and GCWR as well as adequate trailer brakes. Refer to the chassis operator's manual of your motor home for further towing

Some chassis are equipped with Flex Fuel capable engines, however the gasoline generator installed in your motorhome is not capable of running on E85 fuel. Refer to the generator operator's manual for more information on proper fuel.

All information is based upon the most recent data available. Visit the W innebago Industries, Inc. web page – www.winnebagoind.com – for the most current product information.

The height of each model is measured to the top of the tallest standard feature and is based on the curb weight of a typically

equipped unit. The actual height of your vehicle may vary by several inches depending on chassis or equipment variations.

Floorplans feature a wide-body design - over 96". You should be aware that some states restrict access on some or all state

roads to 96" in body width. You should confirm the road usage laws in the states of interest to you.

The load capacity of your motor home is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available

space when loading your motor home.

• 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: Never place the shoulder belt behind your back or under your arm. Adjust the lap belt across your hips/ pelvis, and below your belly. Place the shoulder belt across your chest (between your breasts) and away from your neck.

• 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 travel position 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 SAFETY

This motorhome has been designed, manufactured and tested with concern for the protection of it’s occupants. We recommend you perform the following inspections for your safety and the safety of your passengers before starting your vehicle.

1. LP GAS SYSTEM - Turn off at tank for traveling. Test for leaks upon arrival at destination before lighting pilots.

2. WHEELS - Inspect for damage and check lug nuts for tightness.

3. TIRES - Inspect for wear and damage and check for recommended air pressure.

4. LIGHTING - Test for proper operation of all interior and exterior lights including dash lights, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, clearance lights, and turn signals.

5. EXITS - Inspect release mechanism on emergency exit window, test both locks on main entrance door for ease of operation and instruct passengers how to use both means of exit.

6. SEAT BELTS - Direct passengers to designated seats, be certain swivel seats are locked into position, and require use of a seat belt. See operator’s manual for occupancy and weight restrictions.

7. APPLIANCES - Turn off and latch or lock doors where provided.

8. LOOSE PARCELS - Store securely.

9. UTILITY SUPPL Y LINES - Disconnect all electrical, sewer and water lines and secure properly.

SECTION 2 –

DANGER

WARNING

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

• 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.

• Never drive the vehicle with a slideout room extended.

• 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 complete and related information on driving your vehicle.

FUEL AND PROPANE GAS

All pilot lights, appliances, and their ignitors (see operating instructions) shall be turned off before refueling of motor fuel tanks and/or propane containers. Can cause ignition of flammable vapors, which can lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.

Propane gas containers, gasoline, or other flammable liquids shall not be placed or stored onboard the vehicle because a fire or explosion may result. Propane gas containers are equipped with safety valves, which relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

• All pilot lights must be extinguished and appliances turned off while refilling the fuel tank or propane gas tank.

• Never smoke while refilling vehicle fuel tank or propane gas tank.

• Never use an open flame to test for propane gas leaks. Replace all protective covers and caps on propane system after filling. Make sure valve is closed and the door is latched securely.

• Never connect natural gas to the propane gas system.

• When lighting range burners, do not turn burner controls to “On” and allow gas to escape before lighting match.

• Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves shall not be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.

• Propane gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators are equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage, which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.

• The following warning label is located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.

SECTION 2 –

WARNING

Propane Gas Leak Detector

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

Do not use gas cooking appliances for comfort heating. Can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to death or serious injury.

Gas cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operating: Open vents or windows slightly or turn on exhaust fan prior to using cooking appliance. Gas flames consume oxygen, which should be replaced to ensure proper combustion. Improper use can result in death or serious injury.

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) avoids 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. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

IF YOU SMELL PROPANE

1. Extinguish any open flames and all smoking materials.

2. Shut off the propane supply at the container valve(s) or propane supply connection.

3. Do not touch electrical switches.

4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.

5. Leave the area until odor clears.

6. Have the propane system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.

Ignition of flammable vapors could lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.

PROPANE GAS LEAK DETECTOR

Your coach is equipped with a Propane Gas Leak Detector, similar to the one shown below. The leak detector sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of propane gas is present inside the coach.

PROPANE GAS LEAKS

Check propane gas system for leaks yearly, or

as necessary.

The following label is located in the vehicle near the range area. If you smell gas within the vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the procedures listed.

SECTION 2 –

WARNING

Carbon Monoxide Alarm

(9V Battery Required)

- Press the Test/Reset button weekly to test

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT 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. Death or serious injury can result.

Power Connection

The Propane Gas Leak Detector is powered by the house batteries. If the House/Coach Battery Disconnect 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.

CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM

Your coach is equipped with a Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm, which is located on the ceiling or wall in the bedroom area.

The CO Alarm in your coach may either be powered by a 9-volt battery or 12-volt coach power (depending on model), 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.

To reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, test this alarms operation after the coach has been in storage, before each trip, and at least once per week during use by pressing the Test/Reset button on the alarm.

Replacement

When replacing this alarm, we recommend replacing only with the same model, or with one that is also listed for RV application. We recommend obtaining a replacement from your Winnebago Industries® dealer.

FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION

Some of the materials used in this recreational vehicle emit formaldehyde. Eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms, including shortness of breath have been reported as a result of formaldehyde exposure. Reaction to formaldehyde exposure may vary among individuals. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems may be at greater risk. Research is continuing on the possible long-term effects of exposure to formaldehyde. Inadequate ventilation may allow formaldehyde and other contaminants to accumulate in indoor air. Ventilation to dilute the indoor air may be obtained from a passive or mechanical ventilation system. Always be sure to thoroughly ventilate your recreational vehicle before and during each use. High indoor temperatures and humidity may raise formaldehyde levels. When a recreational vehicle is in areas subject to high temperatures, an air conditioning system can be used to control indoor temperature levels. If you have any questions regarding the health effects of formaldehyde, consult your doctor or local health department.

This vehicle, like other vehicles, may contain small amounts of one or more substances which are listed by the state of California for causing cancer or reproductive toxicity.

MOLD, MOISTURE, AND YOUR MOTORHOME

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 as 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 motorhome, it is natural for a motorhome 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 motorhome and keep humidity low. Clean spills quickly. Do not allow condensation to build up. You can open

2-9

SECTION 2 –

WARNING

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

windows and vents to minimize condensation. Use of the air conditioner can assist in removing moisture from the air. Avoid leaks, but if leaks do occur, make repairs promptly.

Avoid bringing mold into your motorhome. Plants, cloths, books, and other household items may already have mold present. It is easy to transfer mold into your motorhome environment.

Monitor your motorhome. Periodically check those hidden areas in corners, closets, and cabinets to assure mold is not present.

What if I Find 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

If Winnebago Industries determines that mold is present in the Winnebago®/Itasca® motorhome as a result of a manufacturing defect reported to Winnebago Industries within the limited warranty period, Winnebago will clean the affected area(s) 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 motorhome 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.

ROOF AND LADDERS

–If Equipped

STAY OFF ROOF. Surface may be slippery. Falling could result in death or serious injury.

The ladder on your motorhome is provided for

limited access to the roof.

Walking or working on the roof should be left to qualified service personnel using proper safety equipment in a safe environment. You should only walk or work on the roof if you are qualified and have created a safe environment.

For your safety, it is not recommended that you store or carry items on the roof.

Before Using the Ladder

• Inspect the ladder to make sure it is not

damaged. Never use a damaged ladder.

• Keep the rungs of the ladder clean and dry

while in use. Never use the ladder when it is raining, snowing, or icy. The rungs can become slippery . Do not step onto the rungs if the rungs are wet, or if your shoes are wet or carry mud or debris that could result in a loss of footing.

• Never ignore warning labels or weight limits

defined on your ladder. The following warning label is located on or near the ladder:

Do not exceed 225-lb. maximum weight capacity . Misuse of ladder could result in death or serious injury. See Operator’s Manual before using ladder.

• Maximum Capacity: 225 lbs.

• Do not overload. Ladder is intended for one

person.

2-10

SECTION 2 –

WARNING

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

• Make sure you are physically capable to

safely use the ladder . Strength, flexibility , and stability are required.

• Be aware that the vehicle may sway as you

climb the ladder . Do not use the ladder in high winds.

• As you climb the ladder, grasp the side rails

firmly and always use both hands. Keep your body centered between the side rails. Do not over-reach.

• Never allow children on the ladder.

• Do not transport items anchored to the

ladder. You could damage the ladder.

ROADSIDE EMERGENCY

Because of the size and weight of this vehicle and its tires, and the possible complications involved in tire changing, we strongly advise obtaining professional road service to change a flat tire whenever possible. However, if an 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.

• Let the vehicle coast to a stop, gently steering to a safe stopping place off the traffic lanes of the road. Do not 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 each trip and at least once a month with an accurate tire gauge.

Recovery Towing

When calling a professional towing service, we recommend that you advise them of your coach length and approximate front axle weight listed on your Vehicle Certification Label. This will allow the towing operator to determine the proper towing equipment to use.

Winnebago Industries® does not assume responsibility for damage incurred while towing this vehicle.

NOTE: Consult your chassis manual for towing

instructions or precautions provided by the chassis manufacturer.

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 .

NOTICE

Do not lift on bumper . Damage will result to front end body parts.

Stay out from beneath the motorhome while it is suspended by the towing assembly. Do not allow passengers to occupy a towed vehicle. Death or serious injury can result.
