LEVELING SYSTEM
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 vehicle to the lowest level
position possible.
3 NOTE
After the leveling system has been deployed verify
that each jack is touching the ground. Manually
deploy jacks that are not touching the ground.
NOTE
3
In the event the leveling system "locks up" and the
key pad is non-operational, cycle the ignition "off to
on" to reset the leveling system. Follow the intructions
from the leveling system supplier to continue.
For operation of the leveling system the
following is required:
• Park the RV on level ground
• Ignition on, engine running
• Transmission in park
• Parking brake set to the engaged position
• Battery Voltage must be 13.0 Vdc or greater
• Do not move around unit while leveling.
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

LIVING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME

(If Equipped)
(If Equipped)
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).
!
WARNING
Always look and be sure the step is extended
before entering or exiting the motor home.
!
WARNING
If door is quickly opened and closed without
allowing the step to fully extend and lock in the
"OUT" position, the step will immediately retract
and lock in the "UP" position.
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 inadvertently driving off with
the entry step extended. The switches operate the
entry step according to the following table.
Refer to the power step Owner's Manual in your
Owner's Information Package for details on
maintenance and lubrication .
