Rear Sensor - Lippert Components Level Up Installation And Owner's Manual

12. Repeat this welding process for the remaining leveling
jacks.
13. Paint the mounting brackets and welded frame areas
black.
14. Measure and make the hydraulic hoses (orange for
extend, black for retract) (Fig.11). Measure from the rear
leveling jack to the mid leveling jack. Add 3 feet to this
measurement to ensure that there will be enough hose
material to run between jacks and prevent kinking. This
will be the measurement for the extend and retract hoses
between the mid and rear jacks. For example, if the
measurement is 9 ft., two 12 ft. orange hoses and two
12 ft. black hoses would be made. One 9 ft. black hose
will need to be made to connect the two rear jacks on the
retract plumbing.

15. Measure from the power unit location to the landing
gear on the side of the trailer closest to the power unit
location. Add 3 feet to this measurement. This will be the
length of the retract and extend hoses from the power
unit to the landing gear on the side of the trailer closest
to the power unit. All hoses must be run on top of the foil
insulation inside the underbelly and over the top of any
frame crossmembers. See the plumbing diagram for full
details on the measuring, making, and installation of these
hoses.
NOTE: When running the hoses from the power unit to the
rear leveling jacks, bundle them together with the harness
for the rear sensor and run them all at once.
16. Secure all hoses to the proper fittings on each jack.
Orange hoses connect to the fittings closest to the frame.
Black hoses connect to the fittings farthest away from the
frame. See also the plumbing diagram for a color coded
illustration of the hose orientation.

Rear Sensor

The rear sensor must be installed on the crossmember
to the rear of the back axle, centered from curbside
to roadside on the trailer with the arrows on the top of
the sensor pointing the correct direction. Orientation is
imperative for the correct operation of the leveling system
(Fig.12).

1. Dry fit the mounting plate and the rear sensor to the
crossmember. The pre-drilled holes in the plate are for
mounting the rear sensor to the plate. Space between
the sensor and the crossmember must be left so the wire
harness will not be pinched.
2. Attach the rear sensor to the mounting plate using two
#12 X 1" hex head self-tapping screws (Fig.13).
