Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Driving with partially filled air bags will create an unsafe environment and can damage your
motor home. Refer to your Chassis Guide for more information on the air bags.
Make sure the chassis air bags are completely filled before driving your motor
home.
Hydraulic Leveling System
For detailed operating and safety information, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
Leveling your motor home is important for the following reasons
 The water drainage systems are designed with proper slope and must be level for
proper operation.
 The appliances perform best when level.
Before operating the leveling system, the motor home:
 Must be parked on a reasonably level surface.
 Must have the parking brake engaged.
 Must have the transmission gear selector in NEUTRAL.
 Engine should not be running
FAILURE TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING
WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH!
 The leveling system is designed only for leveling the unit and should
never be used to provide service for any reason under the motor home
such as changing tires or servicing the system. It is not recommended
that you change a tire yourself.
 Check that potential jack contact locations are clear of obstructions or
depressions.
 Keep people clear of the motor home prior to turning the leveling system
on and while the leveling system is in operation.
 Never expose hands or other parts of the body near hydraulic leaks. High-
pressure oil leaks may cut and penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
 After starting the leveling cycle, it is important that occupants do not
move around in the motor home until the vehicle is level. Failure to re-
main still during the leveling cycle can affect the leveling jack system
sensors.
 Never lift the wheels off of the ground when leveling the motor home.
 Do not move the motor home while the jacks are still in contact with the
ground or extended. Damage to the vehicle could occur.
 Do not rely solely upon warning lights to determine the position of the
leveling jacks. It is the operator’s responsibility to check that all the lev-
eling jacks are fully raised in the travel mode before moving the motor
home.
