RESPONSIBILITY AND GUARANTEE SMV reserve the right to carry out any modifications and improvements to the machine that are held necessary over time and without prior notice. Products manufactured by SMV are guaranteed against any breakdowns that can be attributed to manufacturing defects or materials used.
Page 4
SMV are available to carry out repairs to their own products even after the guarantee has expired. SMV will carry out repairs after many years of use (as long as it is economically viable). Availability of spare parts designed and manufactured by SMV is guaranteed up to 5 years from the product being out of production.

USING THE INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL SMV recommend that users scrupulously adhere to the instructions set out in this Manual. Before carrying out work of any kind on components applied to the equipment read the following Instructions Manual carefully. This Instructions Manual is written for specialised and competent personnel and provides instructions for correct use of the product.

METHOD OF USE The levelling system for camper vans, motor-homes, trailers etc. provides stability and levelling of the vehicle on four hydraulic feet, exploiting the run provided by suspensions and shock absorbers. Once levelled on its four feet, the vehicle becomes much more stable and no longer experiences annoying rocking caused by walking. On 4 feet, 95% of vehicle weight is removed from the suspensions and leaf springs, providing these parts with a longer lifespan.

THE SYSTEM INCLUDES 4 hydraulic jacks 1 hydraulic power pack 1 emergency pump 1 electronic control panel 1 remote control 1 black box for control of jacks 4 integrated check valves 4 mechanical limit switches 1 tube and tube fittings kit Different attachment points and fixing systems are used according to the type of chassis.

Danger! STOP THE MANOEUVRE IMMEDIATELY AND VERIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. In the case of “fixed” vertical jacks we will only see the red led of the mechanical switch limit light up. When the jacks move, the corresponding red leds light up on the receiver. With the autolevel system we will see on the receiver the autolevel movements.

GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES All installation, assembly, maintenance and disassembly operations of the equipment and components used with the equipment must be carried out fully respecting safety measures: there must never be any pressure (zero pressure) inside the hydraulic circuit and no weight of any kind must be placed on the jack springs or the control unit used (zero load). ...

DISPOSAL OF HYDRAULIC FLUID Hydraulic fluids have special waste disposal rules: disposal of hydraulic fluid into the environment is prohibited by law, thus disposal must adhere to manufacturer indications and laws concerning this subject. CHOICE OF HYDRAULIC FLUID Any mineral based hydraulic fluid is suitable for use. When choosing a hydraulic fluid, it is necessary to keep in mind optimum temperature/viscosity when the system is functioning, operating data and the temperature of the environment.

DESCRIPTION, ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION The versatile and modular nature of the SMV hydraulic system, gives rise to a compact, versatile and easy-to-install unit. An essential condition for ensuring that the hydraulic power pack and the system to which it is applied work well, is that assembly and installation are carried out under conditions of maximum cleanliness.
Page 17
PROCEDURAL STANDARDS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION FILLING TANK If the power pack is supplied with the tank, fill it with hydraulic oil filtered during racking to a filtration value of 25 micron or lower and check the level using the level rod located on the filling cap or by using the visual level, if present. If the power pack is not equipped with a tank, install the collector in its dedicated space checking that the collector ring on the connection interface is tight enough;...
Page 18
SYSTEM START UP Once the system has been started up, check the exact functioning of all the command switches and the calibration of the adjustable valves, using the pressure gauge outlet. If not specified when ordered, the pressure gauge plug should be inserted to complete the system.
Page 19
CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE Safety and the good working order of the system also depend on correct and scheduled maintenance . Warning After a brief period of running in of the system, check that the screws, nuts, fittings and tubes are correctly tightened: vibrations can cause dangerous loosening of the above mentioned components.

It is often necessary to personalise the type of anchoring brackets used on the chassis because of different vehicle disposition. Brackets must always be anchored to the supporting chassis in a structural way. In the event of difficulty or doubt in deciding on the correct position for brackets please consult our technical department.

Both the bushing and the insert must be greased or oiled Use only original SMV tube fittings Insert the bushing into the tube and screw tighten in an anticlockwise direction until reaching its mechanical stop. Screw the tube fitting in a clockwise direction inside the bushing until you reach the end of thread without interruption.
Page 31
CONNECTING HYDRAULIC TUBES When assembling tubes be careful not to confuse the various connections. A double effect jack corresponds to each block. All the tubes that go on the lower part of the jacks must be connected on the operating side of the emergency pump. All the tubes that go on the upper part of the jacks must be connected on the opposite side.
