Safety Features:
The leveling system has safety features that prevent
a jack from extending during travel . The control panel
will not activate until these safety features are in place:
• The engine is running .
• Transmission is in park .
• Park brake is applied .
Warning Features:
• Lights on the control panel will flash and alarm will
sound if a jack is extended, the ignition is turned on
and park brake released .
• Should the Jacks Down alarm activate momentarily
when driving over rough roads and corners, this
could indicate the fluid level in the reservoir is low .
Control Panel:
The control panel includes an On/Off button, 4-position
jack extend buttons, an Auto (automatic) button, a
Man (manual) button, and an All Jacks retract button .
PRIOR TO LEVELING
Before lowering the suspension, survey the area around
and under the motorhome for obstructions that can
damage the motorhome or undercarriage components .
Damage to the mud flap can occur if located over a
raised area .
• Clear all debris and obstructions of jack landing
points . Landing points must be flat and stable
enough to support the weight without giving way .
• Ensure people and pets are clear of the motorhome
and surrounding area during leveling system
operation .
• Do not expose hands or other parts of the body
near hydraulic leaks . The hydraulic system operates
at high pressure . Hydraulic leaks can cut and inject
hydraulic fluid causing serious injury .

CAUTION:
Do not move the motorhome while jack(s) are
extended or in contact with the ground . Damage
to jacks and/or jack mounts can occur .
NOTE:
If additional height or surface support is needed,
construct a 1’ x 1’ wooden block made from two
pieces of 3/4” plywood for a total thickness of
1 1/2” . Drill a hole in corner and use the awning
wand to slide the wooden block under the jack pad .

CAUTION:
Surfaces such as hot
asphalt, gravel or dirt may
not be stable enough to
support the weight . Place
thick plywood under the
jack pads to help disperse
weight . Place a wheel
chock at the opposite
corner to help prevent the
motorhome from rolling if
blocks are placed under a
jack to gain additional height .
