SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! We welcome you to the exciting world of motor home travel and camping. You will find it convenient and enjoyable to have all the comforts of home and still enjoy the great outdoors wherever you choose to go.
Your motor home has been carefully designed, engineered and manufactured to provide dependability as well as safety. Before sliding into the driver’s seat, please become familiar with operations and features. This manual was prepared to aid you in the proper care and operation of the vehicle and equipment. We urge you to read it completely. In addition, spend some time with the dealer when you take delivery; you will want to learn all you can about your new motor home.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Please read this operator’s manual completely to understand how everything in your coach works before taking it on its “maiden voyage.”
NOTE: This manual describes many features of
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
design without notice, and without incurring obligation to install the same on products previously manufactured.

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

OWNER INFOCASE

The materials in your Owner 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. Throughout the Operator’s manual when referred to the InfoCase keep in mind that much of this information will be found in the Operator Manual Supplement. Please read the FAQ in section 1 of the Operator Manual Supplement for more details.

CHASSIS OPERATING GUIDE

Throughout this manual, frequent reference is made to the vehicle chassis operating guide. The chassis guide is the operator’s manual provided by the manufacturer of the chassis on which this motor home is built (e.g., Workhorse or Ford). Consult the chassis guide for operating safety and maintenance instructions pertaining to the chassis section of the motor home.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION

This motor home has been thoroughly inspected before shipment. Your dealer is responsible for performing a complete pre­delivery inspection of the chassis and all motor home components.
As a part of the pre-delivery inspection procedure, the dealer is responsible for road testing the motor home; noting and correcting any problems before delivery.

FRONT AXLE TIRE ALIGNMENT

We recommend that you have the front suspension and steering alignment checked and adjusted after you have fully loaded the vehicle
according to your needs. Thereafter, have alignment inspected periodically to maintain vehicle steering performance and prevent uneven tire wear.

SERVICE AND ASSISTANCE

Your dealer will be glad to provide any additional information you need, as well as answer any questions you might have about operating the equipment in your motor home. When it comes to service, remember that your dealer knows your vehicle best and is interested in your satisfaction. Your dealer will provide quality maintenance and any other assistance that you may require during your ownership of this vehicle.
If you need warranty repairs while traveling you may take your motor home to any authorized Winnebago or Itasca dealership and request their assistance.
See the dealership directory in your Owner InfoCase.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Winnebago Industries, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Winnebago Industries.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

LP GAS LEAK DETECTOR

5 - DASH / AUTO
Your coach is equipped with an LP gas leak detector which sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of LP gas is present inside the coach. Because LP 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

CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING

WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they contain carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
LP Gas Leak Detector
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 LP gas leak detector is powered by the coach batteries. If the auxiliary battery switch is shut off or the battery cable is disconnected from the batteries, the alarm will not work. The LP gas leak detector fuse is located in the 12-volt house electrical load center.
Because the LP gas leak detector is connected to the auxiliary battery, it is always drawing a small amount of current. Even though this current draw is slight, it could drain the coach 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 Owner InfoCase for further instructions on nuisance alarms and care and testing of the LP gas leak detector.
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.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

Your motor home is equipped with a smoke alarm located on the ceiling in the galley area. The smoke alarm is powered by a 9-volt battery and has a sensor that is designed to detect smoke. This alarm meets U.L. Standard 217 and NFPA Standard 74 for operation of smoke detection devices.
The following label is affixed either to the smoke alarm or on the ceiling near the smoke alarm.
A dry chemical fire extinguisher is located
near the main entrance door.
We recommend that you become thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions displayed on the side of the fire extinguisher or in the information supplied in your Owner InfoCase.
We also recommend that you inspect the fire extinguisher for proper charge at least once a month in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommendations as stated on the label.
If the charge is insufficient, the fire extinguisher must be replaced.
2-3
SECTION 2 SAFETY / PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not test the fire extinguisher by discharging it. Partial discharge can cause leakage of pressure or contents which would render the unit inoperative when needed. When using the fire extinguisher , aim the spray at the base of the fire.

EMERGENCY EXITS

WARNING
Use care when exiting emergency window , as broken glass may be present in the exit area.
Escape Window
The bedroom escape window is secured by two red safety latches at the bottom of the window.
To open, lift both latches up and toward the center of the window, then push outward near the bottom of the window.
WARNING
This window should be kept closed while driving to avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into the vehicle.
Using Slider Windows As Emergency Exits
Most slider windows along the side of the motor home can also be used as emergency exits, should the need arise.
To use a slider window as an exit, first slide the window open, then slide the screen open or push the screen material out, depending on window type.
Coaches that are required to have a slider window as an alternate exit window will be marked EXIT and have a red handled latch.
Lift latch handles upward to open Escape Window.

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 operating guide.
Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by a jack only.
SECTION 2
SAFETY / PRECAUTIONS
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 each trip and at least once a month with an accurate tire gauge.
NOTE: Consult the chassis owner’s manual for
any additional towing instructions or precautions provided by the chassis manufacturer.
CAUTION
Do not lift on bumper . Damage will result to front end body parts.
WARNING
Stay out from beneath the motor home while it is suspended by the towing assembly unless the vehicle is adequately supported by safety stands. Do not allow passengers to occupy a towed vehicle.

JUMP STARTING

If your coach will not start from the automotive batteries, try using the Battery Boost Switch to divert power from the coach batteries to the starter. (See Battery Boost Switch) If you wish to try jump starting the engine using another vehicle or booster system, see your chassis owner’s manual for connecting jumper cables to the automotive electrical system.
2 SAFETY / PRECAUTIONS
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.
We recommend that you ask for an underlift (wheel lift or frame lift) type towing assembly for safe towing.
Winnebago Industries does not assume responsibility for damage incurred while towing this vehicle.
WARNING
Do not attempt to push-start this vehicle. Damage to the transmission or other parts of the vehicle will occur.

SECTION 2 SAFETY / PRECAUTIONS

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
Operating a vehicle under a severe overheating condition can result in damage to the vehicle and may result in personal injury.
For information on what to do in case of overheating, consult your chassis operating guide.
Ventilate with outside air:
Partially open one or more windows and a roof vent to circulate outside air through the coach. In cold weather, this ventilation may increase use of the furnace, but it will greatly reduce the condensation inside the coach.
Minimize moisture released inside the coach:
Run the range hood fan while cooking, and open a bath vent while bathing or showering to carry water vapor out of the coach. Avoid making steam from boiling water excessively or letting hot water run. Avoid bringing extra moisture into the coach by way of soaked clothing or snow on shoes. Do not hang-dry wet overcoats or clothing inside the coach.

EFFECTS OF PROLONGED OCCUPANCY

Your motor home was designed primarily for recreational use and short term occupancy. If you expect to occupy your coach for an extended period, be prepared to deal with condensation and humid conditions that may be encountered.
Humidity And Condensation
Moisture condensing on the inside of windows is a visible indication that there is too much humidity inside the coach. Excessive moisture can cause water stains or mildew which can damage interior items such as upholstery and cabinets.
When you recognize the signs of excessive moisture and condensation in your coach, you should take immediate action to minimize their effects.
You can help reduce excessive moisture inside the motor home by taking the following steps:

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.
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.
SECTION 3
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME

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 be injured in an accident if they are seated in a child restraint 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. According to accident statistics, children are also safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than in front seating positions.
When purchasing a child restraint system:
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. 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.
4. Review the instructions for installation and
use of the restraint. Be sure that you understand them fully and can install the restraint properly and safely in your vehicle.
