SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
WARNING
Keep all people clear of the coach
while the leveling system is operat-
ing.
Do not use leveling jacks to support
vehicle for service or tire changing.
NOTE: If one of the leveling jacks should fail to
retract, it can be manually retracted by
opening a valve on the hydraulic pump.
The jacks are spring loaded to retract
when hydraulic line pressure is relieved.
See the HWH Operator's Manual includ-
ed in your InfoCase for specific instruc-
tions on which valve to open and what
precautions to follow. The hydraulic
pump is mounted between the front chas-
sis frame extensions just behind the front
bumper of the coach.

CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle with the
Auto/Manual position. Damage to
suspension components could result.
NOTE: Automatic leveling is deactivated when
the ignition is switched off, so the coach
may appear "jacked up" in the rear un-
der certain circumstances. This is not a
malfunction and should be no cause for
alarm. When the vehicle is restarted, the
automatic leveling system will immedi-
ately correct this situation.

Park & Level
System
The Park & Level system incorporates elec-
tronic air distribution controls for vehicle level-
ing purposes. It allows air spring pressure to be
manually adjusted up-and-down or side-to-side
to simulate the function of a hydraulic leveling
system. This provides the vehicle owner with a
reasonable degree of flexibility in parking/camp-
ing site selection.
TM
Park & Level
Controls
The Park & Level control panel is located at
the lower left-hand side of the dash. It contains 3
rocker switches, a compressor indicator light;
and a manual mode warning light.
Leveling
Press the mode switch to "Manual". A red
warning light will illuminate to indicate that the
leveling feature is activated. Level the vehicle by
operating the level switches.
· When raising the rear of the vehicle, operate
both springs at the same time to provide max-
imum lifting power.
· When parked on a side hill, raise both springs
as mentioned above, then lower the spring on
the "uphill" side until the vehicle is level.
