98 Dutchstar DP air bag DUMP

Hello, I have a 98 Dutchstar DP that I purchased about a year ago.
It has an HWH Touch panel Controlled Leveling system 310 series.
Thats what the manual says.
The manual also has no instructions for dumping the airbags, however the touch pad installed has a Dump switch. It has never worked since Ive owned it. The leveling part works fine, just the dump switch doesnt do a thing. After going over the manual I realized the touchpad illustrated is different than the one installed.
Could the touchpad have been replaced with one with a dump switch?

Anyone out there with the same coach can shed some light?

Thanks

I have the HWH 310, pic is what my control pad looks like and matches what’s in the owners manual.

98 Dutchstar DP air bag DUMP

My manual, I’ll dig it out tomorrow, but from memory this is what I do. Turn key to acc, turn touch pad on then hold dump switch down until the air bags are deflated.

Newmar put the Dutch Star name on gas RV’s back in the day so they would not be dumping air bags. Maybe your manual is for a a 310 system that they use with gas rvs.

Dug my manual out, it has trouble shooting steps and diagrams of the system. If you can’t find the manual on line I sent you a PM.

Jeff,
Thanks for letting me see your manual. My coach has the "dump" system. After seeing your schematic i found what was different. The dump switch wiring has been rerouted to the dash and connected to the "Pre Heat" switch. I can dump the air now.

Thanks
