CAUTION:
Several inches of unobstructed downward travel is required when using the leveling
system. Look underneath the motorhome for obstacles that could damage undercarriage
components before using the leveling system. Do not move the motorhome when manual or
automatic leveling mode is set. Suspension and body damage may result.
WARNING:
Never engage the leveling system when anybody is located near or underneath the
motorhome. Serious injury or death can occur.
Automatic Air Leveling Procedure:
• Set the parking brake and start the engine. The ignition must be ON to operate the leveling system.
Ensure the front wheels are pointing straight ahead. Allow the air system to build to full air pressure,
approximately 130 psi. The leveling system operates more effi ciently using the high-idle feature.
• Press the AIR button once to turn the leveling system on. The Air indicator light and four red warning
lights will glow steady.
• Press the AIR button a second time. The Air indicator light will start fl ashing and automatic leveling will
begin. The system will level only when a yellow side or end light illuminates.
• When all yellow lights are out, the leveling process is complete. The air indicator light will fl icker. The
engine may now be turned off.
The air indicator light will initially fl icker for about ten minutes. After ten minutes, the Air indicator light will
go out. The system is in “sleep” mode. The system will awaken at approximately 30 minute intervals to check the
level sensing inputs. If the system detects a continuous off-level condition from a sensing input for one minute,
the system will try to lower the opposite end/side in an attempt to level the motorhome. If the end/side is at its
lowest point of travel, the system compressor will activate to infl ate the air spring at the low end/corner and level
the motorhome. This process will continue until
Emergency Stop
is pressed or the parking brake is released with
the ignition in the ON position.
NOTE:
If the system is turned off the processor will not make any adjustments and an off level
condition may occur over time.
Excess Slope:
If the system was unable to level motorhome after approximately 15 to 18 minutes, one or two yellow Level
indicator lights will remain on and the Excess Slope light will illuminate. The system will remain on, but will not
go into Sleep Mode. It is recommended to select another site.
Preparation for Travel:
• Follow the procedures listed for Retracting the Slide-out Rooms in
Section 5
.
• Start the engine and allow the air system to fully pressurize (approximately 135 psi).
• Press the
Travel Mode
button or release the parking brake. The leveling system will automatically
disengage. Before travel, the Master Warning lamp must be off and the Travel indicator light must be
on. After the leveling system is set to travel mode, it takes about one minute for the suspension system
to have suffi cient air for travel.
DO NOT
solely rely upon the warning lights to indicate that motorhome
suspension is ready for travel.
System Air Compressor:
Should air pressure in the leveling system drop below approximately 90 psi when in Auto-Level mode, a small
air compressor provides the leveling system with air pressure. This compressor requires no maintenance.
