Before You Level Your Coach

x Park brake must be set and transmission must be in “park” (“neutral” for diesel

coaches) before jacks will operate.

x Check leveling site to make sure obstructions have been cleared away for proper jack

operation.

x Selecting a site: When the coach is parked on an excessive slope the leveling

requirements may exceed the jack lift stroke capability. If the coach is parked on an
excessive slope, the coach should be moved to a more level surface before the
leveling system is deployed.

--CAUTION--

Keep people clear of coach prior to turning the leveling system on and while leveling
system is in use.

--CAUTION--

Never expose hands or other parts of the body near hydraulic leaks. High-pressure oil
leaks may cut and penetrate the skin causing serious injury.

--CAUTION--

If your coach is equipped with a slide out(s) always level your unit first, and then operate
the slide out room(s). When retracting the slide(s), always retract the room(s) first then
retract the leveling jacks. Following this procedure will produce the least amount of
stress on your chassis.

--CAUTION--

Please read the owners’ manual from the manufacturer who built and designed your
motor home for further leveling and slide out room operating information and safety
features.
