7. FOR DIESEL PUSHERS WITH AIR SUSPENSION:
Slide the air suspension lever to the LOWER position,
thus lowering the motorhome’s suspension. Proceed with
leveling only aer the motorhome is completely lowered.
NOTE: Ensure front wheels are pointed straight-ahead;
otherwise, tires could contact wheel arches.
8. Push ON/OFF button on Control Panel. e system
is now operational and the electronic level lights will
become active.
9. Push the AUTO LEVEL button to begin the automatic
leveling cycle. e system will automatically level the
vehicle. e control panel will send out a series of beeps
to let the operator know that AUTO-LEVEL is operating.
When completed, the panel will signal a ‘Successful Auto
Level.’ Aer ten minutes, the panel will enter sleep mode.
NOTE: Some panels indicate ‘Successful Leveling’ by
illuminating a green light located in the center of the
four jack buttons.
10. Push ON/OFF button to de-energize the system and
turn OFF the motorhome’s engine, keeping the parking
brake engaged.
11. Inspect each tire of the motorhome to ensure they
are NOT lifted off the ground. IF AUTOMATIC
LEVELING CAUSES ONE OR MORE WHEELS TO
BE OFF THE GROUND, ALL THE JACKS MUST
BE RETRACTED AND LEVELING MUST BE PER
FORMED MANUALLY.
NOTES:
•
When parked on soft surfaces, the use of jack pads
is recommended. Jack pads can be easily made
from 3/4-inch-thick plywood, cut into 12 to 16-inch
squares or circles. Do not place or retrieve jack pads
while the jack rams are in motion.
•
As the system is leveling the motorhome, you may
experience a certain amount of motorhome move-
ment; up and down, and side-to-side. This move-
ment is normal as the system automatically adjusts
the hydraulic jack rams.
•
During the automatic leveling cycle, it is very important
that you and passengers do not move around in the
motorhome until the unit is level and either the LCD
display indicates “Successful Leveling’ or the green
LCI logo light illuminates in the center of the touchpad.
Failure to remain still during the leveling cycle could
influence the leveling performance of the system.
•
Even when fully retracted, hydraulic jacks can restrict
overall ground clearance. This is particularly note-
worthy for Class C motorhomes. To prevent damage
to hydraulic jacks, be cautious when driving in rutted
terrain, over speed bumps, or over road curbing.
To Retract:
1. Ensure the motorhome’s gear selector is in PARK and
the parking brake is ENGAGED.
FOR CLASS A DIESEL PUSHERS ONLY: the motor-
home’s gear selector must be in NEUTRAL and the
parking brake must be ENGAGED.
2. START the motorhome’s engine and keep it running
while operating the leveling system.
3. Turn ON the master battery switch.
4. Energize the system by pushing ON/OFF button on
the control panel. e LED or LCD screen will display
JACKS DOWN.
5. Push the RETRACT button and the jacks will auto-
matically retract. If the controller has an LCD screen,
select AUTO RETRACT by pressing the up and down
buttons, then press ENTER.
6. When the JACKS DOWN display or LED goes o, the
jacks are fully retracted. Push the ON/OFF button on
the Control Panel to de-energize the system.
7. Perform a visual inspection around the motorhome to
verify the jacks are fully retracted.
8. FOR DIESEL PUSHERS WITH AIR SUSPENSION:
Return the Air Suspension Lever to the AUTOMATIC
position.
To stop the jacks from retracting, turn the system o and back
on again by pushing the ON/OFF button twice.
To retract in MANUAL Mode, push the RETRACT button
until it lights. By pushing any of the JACK buttons, the jacks
will retract in pairs, i.e., FRONT, REAR, LEFT, RIGHT.
BEFORE RETRACTING THE LEVELING JACKS:
• Ensure that all slideout rooms are fully retracted
BEFORE retracting leveling jacks.
• Ensure all people and pets remain clear of the jacks
and from underneath the motorhome.
• Remove any equipment or items that may have been
stored underneath the motorhome.
• Always visually conrm that the jacks have fully
retracted before moving the motorhome.
