CHASSIS
The slight lift experienced during the stabilizing
procedure normally is not sufficient to cause a level
issue for the motor home.
NOTICE
!
Prior to pushing the ‘Auto Level’ button, the operator
must be sure that all persons and objects are clear
of the vehicle. Air will be exhausted from the vehicle
suspension and the vehicle will lower immediately
after the ‘Auto Level’ button is pushed.
WARNING
!
Press the “Auto Level” button one time. After selecting
a reasonably level site and making site will support unit
weight on jacks the Auto Level light will start to flash.
The system will begin to dump air from the vehicle
suspension. After approximately 25 seconds, the leveling
process will begin.
During the Automatic Leveling procedures, pushing
the ‘Auto Level’, ‘Auto Store’ or the ‘Cancel’ button on
the HWH touch panel will stop the automatic leveling
function.
AUTO LEVEL SEQUENCE
During the automatic leveling sequence, after the system
has extended the appropriate jacks to level the vehicle
and has turned the yellow level indicator lights off, the
system will then stabilize the vehicle.
PROBLEM: EXCESS SLOPE
In the event the jacks are unable to level the coach, the
“Excess Slope” light will come on... Retract the jacks and
move the vehicle to a more level position or level the
vehicle as close as possible according to the Manual
Hydraulic Operation section.
AUTOMATIC JACK RETRACTION
Start the engine and press the “Auto Store” button. The
store indicator light will flash. The vehicle should start to
return to proper ride height. The front jacks will retract for
5 seconds before the rear jacks will begin to retract. As
each jack retracts, its red “Warning” light will go out. The
system will automatically shut down 1 minute after the four
individual red “Warning” lights are out.
Do not move the vehicle while the leveling jacks
are still in contact with the ground or in the extend
position. This vehicle is equipped with straight-
acting jacks. Moving the vehicle with the leveling
jacks extended can cause severe damage to the
jacks and/or the vehicle and create a driving hazard.
Do not rely solely upon warning lights. It is the
operator’s responsibility to check that all jacks are
fully retracted into the store/travel position and the
vehicle is at the proper ride height for traveling.
WARNING
!
The vehicle can be moved as soon as the red warning
lights are out, the jacks are in the Store/Travel position
and the green “Travel” light is on, if the vehicle is at the
proper ride height for traveling.
It is important to allow the HWH leveling system
to run the complete cycle and turn itself off when
operating in store mode. The system will completely
retract the jacks and turn itself off. If the system is
turned off prior to the automatic shut off, there is
a chance the jacks have not fully retracted. Also,
visually inspect the jacks prior to departure to ensure
they have fully retracted and the underside of your
unit is ready for travel.
IMPORTANT
!

Maintain adequate clearance in all directions for vehicle,
room extensions, awnings, doors, steps, etc. Vehicle

retracting, settling of the jacks or the vehicle, equipment
malfunction, etc.
If parking on soft ground or asphalt paving, a wood block
or pad should be placed under each jack.

at any time to stop the operation of the system.
Any time a hydraulic leveling process is interrupted, it is
recommended to retract the jacks according to the jack
retraction section and then restart the leveling process.
