TREK 2005 Equipment --- Section 5 • 185
Hydraulic pressure, in all jacks, is automatically released when the ALL switch is pressed. The jacks
retract by the weight of motorhome and the retract springs on each jack. The bottom green light will
begin blinking and all jacks will retract. This operation is on a four-minute timer. After four minutes, the
green light will stop blinking and go out.
NOTE:
Do not move the motorhome until the jacks are fully retracted. A visual check of the
jacks is recommended to ensure full retraction. Do not rely solely on the lights and
alarms.
The hydraulic pump is located in the roadside generator compartment. The manifold and valve
assembly is mounted on the pump motor, providing access to the manual retract valves.
In case of mechanical or electrical failure that would prevent the leveling jacks from being automatically
retracted, the motorhome is equipped with manual emergency retract valves. The manual retract system
releases fluid that is under pressure in each jack and allows the fluid to return to the reservoir.
WARNING:
The motorhome will raise or lower when the manual retract valves are opened. If it
becomes necessary to manually retract the jacks, do not crawl under the motorhome
to access the valves. Make sure there is sufficient clearance so the valves may be
opened safely.
To Operate the Manual System:
• Turn all three T-handle valves counterclockwise until they stop.
• When the jacks are fully retracted, rotate all the valves fully clockwise. In case one of the
jacks is not holding pressure, one of the manual retract valves may not be fully tightened.
