DRIVING & HANDLING
WARNING
0 After starting the leveling cycle it is very
important you or other occupants do
not move around in the motorhome
until the vehicle is level. Failure to
remain still during the leveling cycle can
affect the leveling jack system sensors.
0 Do not move the motorhome while the
jacks are still in contact with the ground
or extended. Damage to the vehicle
could occur.
0 Do not attach any item to any leveling
jack foot or use wood blocks or pads
under the leveling jacks as doing so will
affect the leveling system performance
and may damage the leveling jack
system.
0 Do not rely solely upon warning lights to
determine the position of the leveling
jacks. It is the operator’s responsibility
to check that all the leveling jacks are
fully raised in the travel mode before
moving motorhome.
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.
Never lift the motorhome wheels off the
ground when leveling the motorhome.
