HWH Level series 600

On the subject of HWH (600 series) leveling system.

I have always "assumed" that the green light on the panel assured me that the system was at the correct level for travel. A little education is worse than none at all.
I downloaded the HWH literature for the 600 series. In reading it, on page 4, (General Instructions, preparation for travel) in large bold print it states
"CAUTION; it is the operator's responsibility to check the vehicle is at the proper ride height for travel"
How do I determine the "proper ride height"
This was brought to my attention the fact that my hitch dug into the pavement on arrival back at hope port. It had never done that before.
How do I go about setting "the proper ride height". Does it need to be set prior to each departure.
Thanks

Turn on the ignition and the travel will come on if the circuit is open.
When the air pressure switch reaches 85psi it opens and takes the ground away and the travel light comes on.

The Green light does not mean you are at Travel Height.
It means the pressure switch on the rear manifold is above 85psi.
