For vehicle specific jacks, contact HWH Corporation for mounting and clearance dimensions or drawings of specific jacks. If needed, jacks with different mounting dimensions and spring arrangements may be available.

9.) Does the vehicle have a good set of batteries that are fully charged? IMPORTANT: Jacks used with 625 or 625S series leveling systems need a pressure switch on each jack. Generic jack kits may not come equipped with pressure switches. Make sure the appropriate jack pressure switches have been ordered and are present for the installation.

SECTION II 625/625S SERIES LEVELING SYSTEMS COMPONENT INSTALLATION Vehicles with spring suspensions. The ground clearances listed in the Dimension Charts apply to vehicles with a full load of fuel, water and equipment. If the vehicle is empty, typically 1 inch should be added to the listed dimensions. Also, if the vehicle is new, the vehicle may settle down 3/4 of an inch or more in the first year or 10,000 miles.

Connect welding ground to part being welded. NEVER weld to suspension parts such as spring shackles. NEVER weld across the bottom flange of the frame rail. Brackets should be located near a cross member. For additional information on the vehicle, chassis, brackets, and mounting location, contact the vehicle’s builder, the chassis or suspension supplier, or HWH Corporation. WARNING: THERE MAY BE FUEL LINES OR WIRE INSIDE THE FRAME RAIL.

Mounting brackets and jacks should be bolted using hardware supplied by HWH Corporation. Make sure all bolts are properly tightened. A minimum of grade 5 bolt should be maintained if substituting for hardware supplied by HWH Corporation. Any flat and/or lock washers must be used when supplied in hardware kits.

SECTION II 625/625S SERIES LEVELING SYSTEMS COMPONENT INSTALLATION The air bags can be deflated by disconnecting the air line that goes from the height control valve to the air bag. The best access to accomplish this is probably at the height control valve. The air dump solenoid valve tees in between the height control valve and the air bag.
Page 14
SECTION II 625/625S SERIES LEVELING SYSTEMS COMPONENT INSTALLATION The clear control box cover must be removed to program the sensing unit. Program the sensing unit as follows: Direction: Glass cover pointed to the "North" - move JP2 only. Glass cover pointed to the "South" - move JP1 and JP2.

HWH procedures must be followed when swaging hose. Crimping of hose ends is not allowed. Contact HWH Corporation or refer to ML24976 under "Information Bulletins" on the HWH web site for hose swaging information.
Page 16
HOSE ROUTING FOR KICK-DOWN JACKS JACK PRESSURE SWITCH INSTALLATION KICK DOWN JACKS: 6000# KICK DOWN JACK- A short hose is attached to the jack at the factory. The hose is clamped to the pivot bracket. It can be moved to the opposite side of the jack if necessary to avoid heat sources or other obstacles.

We do not suggest altering harness lengths. The touch panel harness must never be altered for any reason. If a different length touch panel harness is needed, contact HWH Corporation. If you choose to alter the length of other HWH harnesses, all connections should be soldered and then protected with a glue filled shrink tube.

SECTION II 625/625S SERIES LEVELING SYSTEMS COMPONENT INSTALLATION 8.) PARK BRAKE/JACK INHIBIT CIRCUIT IMPORTANT: The park brake circuit inhibits the system from extending the jacks while the vehicle is moving. It is important that the park brake circuit is installed as explained. It is also important that the correct function of the park brake circuit is checked before the installation is completed.
Page 19
SECTION II 625/625S SERIES LEVELING SYSTEMS COMPONENT INSTALLATION 9.) MASTER WARNING LIGHT/BUZZER INSTALLATION A MASTER JACKS DOWN WARNING LIGHT SHOULD BE USED WITH ALL SYSTEMS. A BUZZER MUST BE USED WITH SYSTEMS USING STRAIGHT-ACTING JACKS. The master warning light and buzzer will warn the driver that one or more jacks are extended slightly (straight-acting jacks) or in the vertical position (kick-down jacks) with the ignition on.
Page 20
WHEN THE PARK BRAKE IS RELEASED. 625 system park brake test. Turn the ignition switch to the "ACC" position. Make sure the park brake is set. Push the "I" / "HYD" button. The on light above the button should come on. The "NOT IN PARK / BRAKE" light should not be on. Push on the foot brake so the vehicle can’t roll, then release the park brake.

SECTION III 625/625S SERIES LEVELING SYSTEMS SYSTEM START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS Straight-acting jacks; 625S single step leveling system. Make sure the ignition is in the "ACC" position and the park brake is set. Push and release the front UP ARROW at 5 second intervals until both front jacks reach the ground and lift the vehicle 1 or 2 inches.

SECTION III 625/625S SERIES LEVELING SYSTEMS SYSTEM START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS 2. 9000# JACKS: If the jack stopped short of being vertical it can be adjusted by loosening the lower actuator nut and tightening the upper actuator nut. If the jack goes past vertical, loosen the upper actuator nut and tighten the lower actuator nut.
