CHASSIS INFORMATION — 10
Road holding, handling, balance and braking
characteristics all can be contributed to the shock
absorber. The operating conditions for which the
shock absorber must endure will determine the
life span. However, since the only moving part is
the piston rod, there are no springs, hinges or pins
to wear out, get weak or deteriorate.
AIR LEVELING
The air leveling control touchpad is located
on the driver’s console. The computer
controlled system can operate automatically
or manually to adjust the air springs when
leveling the motorhome.
NOTE:
The motorhome engine must be ON for
the air suspension to operate.
NOTE:
The automatic leveling system will
perform best if there is no movement
in the motorhome while the system is
attempting to level.
CAUTION:
Several inches of unobstructed
downward travel is required when using
the leveling system. Look underneath
the motorhome for any obstacles
that could damage the undercarriage
components before using the leveling
system.
WARNING:
DO NOT engage the leveling system
when anybody is near or underneath
the motorhome. Serious injury or death
can occur.
Automatic Air Leveling
Prior to leveling:
Set the park brake.
Place the transmission in neutral.
Front wheels must point straight ahead.
The motorhome must be at ride height
with air tanks full.
Turn off ignition and extend slide-outs.
Leveling Procedure:
Start engine.
Press the
POWER
button on the leveling
control panel to turn the system
ON
. The
Power indicator light will glow solid green.
Press the
AUTO
button to initiate
the leveling process. The indicator
light above Auto will blink and the
motorhome will automatically level
itself. Red lights in the motorhome icon
indicate the motorhome is leveling. The
system measures rear axle, front axle and
longitudinal axis of the chassis to check
for both level and
fl
ex in the motorhome.
When all lights in the motorhome icon
turn solid green, the motorhome is level.
When leveling is achieved, leave the
control panel on and turn ignition
switch off.
