Checking Hydraulic Oil Level (Hwh ) - Winnebago Tour 2014 Owner's Manual

SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
Breather/Fill Cap
Hydraulic Oil Reservoir
(Located beneath entrance step)
-Typical View
NOTE: Only fill the hydraulic reservoir with the
jacks in the retracted (UP) position.
Adding fluid with the jacks in any other
position will cause fluid to leak through
the breather/fill cap.
Hydraulic Fluid Recommendation
The leveling system is filled from the factory
with AW-22S synthetic hydraulic oil that has
been specially formulated for use in the leveling
system and that is compatible with Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF).
DO NOT USE brake fluid or hydraulic jack
oil, which can damage the seals and cause leaks.
Further Information
For replacement fluids, see the manufacturer's
recommendation in the leveling system operation
manual provided in your InfoCase.

®
See the Leveling System Operator's Manual
in your InfoCase for complete maintenance
instructions and information.
All maintenance should be done as part of the
normal servicing of the coach.
10-16
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.
The hydraulic pump is located under the
entrance step. Lift up step cover and remove
storage bin (if equipped) to access.
Jacks and Slideout Positions
To get an accurate indication of oil level:
• Leveling Jacks must be UP
• Slideout Rooms must be IN
Checking Dipstick
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.
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 oil level should be between the two marks
on the breather cap dipstick shown in the
following photo.
