10 Hydraulic Leveling System
Warnings and Precautions
• Use the system in the intended manner. System forces and pressures can cause severe injury or death if used improperly or modified. Service work should only be performed by trained technicians.
• Do not attempt to operate the system when the vehicle is in motion.
• Visually confirm that all stabilizer legs are retracted prior to travel.
• The equalizer system is designed to deny extension or retraction if the ignition switch is in the (on) position. If equalizer system is extended and the ignition is turned on it will default and retract automatically.
• Make sure there are no obstructions in the path of the extend or retract paths of the stabilizer unit.
• Do not use the stabilizer legs to lift the unit to perform any kind of service work or to change the legs. The system is designed to stabilize the unit not to lift it off the ground.
• Do not go under vehicle while stabilizer legs are extended.
• Do not operate any system functions while anyone is under the coach.
• Do not allow excessive motion in the coach during stabilizer operation. This could cause the system to stabilize improperly.
• Modification of any factory-supplied item may result in denial of all warranty claims.
Parking the Coach
Care must be taken when selecting a parking spot. Since the system is designated to provide stabilization rather than leveling, park the motorhome on suitably level ground.
• Place the transmission in PARK and set the PARKING BRAKE.
• Prior to ANY system operation, visually confirm that the area above and below the stabilizers is clear of objects and obstructions.
• In order for the slide out(s) and/or stabilizers to extend/retract, turn the ignition key to "ON" to deploy the Slide Out(s) and then to the "OFF" position to deploy the stabilizers.
• Retract the Slide Out(s) and the stabilizers will retract automatically when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position.
Automatic Leveling System Controls
CONTROL PANEL OPERATION
1. Make sure the key is out of the vehicles ignition and Parking Brake is engaged (Figure 89.1).
2. Turn the leveling panel/ system (Figure 89.2) on and let the system run through its diagnostic mode. Lights will flash clockwise around the green foot (System will not operate with the ignition key in the "ON" position.
3. When the lights stop flashing, its time to choose your function (MANUAL or AUTOMATIC). If choosing MANUAL, press and hold button until light comes on. For AUTOMATIC, simply press the button once and release.
4. When in the MANUAL mode, each leveler can be operated individually. FRONT button operates right front leveler. RIGHT button operates right rear leveler. LEFT button operates left front leveler and REAR button operates left rear leveler.
1. When using the MANUAL feature, it is important to level the coach by using two levelers at the same time or together (ie., right front and right rear), this puts less stress on the frame. To retract individually, press and hold the RETRACT button and the jack button. To retract all, press and hold MANUAL until the light goes off, then press RETRACT.
2. When using the automatic feature, simply press the AUTO LEVEL button and then let the system operate itself. It is important at this time that there is NO MOVEMENT IN THE MOTORHOME. This process will take approximately 1-3 minutes. To retract levelers, simply turn the panel on and press RETRACT.
WARNING: Keep in mind the twisting/flexing that is possible to the vehicles frame. Always try to operate jacks in pairs.
