Level sequence

Hi folks,
Newbie here. Just picked up the Isata3 24FW yesterday and taking it out on a few dry runs. I did search the forums and didn’t get the exact info so thought I’d post my first.

Couple of questions.
1. I plan to use a block or two under each of hydraulic levelers. (Is this ok?)
2. Should I level after the slide is out?

Thanks in advance and looking forward to a wealth of knowledge here.

You can use a block(s) under the levelers. It’s not needed, but may be depending on how far the site is from level. The jacks only have so much range.

You always want to level before putting out the slide to avoid pressures on the slide from being out of level.

Unless you already checked the level on your Equalizer System, you need to get a 4 ft level and check to make sure the Null Point is set properly. In other words, after the Auto Level has finished, check to make sure the RV is level.

It’s important you don’t move around in the RV during the Auto Level sequence as it throws off the sensors.

Here is a good video on the Equalizer System and how to reset the Null Point.

Thanks for the link. Yep, have a 4’ level that I can check against the system.
