Monaco SIGNATURE 2001 series, Owner'S Manual

Page: 278 / 327

When manually operating the leveling system always lower the front jack
first. The front jack acts as a pivot point for chassis and reduces torsion stress
on the body of the motorhome.
NOTE: In the event the front of the motorhome is high and does not
require elevating it will be necessary to raise front of motorhome a mini-
mum of 1/2 inch to allow jacks to act as a pivot point.
The leveling system was designed to reduce site selection problems. If
possible, park the motorhome with the front facing downhill. If the ground
is soft place a wooden 2 x 8 board under the foot of each jack pad to prevent
sinking.
The front jack will be the pivot point for the chassis and is always low-
ered first. This reduces the torsion stress on the body of the motorhome. The
Bong alarm will activate when any jack is extended more than 2” to 6” from
fully retracted position and will indicate low fluid level for the pump motor.
The Bong alarm may momentarily activate when driving over rough roads,
or negotiating curves and corners. Usually this indicates low fluid level.
NOTE: Air will automatically dump from air bags when leveling cycle
begins. This will lower the motorhome and require less extension by the
jacks. To expedite the air dumping the motorhome is equipped with a
manual air bag release switch located on the dash panel.

• Apply the parking brake.
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
• Engage switch labeled POWER on jack control console.
• Each yellow light and switch combination corresponds to each jack as
positioned on the chassis and is labeled as such.
• To extend a particular jack, push rocker switch to extend the side and
hold until the desired extension is reached.
• To retract a particular jack, simply push rocker switch to the retract posi-
tion and hold until the desired retraction is reached.
• When the yellow light goes off, that particular jack is in the level posi-
tion.
• Turn off the switch labeled POWER on the jack control panel.
