LEVELING SYSTEM
(If Equipped) Controls for the leveling system are located in the
driver's compartment. A detailed operating and
maintenance guide is included in your Owner's
Information Package. Read all instructions for
this system carefully before operating the system.
!
WARNING
The leveling system is designed as a leveling system
only. Do not use the system as a jack or with a jack.
Do not attempt to raise the tires off the ground. The
system should be used to raise the recreational vehi-
cle to the lowest level position possible.
POWER ENTRY STEP
The power entry step is controlled by a magnetic
entry door position switch, the engine ignition
switch and by an override switch located near
the entry door. Power for the entry step is sup-
plied by the chassis battery (or batteries). The
battery system must be connected (battery dis-
connect in the "ON" position) for the entry step
to operate.
The entry step will typically extend and retract
with the opening and closing of the entry door as
controlled by the entry door position switch
(function is automatic). Activating the override
switch will move the entry step to the extended
position, and it will stay there regardless of
whether the door is open or closed. Regardless
of the override switch position, activation of the
ignition key with the entry door closed will
retract the entry step. This helps to prevent inad-
vertently driving off with the entry step
extended. The switches operate the entry step
according to the following table.
!
WARNING
Always look and be sure the step is extended before
entering or exiting the motor home.

ELECTRIC STEPWELL COVER
(If Equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with a elec-
trically operated stepwell cover. The stepwell
cover closes off the stepwell area when you are
traveling. When the cover is extended, it pro-
vides a floor surface.
Stepwell Cover Operation 1. The stepwell cover control is located on the
passenger side of the overhead.
2. To extend the cover, move the control
switch forward.
3. To retract the cover, move the control
switch rearward.
4. The stepwell cover cannot be pushed in
manually to retract. To retract the cover
manually:
a. The clevis on the bottom of the stepwell
cover must be disconnected to manually
retract the cover. This process is
slightly difficult and is best performed
by an authorized Fleetwood RV dealer.
