The Level Best hydraulic leveling system should be routinely checked as part of a
regular vehicle maintenance program. Kwikee recommends checking the system twice
a year: in the spring prior to the heavy travel season and in the winter, prior to storage.
The following checklist has been provided as a guideline for maintenance.
1.
Be sure the leveling jacks are in the retracted position. Remove the breather cap
on the reservoir and check the fluid level in the reservoir. The fluid level should be
approximately 1" below the top of the reservoir. This standard provides an adequate
amount of fluid for the levelers to operate efficiently. If the fluid is below this level, add a
sufficient amount to bring the level up to the operating standard. When filling the
reservoir, use transmission fluid only. We recommend Dexron III. Do not mix fluids.
2. Check wire connections at motor and valve manifold; should be tight and secure.
3. Check the valve manifold for any evidence of hydraulic fluid leakage. Replace any
seals as needed.
4. Examine the hydraulic hoses for damage and/or leakage. Replace and resecure as
needed.
5. Check hydraulic cylinders and leg assemblies for damage and/or leakage. Replace
and/or repair as needed. Verify that all mounting bolts have been tightened to 80ft/lbs.
Care and Maintenance
Turn on the coach ignition and press the ON/OFF button on the control. The two top
indicator lights above the right and left front jack buttons will start flashing. The lights
indicate the warm up cycle of the level sensor. Aftr the warm up cycle the lights will stop
flashing. The cycle usually lasts between 2 and 10 minutes depending on outside
temperatures and whether it was previously run. The control will time-out every 60
seconds but the level sensor will continue to go through the warm up cycle anytime the
ignition of the coach is on.
When the warm up cycle is complete, turn off the control by pressing the ON/OFF
button. With the coach in a level attitude press and hold the ALL UP, BI-LEVEL FRONT
and BI-LEVEL REAR buttons simulaneously. You should hear an audible beep. Turn the
control back ‘on’ and all four indicator lights should now be lit indicating the level sensor
is showing the coach to be level. If all four LEDs are not illuminated, repeat last 2 steps.

NOTE: During periods of
vehicle inactivity and/or
storage, the leveling system
should be activated and
cycled through the
leveling/retracting procedures
on a monthly basis to keep
the levelers in good operating
condition.
