tongue.
To Release
Press button in center of buckle and slide
tongue out of buckle.
WARNING
Snug and low belt positions are essential.
This will ensure that the force exerted by
the lap belt in a collision is spread over the
strong hip area and not across the
abdomen, which could result in serious
injury.
Only seats equipped with seat belts are to
be occupied while vehicle is in motion.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
Fastening
Hold the belt just behind the tongue using the
hand nearest to the door. Next, bring the belt
across the body and insert the tongue into the
buckle until the latch engages.
Unfastening
Press the release button in the buckle. Hold
onto the tongue when you release it from the
buckle to keep it from retracting too rapidly.
When the lap-shoulder belt is in use, the lap
belt must ride low across the hip area and the
shoulder belt must ride diagonally over the
shoulder toward the buckle.
The shoulder belt is designed to lock only
during a sudden stop, sudden body movement or
a collision. At all other times it will move freely
with the occupant.
SECTION 3
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
WARNING
Never wear the shoulder belt in any
position other than as stated above.
Failure to do so could increase the
chance or extent of injury in a collision.
Seat Belt Care and Cleaning
•Be careful not to damage the belt webbing and
hardware. Take care not to pinch them in the
seat or doors.
•Inspect the belts and hardware periodically.
Check for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not
remove or modify the belt system.
•Keep belts clean and dry. If the belts need
cleaning, use only a mild soap and water
solution. Do not use hot water. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, bleach or dyes. These
products may weaken the belts.
•Replace any belt assembly that was used
during a severe impact. Replace the complete
assembly even if damage is not apparent.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
A properly installed and secured child
restraint system can help reduce the chance or
severity of personal injury to a child in an
accident or during a sudden maneuver. Children
may have a greater chance of being injured in an
accident if they are seated in a child restraint
system which is not properly secured.
A child restraint system is designed to be
secured in a vehicle seat by a lap belt or the lap
belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
When purchasing a child restraint system,
follow these guidelines:
1. Look for the label certifying that it meets all
applicable safety standards.
2. Make sure that it will attach to your vehicle
and restrain your child securely and
conveniently so that you are able to install it
correctly each time it is used.
3-3
SECTION 3
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
3. Be certain that it is appropriate for the child's
height, weight and development. The
instructions and/or the regulation label
attached to the restraint typically provides this
information.

use of the restraint. Be sure that you
understand them fully and can install the
restraint properly and safely in your vehicle.
