panel power switch on. If any levelers are
extended, the control panel will emit a warn-
ing beep and the red "ALL UP" LED will
light up and flash.
2. To retract all levelers simultaneously, press
the "ALL UP" switch. To retract each leveler
individually, press and hold the "UP" side of
the respective leg switch. Using the "ALL
UP" switch is the recommended method of
retracting the levelers to assure even retrac-
tion at all four leveler locations and elimi-
nate the possibility of twisting the chassis
frame.
3. When all leveler legs retract to the travel
position, the red "ALL UP" LED will turn
green, and the pump will shut off. You can
now turn off the power switch and the vehi-
cle is ready to travel.
NOTE: When parking at an uneven site, always
park the front of the motor home to the
downhill side. This allows you to level by
raising the front end rather than the rear.
Since only the rear wheels are locked
while in PARK, raising the rear wheels
off the ground could allow the vehicle to
roll off the jacks.
WARNING
Keep all people clear of the coach
while the leveling system is operat-
ing.
Do not use the leveling jacks to sup-
port vehicle for service or tire chang-
ing.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: To prevent the possibility of damaging
the leveler(s) and/or the vehicle, it is
good common sense to confirm the
retracted position by visual inspection.
The Level Best hydraulic leveling system
should be routinely checked as part of a regular
periodic vehicle maintenance program. Kwikee
recommends checking the system twice a year; in
the spring prior to the heavy travel season and in
the winter, prior to storage. The following check-
list has been provided as a guideline for mainte-
nance.
NOTE: During periods of vehicle inactivity and/
or storage, the leveling system should be
activated and cycled through the level-
ing/retracting procedures on a monthly
basis to keep the levelers in good operat-
ing condition.
1. Be sure the leveling jacks are in the retracted
position, remove the breather cap on the res-
ervoir and check the fluid level in the reser-
voir. The fluid level should be approximately
1" below the top of the reservoir. This stan-
dard provides an adequate amount of fluid
for the levelers to operate efficiently.
If the fluid is below this level, add a sufficient
amount to bring the level up to the operating
standard. When filling the reservoir with
fluid, use transmission fluid only. We recom-
mend Dexron III; do not mix fluids.
2. Check the wire connections at the motor and
valve manifold; these should be tight and
secure.
3. Check the valve manifold for any evidence
of hydraulic fluid leakage. Replace any seals
as necessary.
4. Examine the hydraulic hoses for any damage
and/or leakage. Replace and resecure as nec-
essary.
5. Check the hydraulic cylinders and leg
assemblies for any damage and/or leakage.
Replace and/or repair as necessary. Verify
that all mounting bolts have been tightened
to 80 ft./lbs.
