Leveling jack replacement on 2011 Damon
We have a 2011 Damon gas motorhome. Replacing the front leveling jack. I have a couple of questions. 1) Once the new jack is on and connected, do the lines have to be bled and if so, how do you do it...
Forum Discussion
Power gear hydraulic jacks say to run the jack all the way down. then retract it THREE TIMES using the controls inside.
I would suggest running the front end of the coach up on at least 3 layers of 2x tire width plank
Since my jacks are non-op I have a set of stair steps not unlike the ones in the current edition of FMCA mag.. But slightly different.
They beveled the lead end of the planks (I did not 22.5 inch wheels you don't need tobervel)
one plank 3 foot
one two foot
Oen one foot
I you are not careful you can over run so a "Stop" say just beyond that last step might not be a bad idea (add 4 inches to each layer and put a beveled 4x4 on the end of the top step)
or in your case you can lay plank down and not glue 'em together as I did.
Then run the jacks down 3 or 4 times to maximum extention and retract.. That's what Power gear says will do it.. Me. not so sure. When I re-activate mine I'll install bleeders.
