downhill. If additional height or surface support is needed, construct 1' x 1' wooden blocks
made from two pieces of ¾" inch plywood for a total thickness of 1 ½" inches. Drill a hole in
one end, and use the awning hook to slide the block under the jack pad.
CAUTION: Ensure the potential jack contact points are clear of obstructions or
depressions before operation. Keep all people clear of the motorhome during the
leveling system operations. Never expose hands or other parts of the body near
hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic lines are under high pressure. Oil leaks may cut and
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
CAUTION: Damage to the mud flap may occur if it is located over a raised area
when suspension is lowered. DO NOT move the motorhome while jacks are in
contact with the ground or extended. Damage to the jacks may occur. DO NOT
use jacks to raise wheels off the ground. Damage to the motorhome may occur.
Prior to Leveling
• Park the motorhome on a reasonably level firm surface.
• Lower the air suspension by stepping on the brake several times until system air
pressure is below 60 psi. With the ignition on, push and hold the Air Dump
switch to lower the suspension. This reduces the amount the jack will need to
extend before making contact with the surface.
Leveling System Safety Features
The leveling system has safety features to prevent a jack from extending during travel. The
control panel will not activate until these safety features are in place.
• Turn the ignition switch to the Run position.
• Place the transmission in Neutral.
• Apply the parking brake.
To Extend Jacks:
• Turn on the jack control panel.
• To extend the front jack, push the Front Jacks button.
• To extend an individual rear jack, push the corresponding button. To extend
both rear jacks simultaneously, push the Rear Jacks button.
To Retract Jacks:
• All jacks may be retracted by pressing the Retract All Jacks button. Turn off the control
panel to stop retracting jacks.
• Turn OFF the control panel.
• Turn OFF the Ignition switch.
If the jacks fail to extend or retract:
• Apply the Park Brake, turn the Ignition to the Run position and place the transmission in
neutral. Then try to operate the system.
• A fuse may be bad in the Leveling Control Module located in the console next to the
pilot seat.
