CHASSIS INFORMATION — 10
NOTE:
A Jacks Down warning light will
illuminate when the jacks are extended.
The alarm will sound if the jacks are
down and the park brake is released or
transmission placed in gear.
The motorhome is level when the LED’s
next to Jack Extend switches are off
and the green Power Gear Level light is
illuminated.
Turn off the remote panel.
Turn off the ignition switch.
NOTE:
If additional height
or surface support is
needed, construct a 1' x
1' wooden block made
from two pieces of ¾"
plywood for a total
thickness of 1½". Drill
a hole in one corner and
use the awning wand to
slide the wooden block
under the jack pad.
Retracting Leveling Jacks
Turn the ignition switch to On or ACC.
Apply the parking brake.
Turn On the remote panel.
Momentarily press the All Jacks Retract
button. If retracting in manual mode, the
All Jacks button must be held until the
Jacks Down LED goes out.
Once the Jacks Down LED goes out, the
jacks should be fully retracted. Visually
inspect to ensure that all jacks have fully
retracted before moving the motorhome.
INSPECTION:
Before moving the motorhome always
perform a visual inspection to ensure all
jacks have fully retracted. Remove any
debris that may be on the jack pad.
If the jacks fail to extend or retract:
Apply the park brake, turn the ignition
to the On or ACC position and place the
transmission in Park.
If jacks still do not operate, check
the leveling system fuse in the front
distribution box.
NOTE:
The hydraulic pump is equipped
with an internal thermal breaker for
protection against overheating. If the
pump is repeatedly used in a short
period of time the breaker will trip and
automatically resets in 5 to 30 minutes.
Drive-Away Protection:
With the jacks extended and the park brake is
released or transmission placed in gear, a warning
alarm will sound and all LEDs will illuminate.
The jacks will automatically retract. A full visual
inspection is required to con
fi
rm full retraction of
jacks before moving motorhome.
Maintenance:
At weekly intervals, use silicone spray
on the jack rod to help prevent moisture
damage to surface of the jack rod. If
parked near coastal areas, apply more
frequently. Occasional oil or grease on
the extended jack rod is normal.
Remove dirt and road debris from the
jacks as needed.
Check the
fl
uid level every month with
all jacks retracted. The
fl
uid level should
begin to
fl
ow from the weep hole.
Inspect and clean all hydraulic pump
electrical connections every 12 months.
For jacks equipped with a grease
fi
tting
at the bottom of the cylinder, two pumps
of grease should be suf
fi
cient for 20 to
30 uses.
DO NOT
over grease. Damage
to the rod seal will occur.
Fluid change
interval is 36
months.
