Equalizer Systems Operation

Note: Other manuals for just operation are available with keypad drawings

Manual Operation

Power On:
Push and release the Power Keypad button to engage power. All lights will come on
then most will go out. The LED light next to the Power button should be lit RED when power is on.
If you have installed the ignition disable circuit (step 8 Keypad Ignition Disable Circuit- Page 5), you
will need to have the ignition key in the correct position to extend the jacks. If you attempt to extend
individual jacks by pressing the Down Keypad buttons or all the jacks with the Auto-Level button,
you will hear a "deny" tone from the keypad if the ignition key is in the improper position. Also
depending on if the park brake disable is connected and the park brake is released you may not be
able to extend jacks. (See step 9 on page 5).
Planting The Jacks:
Using the Down Keypad button, extend the jacks until they contact the
ground (this is referred to as "planting" the jacks). As you extend the jacks, an LED light on the
Keypad will indicate the jack(s) is out of the "stowed" position. Jacks may only be operated in pairs
on later model units. Do not manually overextend individual jacks. This may cause unwanted stress
on the coach or the jacks.

Leveling the Coach:

Use a bubble level on a flat surface in the center of the coach. Level the
vehicle by using the Down or Up Keypad buttons until the vehicle is level. Jacks may be operated
only in pairs on later model units. Do not attempt to lift the vehicle's tires off the ground. The
Keypad may be left on once level has been achieved. The Keypad will enter "sleep mode" after five
minutes of inactivity.
Note:
There could be specific instances when manual extension of one or more jacks may be
inhibited (deny tone when Down is depressed). This situation is caused by the 'anti-twist' protocol in
the software installed in the Controller. Simply stated, the 'anti-twist' protocol denies jack extension
if the system senses that a specific corner of the coach is approximately 3 degrees higher than the
rest. You will be able to extend the other jacks to overcome the slope. If the system incorrectly
senses excessive slope, this can be overcome by re-setting the null. This will allow manual extension
of all jacks.
Retracting the Jacks: Use the All Retract button to retract the jacks prior to travel.
The Equalizer System does provide the ability to tract the jacks using the UP buttons for each pair of
jacks. However, these buttons are not intended to be used for retracting the jacks to their stowed
position prior to travel. The Up arrows are to be used only for retracting the jacks to help level the
coach. The All Retract button must be pressed to insure the system is ready/safe for travel. All jacks
should automatically retract and return to stowed position when the ALL RETRACT button is
pressed and released. The pump will run in retract for approximately 5 seconds after the last jack has
been fully retracted- or until a time limit of 90 seconds has been reached.
*It is always the responsibility of the coach operator to visually confirm that the jacks are fully
retracted and safe for travel*
