switch must be in the “ACC” position, and the transmission must be in park.
The parking brake needs to be set and the tires blocked securely.
WARNING
Be sure the ground on which you are parked will support the weight of your unit.
Often material that seems “safe” to level on will not support the weight when
pressed on at the leveling jack points. Use caution when leveling on hot asphalt,
sand, and grass as the weight of the unit may cause the jacks to sink into the
ground. Pads may need to be placed under the jacks to spread the weight over
a larger area. ALWAYS look under your unit prior to leveling to make sure the
jacks are clear of debris and other foreign materials that may interfere with
leveling.
“Air” Leveling
The “Air” leveling system is designed to be used for minor, temporary leveling
of the unit (when overnight camping in a parking lot, for example) for basic
comfort and convenience. Please note that while this will bring the unit to a
“relatively” level stance while on slightly sloped surfaces, it does not deploy
the hydraulic leveling jacks to raise the unit significantly or stabilize the unit
on the ground. As a result, you may still experience some movement of the
coach when walking through it.
To level your unit using the “air” system, be sure the unit is parked securely
and the parking brake is set. Then:
1.
Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” position, and press the “AIR” button
to enter the “Air” leveling mode (“Leveling System Active” light will
glow steadily, and the 4 red “Warning” lights will come on to indicate the
ride height valves have been locked out. NEVER move the vehicle when
these red lights are on!)
2.
Press the “Air” button again, and the Leveling System Active” light will
begin to flash to indicate that leveling has begun. The system will attempt
to level the unit by dumping air individually from the suspension air bags.
The yellow “Level Sensing” lights will go out gradually as the unit
becomes level. When all the yellow “Level Sensing” lights are out,
leveling is complete. The “Leveling System Active” light will begin to
pulsate dimly to indicate the system is in “Sleep” mode. In this mode,
though no lights are visible on the control panel, the system is active, and
will re-check the coaches state of “level” every half hour, re-leveling it as
necessary.
