EXTERIOR FEATURES
Exterior Sides
The exterior sides of this unit are constructed of gel-coated fiberglass. To add
to this feature, the end caps are also gel-coated fiberglass. Clean the fiberglass
material with a mild cleanser and warm water. Use only soft cloths. Using stiff
bristle brushes may cause scratches in the fiberglass surface. Please note,
Newmar is NOT responsible for weathering/oxidation of gel-coated surfaces.
Security Lights (Optional)
Optional are exterior security lights. One or two may be installed on each side
of the coach for added protection. If installed, the switch for these lights may
be located inside the front entrance door.
Jacks
Fifth wheel units may be equipped with 12 volt electrical jacks. As an option,
hydraulic leveling jacks with touch panel control may be installed. Before
using the jacks, read and closely follow the operation instructions provided
by the jack manufacturer. To lift the unit for uncoupling, drop the pad tube
by removing the lock pin. Re-pin the hole that places the foot pad closest
to the ground to compensate for variations in the terrain between the jacks.
Push the toggle switch to the DOWN position and hold until the jack raises
the unit to the desired height.
To raise the jacks after coupling, push the toggle switch to the UP position
and hold until the jacks are fully retracted. Release the toggle switch as the
lock pin in the inner ram tube nears the end of the outside tube to avoid
unnecessary wear on the motor clutch. Remove the lock pins and raise the
pad tubes, re-pinning them in the highest possible position.
CAUTION
When the jacks reach their maximum extended or retracted length or maximum
load, you will hear a clicking noise. This is the slip clutch built into the motor to
prevent jack overextension or retraction. Release the toggle switch as soon as
you hear the clicking. Continued operation with the clutch slipping can damage
the jacks.
