CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL
LEVEL (LIPPERT)
See the Leveling System Operation Guide
provided in your InfoCase for complete
maintenance instructions and information.
All maintenance should be done as part of the
normal servicing of the coach.
The hydraulic oil level should be checked
when the vehicle is first purchased and after any
extended storage. During regular vehicle use the
hydraulic fluid level should be checked once a
month. If an oil leak develops, the hydraulic oil
level needs to be checked frequently until repairs
can be completed.
The hydraulic pump is located beneath the
entrance step. Lift step cover and remove storage
bin (if equipped) to access.
NOTE: Leveling jacks must be in the retracted
(UP) position to get an accurate oil level.
The hydraulic oil level is checked visually by
inspecting the hydraulic oil reservoir. Always
keep the hydraulic oil level full (to the lip of the
breather cap).
NOTE: Always clean away any dirt and debris
from the top of the reservoir before
removing the breather cap to avoid entry
of debris and contamination of hydraulic
oil in the reservoir, which could lead to
pump failure or other problems.
NOTE: Only fill the hydraulic reservoir with the
jacks in the retracted (UP) position.
Adding fluid with the jacks in any other
position will cause fluid to leak through
the breather/fill cap.
Hydraulic Fluid Recommendation
The leveling system is filled from the factory
with AW-22S synthetic hydraulic oil that has
been specially formulated for use in the leveling
system and that is compatible with Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF).
DO NOT USE brake fluid or hydraulic jack
oil, which can damage the seals and cause leaks.
Further Information
For replacement fluids, see the manufacturer’s
recommendation in the leveling system operation
manual provided in your InfoCase.
