TOWING & HANDLING

The monitor is operational whenever the
engine is running. To use the monitor, flip the
switch from standby to ON (the monitor will
also work when with the RV is in “reverse”
and the monitor in standby). Make sure you
turn the monitor to standby while driving to
avoid being distracted.

Never operate the rear vision monitor in the
ON position for extended periods of time as
this may result in an "image burn" on the
monitor.

Before operating the hydraulic leveling jack
system:

Park the RV on reasonably solid surface
or jacks may sink into the ground. On
extremely soft surfaces use load
distribution pads under each leveling jack.

Check that potential jack contact locations
are clear of obstructions or depressions.

Keep people clear of the RV prior to
turning the leveling system ON and while
the leveling system is in operation.

Engage the parking brake.

Make sure the transmission gear selector
is engaged in NEUTRAL or PARK.

The engine must be running for the
leveling system to operate.

The following label should be kept
permanently affixed by the leveling jack
control panel located in the command center:

To manually override

Before attempting to override the semi-
automatic hydraulic leveling system ensure
the area around the RV is clear of others,
including children and pets. In the event the
hydraulic leveling jack control panel will not
retract the jacks, the jacks can be retracted
using the auxiliary valves at the hydraulic
pump connection (refer to the OEM manual).

Storage

When storing the RV, it is recommended the
jacks be stored in the retracted position (the
OEM requires the jacks be cycled
periodically). If the jacks must be stored in the

After starting the leveling cycle it is
very important you or other occupants
do not move around in the RV until the
vehicle is level. Failure to remain still
during the leveling cycle can affect the
leveling jack system sensors.

Do not move the RV while the jacks
are still in contact with the ground or
extended. Damage to the vehicle could
occur.

Do not attach any item to any leveling
jack foot or use wood blocks or pads
under the leveling jacks as doing so
will affect the leveling system
performance and may damage the
leveling jack system.

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 leveling jacks are
fully raised in the travel mode before
moving the RV.

Use extreme caution when overriding
the hydraulic leveling jack pump.
Ensure that no one becomes trapped
under the RV or by the entrance steps
(if extended). It is highly recommended
you have someone assist you.

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.

Never lift the wheels off the ground
when leveling the motorhome.
