I have probably the exact same unit on my 2005 Fleetwood Providence. Power Gear provides two fill ports to make filling easier. Retracting the jacks all the way up is important, as already stated. Otherwise, the mess could be ugly. Once up, open the drain bolt on the bottom of the unit after removing at least one cap. The cap seems to be a vent as well. It will take just about six quarts of Dexron III or higher type. I just used Dexron VI and it has never worked better. IMHO, a funnel with a tube spout will make replacing the six quarts much easier. The cannister tank should be filled to within a quarter inch of the top. The caps have a center spindle as a dipstick. The caps can be pulled up and out without worry. Good luck!

As soon as I added fluid, the beeping stopped. I'll bet the reservoir isn't completely full.

Ok you guys are correct. It was low. Barely touching the dipstick. Now I overfilled it. I cycled the jacks a couple times and it blew fluid out the vents on top. It made a mess but did stop. Am I ok?
