Operation / Manual & Auto-Level - Equalizer Systems Auto-Level Troubleshooting & Warranty Manual

Operation
Prior to operating the system it is required that the operator perform a physical check around and under the unit to assure that
nothing or no one could be harmed by the jacks extending or retracting and the vehicle moving up or down
Manual Operation using the Equalizer Systems Auto-Level keypad
Power on:
Push and release the Power keypad button to engage power. All lights should 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 attempt to extend
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 or the park brake needs to be set and if
equipped the LED lights for these will be on (see section below on panel LED's)
Planting the jacks:
Using the Down keypad buttons, 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)
out of the "stowed" position. jacks may be operated individually or in pairs depending on the system supplied.
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 individually or in pairs
depending on the system supplied as long as they are operated in the same direction. 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 maybe specific instances when manual extension of one or more jacks may 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 retract the jacks using the UP buttons for 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 (rear only) will automatically retract and return to stowed
position when the ALL RETRACT button is pressed and released. Tthe front jacks will need to be retracted using
the UP arrow(s) to the stowed position after coupling to the tow vehicle. When All retract is pressed the pump
will run in retract for approximately 5 seconds after the last (rear jack) 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*
Dual Leg Switch and Harness
Your system includes a dual leg switch and harness that allows the independent operation of the front jack legs.
This is primarily so that the front legs can be extended to lift and support the trailer from the tow vehicle. This
dual leg switch control includes a key switch to disconnect it so that unauthorized operation of the front jacks can
be avoided. During travel this key switch must be turned to the off position and the key removed. To operate
insert the key turn it to the on position then the rocker switches can be used to operate the front jacks
independently or as a pair up or down. Do not attempt to operate jacks in opposite directions at the same time.
