Check the fluid level monthly. Fill
z
reservoir within ½” of reservoir spout.
Chock a wheel fore and aft for safety.
z
Retract all jacks and slideout rooms.
z
Filling the reservoir with jacks
extended will cause the reservoir to
overflow when jacks are retracted.
Make sure breather cap is free of
z
contamination before removing,
replacing or installing. Do not allow
any contamination into reservoir during
fill process.
Replace the breather cap.
z
Change fluid in reservoir every 36
z
months. It is not necessary to empty the
entire system of fluid. Change only the
fluid in the reservoir.
INFORMATION:
In colder temperatures (less than 10°
F.) the jacks may extend and retract
slowly due to increased viscosity.
Electrical Connections:
Inspect and clean all hydraulic pump
z
electrical connections every 12 months.
If corrosion is evident, spray with
WD-40 or equivalent.
Manual Override
Check the following
items before attempting to
manually retract the jacks.
Engine is running.
z
Transmission is in
z
neutral.
Park brake is applied.
z
15 Amp inline fuse
z
next to hydraulic pump
tests good.
If after verifying these conditions and the
jacks will not retract, the jacks can be retracted
manually. It will be necessary to access the
hydraulic pump and control valves.
CAUTION:
Do not continue to run the hydraulic
motor if the jacks do not retract.
Damage to the motor can occur.
Control Valve Identification:
Each control valve operates a designated jack
identified by the color of wire to the control
valve:
Green wire is the front jack.
z
Red wire is the right rear jack.
z
Blue wire is the left rear jack.
z
NOTE:
Jack control valve location in the
manifold will vary slightly depending
on number of slideout rooms operated
by the hydraulic system.
Manually Retracting the Jacks:
Turn off disconnect switches to chassis
z
and house batteries.
Locate respective control valve per
z
corresponding jack.
Insert 1/8” Allen wrench into control
z
valve and turn inwards (clockwise).
NOTE:
Some control valves have a knurled
knob instead of an Allen socket.
Access manual drive coupler on motor
z
located beneath label or plug.
Attach a standard hex bit into an angle
z
drill.
Insert bit into drive motor coupler.
z
Run drill counterclockwise to retract.
z
When the jack is retracted, turn control
z
valve(s) outward (counterclockwise) to
lock jack in up position.
Turn on both chassis and house
z
disconnect switches.
Take the motorhome to an authorized
z
repair center.
