Automatic Leveling
The automatic function of the leveling system
should only engage when the site is relatively
level and solid to prevent excessive twist/
stress to the frame. It is essential to suspend
all movement in the motorhome during the
automatic leveling process.
Automatic Leveling Operation:
Follow the instructions in Prior to
Leveling.
Turn the ignition switch to the On
position.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the
system on.
Press the Auto switch. The pump motor
activates and the appropriate jacks
automatically extend and level the
motorhome.
NOTE:
A Jacks Down warning light will
illuminate when the jacks are extended.
The alarm will sound if the jacks are
down and the park brake is released or
transmission placed in gear.
The motorhome is level when the LED’s
next to Jack Extend switches are off
and the green Power Gear Level light is
illuminated.
Turn off the remote panel.
Turn off the ignition switch.

NOTE:
If additional height
or surface support is
needed, construct a
1' x 1' wooden block
made from two pieces
of ¾" plywood for a
total thickness of 1½". Drill
a hole in one corner and use the awning
wand to slide the wooden block under
the jack pad.
Retracting Leveling Jacks
Turn the ignition switch to the On
position.
Apply the parking brake.
Turn On the remote panel.
Momentarily press the All Jacks Retract
button. If retracting in manual mode, the
All Jacks button must be held until the
Jacks Down LED goes out.
Once the Jacks Down LED goes out, the
jacks should be fully retracted. Make a
visual inspection to ensure that all jacks
have fully retracted before moving the
motorhome.
INSPECTION:
Before moving the motorhome always
perform a visual inspection to be sure
that all jacks have fully retracted.
Remove any debris that may be on the
jack pad.

If the jacks fail to extend or retract:
Apply the park brake, turn the ignition
to the On position and place the
transmission in Park.
If jacks still do not operate, check
the leveling system fuse in the front
distribution box.
NOTE:
The hydraulic pump is equipped with an
internal thermal breaker for protection
against overheating. If the pump is used
repeatedly in a short period of time the
breaker will trip. It resets automatically
in 5 to 30 minutes.
