The shock absorber is a hydraulic
device used to dampen suspension/
body movement. Road surface
irregularities are compensated for by
the shock absorber. The Roadmaster
chassis incorporates the Monroe shock
in the design of the exclusive air glide
suspension system. This shock absorber
is a telescopic, mono tube unit filled with
nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil. The result
of the mixture is uninterrupted damping
for the smallest of wheel deflection.
By design, a self lubricating seal is used
which will allow approximately 10% of the
total oil capacity to pass onto the piston rod.
The gradual process of oil loss does not affect
the performance of the shock absorber during
the service life. This process will be evident
after a long period of service by an oil film on
the body of the shock absorber. The appearance
of a coating or film on the body or rod is
completely normal, it is an indication the shock
is functioning normally.
Road holding, handling, balance and braking
characteristics all can be contributed to the
shock absorber. The operating conditions for
which the shock absorber must endure will
determine the life span. However, since the
only moving part is the piston rod, there are no
springs, hinges or pins to wear out, get weak or
deteriorate.
levelIng - HyDraUlIc
The leveling system is designed to reduce sight
selection problems and stabilize the motorhome
when parked. The leveling system features a
remote control panel (located near the pilot seat).
The multiple warning system that consists of a
Jacks Down LED and warning alarm if a jack is
down and the transmission is placed in gear or
the park brake is released. The leveling system
can be operated in manual or automatic modes.
Safety Features:
The leveling system has safety features to
prevent a jack from extending during travel. The
control panel will not activate until the following
safety features are in place.
The transmission is in Neutral.
The parking brake is applied.
The ignition switch is in the On position.
Remote:
The remote control panel includes four
switches that operate all the jacks, an Auto
switch, a MAN (manual) switch, a retract All
Jacks switch and a power
ON
/
OFF
switch. A
LED light next to a directional button indicates
that position is low.
Indicator Lamps:
MAN
– Indicates system is in manual
level mode.
AUTO
– Initiates Automatic level mode.
ON/OFF
– Turns the leveling system on
or off.
WAIT
- Indicates system is initializing
JACKS DOWN
– Indicates one or more
jack is extended.
LOW VOLTAGE
– Indicates chassis
voltage is low.
ENGAGE PARK BRAKE
– Indicates
the Park Brake is disengaged.
The LED adjacent to any extend switch
indicates that position is low.
CAUTION
The leveling jacks are not designed
for changing tires. Using the jacks
to elevate any wheel position off the
ground will cause problems with the
suspension system, frame alignment
and damage to the windsheild.
CAUTION
DO NOT move the motorhome while
the jacks are still in contact with the
ground or extended. Damage to the
jacks can occur.
