How to check the fluid reservoir for HWH leveling?
Proper oil level should appear in the range between the two scribed lines on the dipstick. Add HWH Specialty hydraulic oil or Dexron-style automatic transmission fluid to the reservoir if necessary.
What are the parts of a leveling system?
The leveling system has a reservoir, a pump, selector valves and actuators. As the fluid is pressurized, the actuator extends and works to level the RV. Pivoting and straight-acting cylinders are available in capacities ranging from 6,000 lbs. (2750 kg.) per cylinder up to 24,000 lbs. (11000 kg.) per cylinder.
Where is the fluid reservoir on a motor home?
Depending on the model of motor home, the pump will be located behind the axle of one of the front wheels and accessible from beneath the vehicle. The reservoir is a rectangular box with a chrome breather cap on top containing an integrated dipstick. Wipe off any dirt from around the breather cap.
How big is a standard RV leveling cylinder?
As the fluid is pressurized, the actuator extends and works to level the RV. Pivoting and straight-acting cylinders are available in capacities ranging from 6,000 lbs. (2750 kg.) per cylinder up to 24,000 lbs. (11000 kg.) per cylinder. Consult HWH specifications to determine the best combination of leveling cylinders for the application.

What kind of fluid do you use for Lippert auto leveling?
I checked with Lippert and the fluid recommended for their hydraulic auto leveling system is automatic transmission fluid with Dexron III or Mercon 5 fluid. @RichardE there is a mark on the id tag that says fill line here.
Why is my HWH 200 not leveling properly?
As in all high-pressure hydraulic systems, maintaining the proper oil level in the reservoir of the HWH 200 prevents air from entering the system. Failure of the jacks to fully extend is the primary symptom of insufficient hydraulic oil and air in the system. Retract all four jacks fully.

Where can I find the fluid level on my car?
If you are dealing with a transparent reservoir with level markings, the measurement can generally be found on the side of the reservoir. Other vehicles are equipped with a level indicator affixed to the reservoir cap. Note: Some vehicles have hot and cold level markings.
Where do I find the fluid level on my power steering?
Power steering reservoir location, fluid level specification and fluid type can be found in the owner’s manual. Tip: The owners manual will generally tell you where the reservoir is located and which type of fluid to use in the system. This publication will also show you how to read the fluid level markings.
What happens if you put the wrong fluid in the reservoir?
Pouring either fluid into the wrong reservoir can cause major damage and open up an unsafe driving situation. The vehicle owner’s manual will often include information regarding the type of fluids to use for each of the vehicles systems.
Can a master cylinder be filled to the correct level?
Solution: Only fill a master cylinder to the correct level. For more information on specific systems see below. More Info: This issue of brake fluid level usually does not generate much interest or concern among most technicians. It is normally considered a “no-brainer”.
What happens when the brake fluid level is too high?
It has to do with a normal process that takes place in every brake system that could be adversely affected if the fluid level is too high. The brake fluid in a hydraulic system expands after the brakes have reached operating temperature.
What is the role of the reservoir in a hydraulic system?
This excess fluid is needed when an accumulator is being charged or a cylinder is being extended. The reservoir performs many roles in the operation of the hydraulic system. One of its primary jobs is for heat dissipation (cooling the hydraulic fluid) and fluid conditioning (dissipation of contaminants and aeration).
What should the oil level be on a HWH transmission?
Remove the dipstick again and read the oil level. Proper oil level should appear in the range between the two scribed lines on the dipstick. Add HWH Specialty hydraulic oil or Dexron-style automatic transmission fluid to the reservoir if necessary. Bring the oil level up to approximately 1 inch below the top of the reservoir.

How to check hydraulic fluid level with engine off?
One is for checking the hydraulic level fluid with engine off, one with the engine on. Wipe off the dipstick. Note the side that says “MOTOR AUS UNBELADEN”. Since we are checking the level with the engine off we will use this side. Fully reinsert the dipstick into the reservoir and pull it out. Read the level on the dipstick.
What kind of oil do you put in a HWH leveler?
I went to O’Rilley’s auto parts and there were three different types (32,46 and something else – can’t remember), plus hydraulic jack oil. Are any of these three the same as the HWH Oil? Owner’s manual also stipulates that Dextron III can be substituted “if necessary”. Would rather have hydraulic oil than transmission fluid if at all possible.

How does the HWH 200 hydraulic leveling system work?
Many models include hydraulic leveling systems manufactured by HWH and available as OEM options or aftermarket installations. As in all high-pressure hydraulic systems, maintaining the proper oil level in the reservoir of the HWH 200 prevents air from entering the system.
Is the 325 leveling system a push button system?
The 325 leveling system is a manually controlled, BI-AXIS push-button system. This system will always extend two [2] jacks at the same time, both front jacks, the left front and the left rear jacks, the right front and right rear jacks or both rear jacks.
