Title: I can't Dump (solved)
Post by: Hans&Marjet on August 29, 2015, 10:36:00 am
Just returned from 10 days on the lake (great time btw). Parked the coach and hit the "dump" button rear dropped perfectly front stayed up @ travel height..Tried twice, raising the coach works fine, putting it back in travel mode works fine, but NO air dump in front when manually dumping air.
Any help appreciated.

Howdy Hans,  I wonder if this may be your solution?

Dave...

I checked the exhaust ports and they were filled with dauber crud. Coach now drops in front except the left side does not fully deflate with the right does.Im not exactly on level ground, do the  ride height solenoids have anything to do with full deflation.??

Any ideas.???
Thx

Hans

Howdy Hans,  If you're asking about the Ride Height Control Valves, I don't "think" they would affect the dump.  Especially in the front, where the left and right share the same control valve.  Since you found some "crud" I think I would re-clean the exhaust ports, and then raise/lower a few times.  It may clear the exhaust ports.
Good Luck, Dave A

Thx Dave..I also checked the HWH manual and they state in manual operation.

Quote "The front manifold has a right and left air pressure switch.When the pressure in one front bag drops to approximately 10psi, the opposite side front air bags will be inhibited from exhausting any more air whether in automatic leveling,pushing a down arrow in manual leveling or pushing the "DUMP" button. The rear manifold has one pressure switch and will not interfere with function of the leveling system."

So all seems to be normal.
