Preparation
1. Analyze the trailer. Determine where the rear jack brackets, controller and touch pad will be mounted
on the trailer. The rear jack brackets should be mounted approximately 1' behind the rear axle hanger
and be aligned with each other. Jack brackets may already be pre-installed by LCI. The controller
should be mounted in an under-floor compartment, as far forward as possible, in the center of the
trailer (if possible), and in compliance with RVIA Gas Codes, as the controller connections are not
spark-proof. The touch pad should be mounted in a compartment on the side of the trailer so that
the operator will have a view of the hitch pin while using the touch pad. The touch pad MUST also be
protected from the elements.
NOTE: The landing gear will be installed to the frame of the trailer by LCI.
Criteria for Determining Use of Ground Control® 3.0 4 Point or 6 Point System
4 Point Application
Use the 4 Point application if the distance between the center of the landing gear footpad and the center of the
rear jack footpad will be less than 20' (Fig. 1).
6 Point Application
Use the 6 Point application if the distance between the center of the landing gear footpad and the center of the
rear jack footpad will be 20' or greater (Fig. 2).
NOTE: If the GVWR is 15,500 lbs or greater, consult LCI Engineering prior to installation.
