2013 King Aire Diesel Pusher

Your King Aire is equipped with a combination of air and hydraulic leveling jacks. There are four
hydraulic jacks, and they always operate in pairs: front, right side, left side, and rear. Before
extending, the engine must be off, the ignition 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.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that you read the detailed operating directions in the “HWH Operators Guide” prior
to operating the leveling systems on your new King Aire). The Operators Guide was provided in the
literature bags with your unit at the time of delivery.
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.
“Hydraulic” Leveling
The hydraulic portion of the leveling system uses four hydraulic jacks to level the unit. Because
the weight of the unit is on the jacks, and they are in physical contact with the ground, the unit is
much more stable and does not shake or move when walking inside it. Additionally, the hydraulic
system has a greater range of leveling, allowing it to provide greater leveling capability should
you encounter camp sites with substantial slope.
1.
Make sure the motorhome is securely parked, and the set the parking brake.
2.
With the ignition key in the “ACC” position, press the “LEVEL” button. The light will come
on and glow steadily.
3.
Once you are certain the leveling area beneath the unit is clear of obstructions, press the
“LEVEL” button a second time to begin the automatic hydraulic leveling process. The light
will begin flashing and the leveling cycle will begin. The system will dump the air out of the
air bags and deploy the jacks to level the unit.
4.
To retract the jacks, start the engine and press the “STORE” button. Allow the system to
completely raise the jacks and turn itself off.
