CHASSIS
STEP WELL COVER
Your motorhome is equipped with a pneumatically powered step well cover.
The switch (valve) is a black lever located in the front of the passenger right hand
armrest. The air pressure is supplied by the chassis air ride system. It is normal for the
air system to leak down so you may find the cover to be inoperable if the engine has
been shut off for a period of time.
The intent of the step cover is to provide the passenger with a “floor” while traveling
and then be retracted so the steps can be used when stopped. With this in mind you
can see where the loss of air after the motorhome has been shut off for a time is not a
problem. When you park the motorhome you’ll normally retract the step cover so you
can at least get out and stretch your legs.
If you happen to lose air pressure before retracting the step cover just starting the
engine for a few minutes will replenish the air supply.
WARNING : Do not operate the pneumatic cover while standing in the
step well.
WINDSHEILD WIPER
The wiper system is a made by Trico and uses a 28” blade. The washer bottle and
motor is located in the roadside front compartment.
AIR SUPPLY
There is an air supply chuck located in the roadside front compartment. A hose and
fitting is included with the tool kit for your convenience. The air is supplied by the
chassis compressor and will be replenished only with the ignition on.
