Stabilizer Jacks
(Optional)
The stabilizer jacks are mounted on the
front and rear roadside and curbside of the
recreational vehicle. These jacks are for
stabilizing only. Primary leveling is performed
with blocks under the wheels and the tongue
jack. Lower the stabilizing jacks after leveling
by using the crank handle until they firmly
contact the ground. Place wooden blocks under
the pads if necessary. Raise jacks by turning
the cranks counterclockwise.
CAUTION:
Do not use the stabilizing jack(s) for
leveling on uneven ground or to change
tires. Never use jack(s) to elevate any
wheel off the ground. Damage to the
stabilizer jack(s) and recreational
vehicle main frame can occur.
crank hanDleS
There are various crank handles used to
operate such items as the front power jack,
stabilizer jacks (optional), and undercarriage
mounted spare tire carrier. The crank handles
are located within the interior living area.
Set-up proceDure
The set-up procedure has information on
hooking up the utilities and preparing the
appliances for use. Specific information on the
slideout room, awning and leveling operation
is discussed in other sections. The set-up
procedure is only a guide as not all models
and floorplans are equally equipped. Locations
of some items will vary with options and
floorplans.
1. Level the Recreational Vehicle:
Follow the procedures and guidelines
for “Leveling” in this section.
The parking surface needs to
accommodate the weight placed on
the tongue jack.
If applicable, unlock any slide locks
which may secure the slide room.
Check for lateral clearance before
extending the slide out room.
2. Hook up utilities and prepare
appliances for use:
Open the primary propane tank valve.
Prepare the shore power cord for
connection. Uncoil and inspect
the cord. Perform necessary cord
maintenance. Install proper electrical
adapters if necessary. Operate electrical
appliances in sequence when hooked
to limited shore power service. Turn
shore power circuit breaker Off prior to
plugging in the shore power cord. (See
“Shore Power Hook-up”
in Section 8.)
If possible, begin appliance operation
on propane for the first 60 minutes.
Switch refrigerator operation to
propane, start the water heater and
furnace (if needed).
CAUTION:
If shore power service is limited to 15
or 20 Amps, use of light duty extension
cords and electrical adapters will create
a voltage loss through the cord and at
each electrical connection. Line voltage
loss and resistance at each connection
can overheat electrical connections.
Damage to sensitive electronic
equipment may result.
