SHock aBSorBer

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

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.
