Fully Retract the Leveling Jacks
1� Retract the front leveling jacks by using the
manual hand cranks (Manual Leveling Model), or
by pressing lower corner on the wireless remote
control (Hydraulic Leveling Model)�
2� Retract the rear leveling jacks in the same way�
Important: The hydraulic or manual jacks may be
damaged if they hit an obstruction caused by
rough terrain, uneven road conditions, pot holes,
or curbs and other objects� Slow down and check
for interference as necessary�
Important: If the Showmobile will be moved more
than 15 miles or over rough terrain, wire each
manual corner jack at the crank connection to
prevent the jack from retracting because of road
vibration�
3. Turn the key to o and unplug the remote control
module from the front end of the Showmobile�
Store it in a safe place (such as the control
compartment)�
Attach the Towing Vehicle
See "Towing the Showmobile"�
Lock the Showmobile
Lock all doors and compartments on the Showmobile:
• Front end-panel lock (and padlock, if used)
• Back end-panel lock (and padlock, if used)
• Control compartment
• Both storage compartments
Check the Electrical System
1� Check all lights to be sure each switch and light is
functioning properly: clearance and marker lights;
tail lights; directional lights; license plate light; and
brake lights�
2� Move the Showmobile at no more than 5 mph
while you check the brakes by manually applying
the trailer
brakes�
3� Adjust the brakes so that they are functioning
properly�
4� If the lights and brakes are functioning properly,
the Showmobile is ready for towing�
Re-Phasing the Roof/Canopy Motion
After a time, you may have to adjust the roof/canopy
motion� You may notice, after the roof/canopy is fully
raised, that when lowering the front and rear have
become out of phase with each other (i�e�, one end
is moving faster than the other)� This out-of-phase
condition is most likely to occur within the rst 5 to
10 seconds when you are initially lowering the roof/
canopy from the fully raised position�
If you ever feel that the roof/canopy is out of phase
when lowering, stop it immediately and follow this
adjustment procedure:
1� Focus your adjustment on the end of the roof/
canopy that is moving faster (the end that is
ahead of the other when lowering)� You will make
adjustments to slow this end�
At that end of the Showmobile, locate the square
counterbalance manifold that is welded to the
base of the roof/canopy hydraulic cylinder� Two
hydraulic hoses connect with this manifold at the
base of the cylinder, just above oor level.
2� There is a cartridge sticking out of the top of
the manifold with an Allen-head set screw and
locknut� While holding the set screw in place,
loosen the locknut� Adjust the set screw in 1/8
turn increments: counterclockwise to slow that
end of the roof/canopy; clockwise to speed up
that end� Hold the set screw in its new position
and retighten the locknut�
3� Move to the front of the stage and raise the roof/
canopy completely until both hydraulic cylinders
bottom out� Begin to lower the roof/canopy�
You should notice the eects of your adjustment
within the rst 5 to 10 seconds.
4� Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the roof/canopy has
been re-phrased to your satisfaction�
Important: To check your adjustment, always raise
the roof/canopy completely after you have
made the adjustment� Then begin to lower it
to view the results�
To avoid personal injury and vehicle
damage, never tow Showmobile with
an undersized vehicle.
