Step 3 (Pump):

Install the pump kit on the coach. The pump must be mounted in a location that is

reasonable to route all of the hydraulic hoses to the manifold. It must be accessible for filling the

reservoir and monitoring the fill level. Take note if the unit is equipped with the manual override

option. The pump handle, cartridge valves and directional valves must be accessible to manually

override the system. If the pump is equipped with the manual override screw on the end of the motor,

than be sure to allow access to that side of the pump. In most applications, a side storage

compartment will provide the ideal location. An additional mounting box or tray may be used on

other style coaches.

Step 4 (Fittings):

Install the hydraulic adaptor fittings in the top and bottom of each jack and

install the fittings into the manifold. The straight thread o-ring side always goes to the cylinder or

manifold. The tapered side will get the hose attached to it. When installing straight fittings into the

leg or manifold, tighten to 15 lbs-ft. When using 90 degree fittings, turn until finger tight, position

correctly, then tighten the jam nut to 15 lbs-ft.

Step 5 (Hoses):

Install the hydraulic hoses according to the chart below. Route the hoses clear of

all hot exhaust components and pinch points in the suspension/chassis system. Attach the hoses to

the manifold and jack fittings (from step 4). Tighten to 15 lbs-ft. Secure the hydraulic hoses with

wire ties or loom clamps to the chassis.

Care should be taken to not kink or twist hoses. The minimum bend radius is 6 inches.
