HYDRAULIC LEVELING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Controls for the leveling system are located in the
driver's compartment. A detailed operating and
maintenance guide is included in your Owner's
Information Package. Read all instlUctions for
this systeni carefully before operating the system.
WARNING
The leveling system is designed as a leveling system
only. Do not use the system as a jack or with a jack.
Do not attempt to raise the tires off the ground. The
system should be used to raise the recreational vehi-
cle to the lowest level position possible.
POWER ENTRY STEP
(If Equipped)
The power entry step is controlled by the igni-
tion switch and by a switch near the entry door.
Power for the entry step is supplied by the chas-
sis battery. The battery must be connected for
the step to operate as described below. The step
has a "last out" feature. With the door closed,
the step power switch OFF, turn the ignition
switch ON. The step will retract. Turn OFF the
ignition, open the door and the step will extend
and lock in the OUT position. The step also has
an ignition override feature. If the door is closed
(as though ready to depart) with the step
extended, the step will automatically retract
when the engine ignition is switched ON. This
prevents driving with the step extended. The
switches operate the step according to the
following table.
WARNING
Under certain conditions, the step may not extend
using the last-out feature. Always look and be sure the
step is extended before exiting the motor home.
WARNING
If door is opened and closed without allowing the step
to fully extend and lock in the out position, the step will
retract and lock in the up position.
Refer to the power step Owner's Manuai'in your
Owner's Information Package for details on
