Room Positioning for Checking Oil Level in the HWH Slide Hydraulic Reservoir

If your coach is a 2000 year model or later and you likely have slide room extensions.

Checking the proper level of the reservoir depends on the type of extension mechanisms used in your particular year model coach. When adequately filled, the oil level of the reservoir will be approximately one inch below the top of the reservoir.

FLUID HWH Specialty Hydraulic Oil is recommended. In an emergency Dexron automatic transmission fluid can be used.

NOTE Dexron automatic transmission fluid contains red dye and can cause staining should a leak occur.

DO NOT USE brake fluid or hydraulic jack fluid. Use of these can damage seals.

All Foretravel systems are factory filled with Dexron III Automatic Transmission fluid.

It is important that all slide rooms are positioned per the below table before checking the hydraulic oil level. To check the oil supply, remove the breather cap from the top of the hydraulic oil reservoir. The oil level should be approximately one inch below the top of the reservoir when adequately filled.
