CHASSIS INFORMATION — 10

207

Prior to Leveling

Chassis battery voltage must be at least

12 Volts DC.

Select a level site if possible, or park

the motorhome with the front facing

downhill.

Apply the parking brake. Place the

transmission in Neutral.

Lower the air suspension (if applicable)

by stepping on the brake several times

until system air pressure is below 60

psi. With the ignition on, push and

hold the Air Dump switch to lower the

suspension. This reduces the amount the

jack will need to extend before making

contact with the surface.

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

the mud flap may occur if it is located

over a raised area.

CAUTION

Ensure potential jack contact points are

clear of obstruction or depression before

operation. Keep all people clear of the

motorhome during the leveling system

operations. Never expose hands or other

parts of the body near hydraulic leaks.

Hydraulic lines are under high pressure.

Oil leaks may cut and penetrate the skin

causing serious injury.

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.

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.

Manual Leveling

The manual leveling mode can be used for

leveling or stabilization preference. An indicator

lamp adjacent to an extend switch indicates that

jack position(s) is low.

Manual Leveling Operation:

Follow the instructions in Prior to

Leveling.

Turn the ignition switch to On position.

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the

system on.

Press and hold the MAN (manual) button

for ve seconds. Once the indicator lamp

below the MAN button illuminates, the

system is ready.

CAUTION

Prior to leveling the motorhome it is

important that all jacks be in contact

with the ground to stabilize and support

the frame. No single jack should be

solely used to level the motorhome.

Applying an improper leveling process

can cause excess torsion stress and/or

twisting of the chassis, frame and body,

resulting in damage to the windshield or

an entry door malfunction.

Extend the front jack until contact with

the surface is made. Extend an additional

½". This allows the front jack to act as a

pivot point.
