CAUTION:
Hot asphalt, gravel or dirt may not support the weight that is
placed on the hydraulic jack pads. Place thick plywood under
the jack pads to help disperse the weight. If the motorhome is
on a slope when blocking up a rear jack pad to gain added
clearance, place a wheel chock at the opposite set of rear
wheels to prevent the motorhome from rolling.
Leveling System Safety Features:
The leveling system has safety features to prevent a jack from extending
during travel. The control panel will not activate until these safety features are
in place.
• Turn the ignition switch to the On or ACC position.
• Place the transmission in Neutral.
• Apply the parking brake.
Warning Features Include:
• A warning system consisting of flashing lights and a bong alarm when the system is on or a
jack is down or extended more than two to six inches from the fully retracted position.
• The bong alarm may activate momentarily when driving over rough roads, or negotiating
curves and corners. Usually this indicates a low fluid level in the reservoir.
WARNING:
Ensure the potential jack contact points are clear of obstructions or depressions
before operation. Keep all people clear of the motorhome during the leveling proce-
dure. Never expose hands or other parts of the body near hydraulic leaks.
Hydraulic lines are under high pressure. Oil leaks may cut and penetrate the skin
causing serious injury.
Extending the Leveling Jacks
• Select a level site if possible. If the site is not level, select another site or park the
motorhome with the front facing downhill.
• Place the gear selector in Neutral.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Turn the ignition switch to the
ON
or
ACC
position, do not start the engine.
• With the ignition on, press and hold the Air Dump switch to lower the suspension. This
reduces the amount the jack will need to extend before making contact with the surface.
CAUTION:
Damage to the mud flap may occur if it is located over a raised area when suspen-
sion is lowered.
