Electric Stabilizers (if equipped)
Stabilizing jacks are not designed or intended to be
used to level the motorhome. They are designed to
reduce vehicle motion due to movement inside the
motorhome only and not designed to carry the weight
of the motorhome.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Electric stabilizers (if equipped) are oered on select Class
C motorhomes. If installed, they are located along the rear-
ward portion of the chassis, just inside the rear bumper. If
your motorhome is equipped with electric stabilizers, the
operating button is located inside the motorhome by the
entry steps. Be sure the electric stabilizers are retracted in
the up (travel) position before driving the motorhome.
TO EXTEND:
1. Park the motorhome on a reasonably at area.
2. Press and hold either the le or right stabilizer switch
in the DOWN position until the jack pad contacts the
ground.
3. Press and hold the opposite stabilizer switch in the
DOWN position until the jack pad contacts the
ground.
4. If either stabilizer does not contact the ground
while being fully extended, blocks of wood or other
non-compressible materials may need to be placed
under the jack pads.
NEVER LIFT THE WHEELS OFF THE GROUND TO
STABILIZE THE MOTORHOME! THE STABILIZING
JACKS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE FULL
WEIGHT OF THE MOTORHOME. LIFTING WHEELS
OFF THE GROUND MAY RESULT IN AN UNSTABLE
VEHICLE CONDITION, WHICH MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE AND PETS STAY
WELL CLEAR OF THE STABILIZER JACKS WHEN
IN OPERATION. THE MECHANISM OF THE JACKS
PRESENT PINCH-POINTS THAT COULD CATCH ON
LOOSE CLOTHING OR BODY PARTS AND CAUSE
SEVERE INJURY.
WARNINGWARNING
TO RETRACT:
1. Press and hold the stabilizer switches in the UP posi-
tion until the motors stop.
2. Visually check that the electric stabilizing jacks are
retracted in the UP (travel) position before moving or
driving the motorhome.
MANUAL OPERATION:
In the event that an electrical problem with the stabilizing
system occurs, a manual override can be performed to
extend or retract the stabilizers.
1. Disconnect one of the wire leads from the drive
motor(s) to prevent back-feeding the motor.
2. Locate the actuating coupler located on the end of the
drive screw, opposite the electric motor.
3. Insert the crank handle over the coupler and pin.
4. Rotate the crank handle clockwise to extend the jacks
or counterclockwise to retract the jacks.
NOTE: Complete instructions regarding the operation
and maintenance of the electric stabilizer system
installed on your motorhome are available through
your on-line TMC Owners Resource account.
If the vehicle’s ignition is turned ON while the stabilizers
are extended, a warning buzzer will sound, signifying
that the jacks are down and possible damage could
occur if the vehicle is moved.
