MAINTENANCE

In general, to insure the smooth operation of the leveling 
system, it is a good idea to occasionally check the individual 
leveling units to prevent problems.  This is especially true 
under the unusual conditions stated in the following:                                        

If driving conditions are unusually muddy, the units may
become caked or clogged with mud.  This condition may 
hamper the proper operation of the leveling system.  This 
problem may be prevented or remedied by cleaning off each 
leveling unit if they become excessively muddy.                                                   

In wet or icy weather leveling units may become encrusted 
with ice.  This may cause the leveling system to function 
improperly.  To eliminate this problem, periodically check the 
leveling units and break loose any ice which may be causing 

Do not move the trailer while the leveling units are still in

All major components of the system can be replaced

with rebuilt units or can be sent to HWH CORPORATION to
be rebuilt, when the system is out of warranty.                     

contact with the ground.  Visually check to see if the leveling
units have returned to the STORE/TRAVEL position before
moving the trailer.
