Preparation; Determining The Mounting Position Of The Jack Brackets And Components - Lippert Components Ground Control 3.0 User Manual

Preparation

1. Remove all loose items from the front storage compartments
of the trailer.
2. Support the trailer at all four corners with jack stands
(or other adequate supports).
3. Remove the underbelly from the trailer and set aside.
Determining the Mounting Position of the Jack
Brackets and Components
1. Analyze the trailer. Determine where the jack brackets,
controller, touch pad, and rear sensor will be mounted on the
trailer.
A. Rear Jack Brackets: should be mounted approximately
12" behind the rear tires and be aligned with each other.
B. Middle Jack Brackets (if applicable): should be mounted
approximately 12" in front of the front axle hanger and
should be aligned with each other.
C. Controller: should be mounted to the ceiling of the front-
most storage compartment in the center of the trailer.
The controller has a limited mounting area for proper
performance. At the center of the frame (side to side) and
at the center of the landing gear (front jacks) is a center
point. From this center point, the controller can be mounted
12" out on either side and up to 3' in front of or behind the
center point. This area is outlined in a green dotted box
(Fig. 3A).
Note: The controller MUST stay mounted inside a compartment
that is protected from the elements and in compliance with
RVIA Gas Codes, as the controller connections are not spark-
proof.
D. 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.
E. Rear Sensor: has a limited mounting area for proper
performance. The rear sensor MUST be in line with or
behind the rear leveling jacks, as well as in line with the
center of the frame. This area is outlined in a green dotted
line (Fig. 4A).
