Prior to Leveling
Chassis battery voltage must be at least
12 Volts DC.
Select a level site if possible, or park
the motorhome with the front facing
downhill.
Apply the parking brake. Place the
transmission in Neutral.
CAUTION:
Survey the area around and under
the motorhome for obstructions
that can damage the motorhome or
undercarriage components before
lowering the air suspension. Damage to
the mud flap may occur if it is located
over a raised area.
CAUTION:
Ensure potential jack contact points are
clear of obstruction or depression before
operation. Keep all people clear of the
motorhome during the leveling system
operations. Never expose hands or other
parts of the body near hydraulic leaks.
Hydraulic lines are under high pressure.
Oil leaks may cut and penetrate the skin
causing serious injury.
CAUTION:
Hot asphalt, gravel or dirt may not
support the weight that is placed on
the hydraulic jack pads. Place thick
plywood under the jack pads to help
disperse the weight. If blocking up a
rear jack pad to gain added clearance
when the motorhome is on a slope, place
a wheel chock at the opposite set of rear
wheels to prevent the motorhome from
rolling.

Wood Support Block
NOTE:
If additional height or surface
support is needed, construct a 1' x 1'
wooden block made from two pieces
of ¾" plywood for a total thickness of
1½". Drill hole in corner and use awning
wand to slide wooden block under jack
pad.
Manual Leveling
The manual leveling mode can be used for
leveling or stabilization preference. An indicator
lamp adjacent to an extend switch indicates that
jack position(s) is low.
Manual Leveling Operation:
Follow the instructions in Prior to
Leveling.
Turn the ignition switch to On position.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the
system on.
Press and hold the MAN (manual) button
for five seconds. Once the indicator lamp
below the MAN button illuminates, the
system is ready.

CAUTION:
Prior to leveling the motorhome it is
important that all jacks be in contact
with the ground to stabilize and support
the frame. No single jack should be
solely used to level the motorhome.
Applying an improper leveling process

can cause excess torsion stress and/or
twisting of the chassis, frame and body,
resulting in damage to the windshield or
an entry door malfunction.
Extend the front jack until contact with
the surface is made. Extend an additional
½". This allows the front jack to act as a
pivot point.
Extend the jack position according to the
indicator lamp. Example: If the indicator
lamp is lit under Jack Extend Switch
- Rear, the rear of the motorhome is low.
Press and hold the Rear button. Both rear
jacks will extend. Once level, the system
will automatically stop. The Power Gear
Level Light will illuminate. Release the
switch. Pressing Right or Left will extend
a single rear jack accordingly.
Turn off the remote panel.
Turn off the Ignition switch.
