LEVELING MANUALY an AUTOMATIC SYSTEM

After trying to level the coach AUTOMATICLY, and failing do to so because of to much slope, either front or rear, this is the way "POWER GEAR" tech informed me to do it manually.

You have enough fluid in the system to raise both front and rear jacks completely. This means that they will extend a total of 16 inches but raise ONLY 8 and 10 inches (fully extended)

The first step is to lower the front jacks at least 3-4 inches to make contact with a surface.
If the surface in front of the coach is sloped the first jack will stop when contact is made and the second will continue to lower until firm contact is made.

Next lower the rear jacks until they contact a surface. Check, making sure that BOTH REAR jacks are down. Use the appropriate "Right" or "Left" diamond so as BOTH jacks contact to the surface and the pressure on the surface is Equal on both jack pads.

Observe the BUBBLE near the "LEVELING PAD" and determine which way the motor home has to
RAISE
trying to get the most of the BUBBLE inside the circle as you can.

THEN use the side "Diamond", "Right or Left" to rise the "LOW" side so that the "Slides" can be extended and be near level as possible. It might be possible at this time then to raise the front or rear jacks a little more to center the bubble even better.

REMENBER THIS NEXT STATEMENT.
No matter which way the coach will be side raised, the front to rear, side to side, the fluid in the front jacks will flow from one side to the other. This keeps the front parallel with the rear so no stress will be on the chassis.

The idea is to get the coach as level as possible within the range of the jacks. Some blocking can be used under the jacks BUT NO wheels are to off the ground supported by the jacks. 6.2.06
