CHASSIS INFORMATION - 10

By design, a self lubricating seal is used
which will allow approximately 10% of the
total oil capacity to pass onto the piston rod.
The gradual process of oil loss does not affect
the performance of the shock absorber during
the service life. This process will be evident
after a long period of service by an oil lm on
the body of the shock absorber. The appearance
of a coating or lm on the body or rod is
completely normal, it is an indication the shock
is functioning normally.
Road holding, handling, balance and braking
characteristics all can be contributed to the
shock absorber. The operating conditions for
which the shock absorber must endure will
determine the life span. However, since the
only moving part is the piston rod, there are no
springs, hinges or pins to wear out, get weak or
deteriorate.
LEVELING - HYDRAULIC
The leveling system is designed to reduce
sight selection problems and stabilize the
motorhome when parked. The leveling system
features a remote control panel (located on
driver’s console). The multiple warning system
consists of a Jacks Down LED and warning
alarm if a jack is down and the transmission is
placed in gear or the park brake is released.
The leveling system can be operated in manual
or automatic modes.
Safety Features:
The leveling system has safety features to
prevent a jack from extending during travel.
The control panel will not activate until the
following safety features are in place.
Transmission is in Neutral.
Parking brake is applied.
Ignition switch is in the ACC or On
position.
Remote:
The remote control panel includes four jack
extend switches, an Auto switch, a MAN
(manual) switch, a retract All Jacks switch and
a power ON/OFF switch. A LED light next to a
directional button indicates that position is low.
Indicator Lamps:
MAN – Indicates system is in manual
level mode.
AUTO – Initiates Automatic level mode.
ON/OFF – Turns the leveling system on
or off.
JACKS DOWN – Indicates one or more
jack is extended.
LOW VOLTAGE – Indicates chassis
voltage is low.
ENGAGE PARK BRAKE – Indicates
the Park Brake is disengaged.
The LED adjacent to any extend switch
indicates that position is low.
CAUTION:
The leveling jacks are not designed
for changing tires. This can cause
problems with the suspension system,
frame alignment and damage to the
windshield(s). Never use the jacks
to elevate any wheel position off the
ground.
