“Air” Leveling

The “Air” leveling system is designed to be used for minor, temporary leveling of the unit (when

overnight camping in a parking lot, for example) for basic comfort and convenience. Please note that

while this will bring the unit to a “relatively” level stance while on slightly sloped surfaces, it does not

deploy the hydraulic leveling jacks to raise the unit significantly or stabilize the unit on the ground. As a

result, you may still experience some movement of the coach when walking through it.

“Hydraulic” Leveling

The hydraulic portion of the leveling system uses four hydraulic jacks to level the unit. Because the

weight of the unit is on the jacks, and they are in physical contact with the ground, the unit is much more

stable and does not shake or move when walking inside it. Additionally, the hydraulic system has a

greater range of leveling, allowing it to provide greater leveling capability should you encounter camp

sites with substantial slope.

Make sure the motorhome is securely parked, and the set the parking brake.

With the ignition key in the “ACC” position, press the “LEVEL” button. The light will come on and

glow steadily.

Once you are certain the leveling area beneath the unit is clear of obstructions, press the “LEVEL”

button a second time to begin the automatic hydraulic leveling process. The light will begin flashing
and the leveling cycle will begin. The system will dump the air out of the air bags and deploy the
jacks to level the unit.

To retract the jacks, start the engine and press the “STORE” button. Allow the system to completely

raise the jacks and turn itself off.

CAUTION

Do not lift the wheels off the ground when leveling. The unit can roll forward or backward when tires are lifted
off the ground. If the “Excess Slope” light is on, the system is sensing that the site is too sloped to allow the
leveling jacks to bring the unit to a comfortable state of level. Great care must be taken when trying to level in
a sloped site to make sure a tire (or tires) is not lifted off the ground. Also, the leveling jacks and support
system should be cycled once a month or whenever the vehicle is used to keep the system in operating
condition.

IMPORTANT

It is important to allow the HWH leveling system to run the complete cycle and turn itself off when operating in
the “store” mode. The system will completely retract the jacks and turn itself off. If the system is turned off prior
to the automatic shut off, there is the potential that the jacks have not fully retracted. Also, be sure to visually
inspect the jacks prior to departure to insure that they have fully retracted and the underside of your unit is
ready for travel.

Security System (optional)

Your King Aire may be equipped with an optional security system. This system uses a variety of sensors

and switches to guard your unit and its contents. When armed, the system protects the entry door, the

battery compartment, and the front generator area. There is also an impact sensor under-dash that will feel

an impact in the front cab area. There are (2) motion sensors, one in the kitchen, and one in the bedroom.
