Checking Hydraulic Oil Level

See your HWH 325 Series Leveling System
Operators Manual for complete maintenance in-
structions and information.
All maintenance should be done as part of the
normal servicing of the coach.
The oil level should be checked when the
vehicle is first purchased and then once every two
years. Check more often if there is an oil leak in
the system.
Jacks and Slideout Positions:
To get an accurate indication of oil level, all
leveling Jacks must be UP and slideout rooms
must be in.
Checking Dipstick:
The oil reservoir is part of the pump/manifold
assembly.
The oil level is checked and filled through the
breather cap.
Clear any dirt and debris away from the
breather/filler cap before removing. The oil level
should be between the two marks on the breather
cap dipstick shown in the following illustration.
NOTE: The breather cap is located on the top
side of the power unit reservoir.
13-6
IMPORTANT: Prior to removing the breather
cap, either to check the oil level or to use the
1/4" nut driver, clean any debris from the top of
the reservoir before returning the breather cap to
the reservoir. Remove any paint chips or other
debris from the dipstick including debris inside
the 1/4" nut driver.
NOTE: Overfilling the tank can cause leakage
of oil through the breather cap.
Hydraulic Fluid Recommendation
HWH Specialty Hydraulic Oil is recommend-
ed. In an emergency Dexron automatic transmis-
sion fluid can be used.
DO NOT USE brake fluid or hydraulic jack
fluid. Use of these can damage seals.
NOTE: Dexron automatic transmission fluid
contains red dye and can cause staining
should a leak occur.
