SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
LEVELING SYSTEM (AIR AND
HYDRAULIC)
–If Equipped
NOTE: See the Leveling System Operation
Guide provided in your InfoCase for
complete operating instructions. It also
contains additional precautions,
technical information, and instructions
for manual operation if a system failure
occurs.
The Leveling System makes selecting a
parking site easier and faster by reducing the
effect of uneven ground.
Hydraulic jacks raise the affected low corners
of the coach to make leveling “set up” faster and
easier for you.
Air Leveling uses the chassis air suspension to
level the coach. To lower the coach, air is
released from the suspension air bags. To raise
the coach, air is added to the suspension air bags.
Before using the Air Leveling feature, be
sure to read the Air Leveling System Operator’s
Manual provided in your InfoCase.
The Leveling System Control Panel is located
on the driver side trim panel.
NOTE: When parking at an uneven site, always
park the front of the vehicle to the
downhill side. This allows you to level by
raising the front end rather than the rear.
Since only the rear wheels are locked
while in PARK, raising either one or both
of the rear wheels off the ground could
allow the vehicle to roll off the jacks.

WARNING
•
Keep all people clear of the coach
while the leveling system is operating.
•
When extending the rear stabilizers,
do not lift the wheels beyond ground
contact. If the rear tires do not contact
the ground it is possible for the vehicle
to roll unexpectedly forward (or
backward) off the jacks. This could
cause severe injury or death.
•
Do not use the levelers on icy or slick
surfaces on which the foot pads may
slip.
•
Do not use leveling jacks to support
the vehicle for service or tire changing.
•
Do not use the leveler as an
emergency brake. They are not
designed for any type of vehicle
braking purpose.
•
Never check for hydraulic fluid leaks
using your hands and/or any other
body part. The leaking fluid is under
pressure and is capable of cutting and
penetrating your skin, resulting in
severe injury.
