SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
LEVEL BEST CONTROL PANEL
FUNCTIONS
The "ON/OFF" switch (upper left corner)
controls the supply of power for all panel func-
tions, activation of this switch is indicated by its
green indicator light.
The "ALL-UP" (leg retract) switch (lower
left corner) causes all legs to retract to the travel
position. When the retract sequence is completed
the all up light will turn green to indicate that it is
now safe to move the motor home.
The diamond shaped "BI-LEVEL" leveling
switch, located in the center of the panel, acti-
vates the extension of the leveling jacks in pairs.
Use of this switch greatly simplifies the leveling
process and significantly reduces the amount of
stress created by the leveling process on the
motor home. Operation of this switch illuminates
the yellow LED's corresponding to the jacks that
are being activated.
The four "UP/DOWN" switches control the
leveling jacks independently. Activation of this
switch operates the corresponding jack causing it
to retract (UP) or extend (DN) depending upon
the portion of the switch depressed. Operation of
this switch will illuminate the yellow LED corre-
sponding with the jack being activated.
LEVELING AND STABILIZING
YOUR MOTOR HOME
Observing the precautions set forth on the
previous pages of this manual, you are now ready
to begin leveling your motor home. With the
vehicle engine running, place the transmission in
2-14
park and set the parking brake. Securely block
the wheels using wheel chocks.
Locate the "ON/OFF" button on the upper
left of the control panel. Momentarily depress
this switch to activate the leveling system. The
LED will light up and be a steady green, which
indicates that the system is ready. If the LED
lights up and is flashing, it is an indication that
the parking brake is not completely engaged or
the transmission is not in park.
Reference your leveling tool and determine
which corner of the motor home is the lowest.
Now using one of the "BI-LEVEL" switches
which represent the front and rear of the motor
home, (use the switch, which corresponds to the
low end of the motor home), depress and hold the
switch to raise the sides of the motor home until
level. Now find and depress the "BI-LEVEL"
switch which represents the low side of the motor
home, and hold it until the front and rear of the
motor home are level.
Your motor home should now be in a level
plane, if the coach has settled slightly, you should
now fine-tune your position by using the individ-
ual leg leveling switches. Push the "DN" portion
of the switch to raise the vehicle and the "UP"
portion to lower the vehicle.
STABILIZING
To stabilize the vehicle once it has been
leveled, any unused leveler must be extended into
firm contact with the ground. Accomplish this by
using the appropriate individual leg leveling
switch so as not to affect the level of the coach.
CAUTION
Overextending the levelers during
stabilizing will cause the vehicle to
become unlevel and result in a loss of
stability. If a leveler has been overex-
tended, press the up portion of the
respective switch until the vehicle
lowers into the level plane again - do
not attempt to use the other levelers to
raise the vehicle to a higher level
plane.
RETRACTING THE LEVELERS
