SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING

LEVELING SYSTEM

The leveling system makes selecting a parking
site easier and faster by reducing the effect of
uneven ground.
Hydraulic jacks raise the affected low corners
of the coach to make leveling "set up" faster and
easier for you.
The leveling system control panel is located in
the dash area.
Leveling System Control Panel
See the Leveling System Operator Manual
in your InfoCase for complete operating
instructions. It also contains additional
precautions, technical information, and
instructions for manual operation if a system
failure occurs.
NOTE: When parking at an uneven site, always
park the front of the motor home to the
downhill side. This allows you to level by
raising the front end rather than the rear.
Since only the rear wheels are locked
while in PARK, raising either one or both
of the rear wheels off the ground could
allow the vehicle to roll off the jacks.

WARNING
• Keep all people clear of the coach
while the leveling system is operating.
• When extending the rear stabilizers,
do not lift the wheels beyond ground
contact. This makes it possible for the
vehicle to roll unexpectedly forward (or
backward) off the jacks. This could
cause severe injury or death.
• Do not use the levelers on icy or slick
surfaces on which the foot pads may
slip.
• Do not use leveling jacks to support
the vehicle for service or tire changing.
• Do not use the leveler as an
emergency brake. They are not
designed for any type of vehicle
braking purpose.
• Never check for hydraulic fluid leaks
using your hands and/or any other
body part. The leaking fluid is under
pressure and is capable of cutting and
penetrating your skin, resulting in
severe injury.
Auto Level Remote Switches
–If Equipped
In addition the dash control panel, your coach
may be equipped with two remote switches for
your leveling convenience.
