Leveling motor

[Pete Masterson]

Let me add ... my leveling system, when on "auto" will often give me a 1/4 bubble high on the curb side. After talking with HWH (the leveling system mfg.) I was told that this was "within spec" and that fiddling with the level sensor would likely prove fruitless (and time consuming). I note that about once in 10 times, the leveling system gets it right on...

So, my procedure is to let the "auto" computer level the coach. Then, I put a level on the galley counter and check the level. It's usually a little high on the curb side -- so then I switch the system on, press the down arrow on the right side briefly, then check the level. One or two brief presses of the arrow button usually gets the level "dead on."

If the coach is seriously out-of-level, then you should call HWH and discuss the matter with them. They're very helpful and can advise you of the best way to get things working better. (Also verify that you have sufficient hydraulic fluid in the system.)

Your question is pretty intimating. A proper discussion would be pages

long.  Let me give you a quick and doubtlessly incomplete answer. 

Your leveler consists of a hydraulic tank and pump that control oil

pressure to a valve body that permits you to add oil to two hydraulic

jacks at a time.  In the manual mode you can apply oil pressure to the

two jacks on your right side, left side or the two in the front or the

two in the rear.   

The easist decription of how to operate the system is to turn the

ingition key on in your coach to on.  Press the ON button on your

leveler control panel.  (The system is now powered up.) Put a bubble

level on your kitchen counter and determine which side of the coach is

low.  Press the button on your leveler control pad (mine is next to

the driver seat) that causes the pump to run (up arrow) on the

corresponding side of the bus that you want to raise.  Until the bus

is level.  Rotate the bubble level to front and back position. 

Determine if which end is too low.  Press the corresponding up button

on the control pad to raise that end of the coach.  

When you want to move coach you must store the jacks.  To do this: 

Turn the key on.  Turn the power on for the leveling system on the

control panel next to the drivers seat.  Press the "store" button. 

Wait a fem minutes the (and this is important) GO OUTSIDE AND VERIFY

THAT ALL OF THE JACKS HAVE BEEN STORED FULLY.  

Happy trails,

We seem to have a slight and chronic list to starboard.

How does the leveling system work?

What is the leveling motor supposed to do and how does it work?
