CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL
LEVEL
See the Leveling System Operators Manual in
your InfoCase for complete maintenance
instructions and information.
All maintenance should be done as part of the
normal servicing of the coach.
The hydraulic oil level should be checked
when the vehicle is first purchased, and then
twice a year - or more often if an oil leak develops
in the system.
Checking Dipstick
-If Equipped
The hydraulic oil level is checked with a
dipstick built into the breather/filler cap on top of
the oil reservoir, which is part of the hydraulic
pump/manifold assembly.
10-10
If your leveling system reservoir is not
equipped with a dipstick, always keep the
hydraulic fluid level full (to the bottom of the fill
port).
NOTE: Always clean away any dirt and debris
from the top of the reservoir before
removing the breather cap to avoid entry
of debris and contamination of hydraulic
oil in the reservoir, which could lead to
pump failure or other problems.
The fluid level should be 3/4" onto the
dipstick (on models so equipped) shown in the
following illustration.

NOTE: Overfilling the hydraulic reservoir can
cause leakage of oil through the breather
cap.
Hydraulic Fluid Recommendation
®
Dexron III or Mercon
transmission fluid is recommended for use in
your leveling system.
DO NOT USE brake fluid or hydraulic jack
oil, which can damage the seals and cause leaks.
