Are the levelers REALLY air operated ?
Kind of hard to raise that much weight with air.
I would think hydraulic.
Has any one LOOKED to see if the jacks are really down ?
Sounds to me like the indication is that you are telling it to raise the jacks when they are ALREADY UP.
Then.....the leveling system should have a manual mode.
Raise the levelers, which probably is NOT the "dump air" function, and then start over in the manual mode. Might have to have the engine running to do this.
If mine is reasonably level to start with, I just run the jacks down until they make firm contact with the ground for stability and not for leveling really. If his unit doesn't tend to sway when people walk around inside, he might not need the levelers at all sometimes.
There are NO air levelers. What he has is a AIR BAG leveling system. BUT, usually on the older Excec's they had BOTH Air and Hyd leveling. You dumped the air to HYDRAULIC level. You did NOT dump the air to AIR LEVEL. Regardless, on Monaco products, the air dump valve is very quiet and takes about 3 times longer to dump the air than the standard
air dump valve on HWH systems. Monaco usually did not use the HWH supplied air dump valves. Now, IF he has HYD and AIR, he can extend the HYD jacks and lift the unit. THAT will cause the RIDE HEIGHT arms to dump the air in the bags. Then retract the jacks and then AIR LEVEL. Doug
Thank you for your response. He has no hydraulic levellers. All levelling is done by the airbags. Without a schematic I’m not willing to fault find the boards and determine why the relay is chattering. He will bring in a mobile tech with experience in this area.
