LEVELING - AIR /HYDRAULIC (Optional)
The air/hydraulic leveling control touchpad is
located on the roadside console. This computer
controlled system can operate automatically or
manually to adjust the hydraulic jacks when
leveling the motorhome. For air leveling, tag
axle and travel mode information, see the “Air
Leveling” article.
CAUTION:
Leveling jacks are not designed
for changing tires. This can cause
problems with the suspension system,
frame alignment and damage to the
windshields. Never use the jacks to
elevate any wheel position off the
ground.
Hydraulic Automatic Leveling
Prior to leveling:
Set park brake.
Place transmission in neutral.
Ensure front wheels are pointing
straight ahead.
Have motorhome at ride height with air
tanks full.
Turn off ignition and extend slide-outs.
CAUTION:
Hot asphalt, gravel or dirt may not
support the weight that is placed on the
hydraulic jack pads. Place thick plywood
under the jack pads to help disperse
the weight. If blocking up a rear jack
pad to gain added clearance when the
motorhome is on a slope, place a wheel
chock at the opposite set of rear wheels to
prevent the motorhome from rolling.
CAUTION:
Survey the area around and under the
motorhome for obstructions that can
damage the motorhome or undercarriage
components before lowering the air
suspension. Damage to mud flap may
occur if it is located over a raised area.
CAUTION:
Ensure the potential jack contact points
are clear of obstructions or depressions
before operation. Keep all people clear
of the motorhome during the leveling
system operations. DO NOT expose
hands or body near hydraulic leaks.
Hydraulic lines are under high pressure.
Oil leaks may cut and penetrate skin
causing serious injury.
NOTE:
If additional height or surface support is
needed, construct a 1
'
x 1
'
wooden block
made from two pieces of ¾
"
plywood
for a total thickness of 1½
"
. Drill hole
in corner and use awning wand to slide
wooden block under jack pad.
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 and release
HYD
. The indicator
light above will blink.
