TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 2 DRIVING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS• Examine wheel lug nuts to assure their proper tightness. If any lug nuts were found to be loose, first checkthe fit of the wheel to the hub to make sure that the wheel is not mis-mounted which would produce a“wobbly” wheel when the motor home is in motion, then tighten the lug nuts.• Check all fluid levels (e.g., engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power-steering fluid, brake fluid,\battery fluid [if applicable], windshield-washer solvent) to assure correct levels are maintained.Fill any low reservoirs, as needed.• DO NOT SUBSTITUTE any other fluids for specified oils, transmission fluid, brake fluid, or other hydraulicfluids—in most instances, substitutions are not acceptable and may void warranties.• Prior to starting the motor-home engine, make sure that all lines (e.g., water, sewer) and electrical powercords are disconnected and properly stowed.• Assure that the leveling jacks are in the “travel” position.• After entering the motor home, make sure that the electrically-actuated, retractable step has properlyoperated to retract the step fully before starting the engine of the motor home.DrivingVarious adjustments need to be made to assure the driver’s comfort andthe safety of the motor home before starting and moving the motor home;these include:• The driver should adjust the driver’s seat, the tilt steering, theexterior rear-view mirrors, and the instrumentation panel(Figure 2-1) lighting (if night-time) for the driver’s comfort andsafety. This is especially important for first-time use so that thedriver may become accustomed to the “feel” of the motorhome and know where the various adjustments are located“before the fact”; not after some need arises while the motorhome is in service.Figure 2-1. Driver’s Side Dashboard andInstrumentation Console• The driver should be familiar with all gauges, instruments, switches, and indicators on the instrument panel(Figure 2-1) prior to driving. Should the driver encounter any “unknowns” on the panel, they should beinvestigated (via the Owner’s Manual or Owner’s Information Package) prior to departure so that the driverfully understands these items and their functions.• One should never adopt a “learn as you go” philosophy, as there are too many controls and switches to beunderstood before the motor home is actually used. Please take the time to become thoroughly familiar withthe entire instrument panel prior to using the motor home.2-4
TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 2 DRIVING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS• Do not operate the cruise-control function during any extreme weather situations (e.g., snow, ice, sleet,heavy rain) or when road conditions are hazardous (icy, snowy, winding roads, city traffic) or when aconstant speed of the motor home is not possible or if traffic conditions don’t warrant such.• Avoid driving the motor home through any standing water. If deep enough, such water can wet the brake padsand cause fading of the brakes (i.e., loss of braking power) and lead to excessive sliding or pulling to one sideor another. If one has driven through standing water, at the first opportunity safely to do so, check the brakingaction. If braking has degraded, lightly apply the brakes to allow the brake pads to dry—don’t use the motorhome when the braking function is significantly reduced.• Know the limits of operation of the motor home. Don’t try to achieve excessive speeds, climb overly steep hills,traverse overly long grades, attempt to use the motor home as an “off-the-road” (OTR) motor home, rapidlyswitch lanes, or rapidly accelerate or decelerate the motor home. When in doubt about the handlingcharacteristics of the motor home, consult your chassis manual for information.• The solar or blackout shade is operated by a switch located on the driver’s console. Depress the switch to loweror raise shade. The switch will be labeled “VISOR.” The time delay switch must be held a few seconds before itis activated. CAUTION: DO NOT over extend the shade as this may block the view of the road.ICC (Interstate Commerce Commission) SwitchOn the driver’s side console, one will notice a switch labeled “ICC.” This switch (Figure 2-2)is a momentary pushbutton switch–it is active only when the switch is being pressed. Thisswitch enables the driver to communicate with other traffic by flashing the clearance andsidelights of the Allegro RED. If the lights are presently “on,” the switch will momentarilyturn them “off.” If the lights are “off,” the switch will momentarily turn them “on.”Fuels for the Motor homeFigure 2-2. ICC SwitchYour motor home is designed to have several types of petroleum-derived fuels used in the routine operation of themotor home—these require prudent and safe handling to assure safety of the motor home and its occupants; namely:• Anytime the motor fuel (i.e., diesel fuel, see Figure 2-2) or the LP tank (see Figure 2-2)is to be filled, the motor home engine is to be turned “off,” all pilot lights must beextinguished, and appliances turned “off.” Further, during any filling operation orconnecting/disconnecting of any LP tanks, a NO SMOKING policy should always beobserved. In a similar manner, any other comparable devices of the motor-home users(e.g., butane camp-lights, propane lights and grills) should be treated in a similarmanner to assure the safety of all concerned.2-5
