HITcH REco GNITIoN - REcoNNEcTING To ToW VEHIcLE
NOTE: Once the automatic leveling cycle has been started, it is important that there is no movement in the
trailer until the trailer has completed the leveling process. Failure to remain still during the leveling
cycle could have an effect on the performance of the leveling system.
1.
After unhitching from tow vehicle press "AUTO LEVEL" (Fig. 2L).
NOTE: Pressing "ABORT" during an Auto Level sequence will abort the auto leveling cycle.
Auto Level Sequence
NOTE: Sequence may vary slightly based on the height of the trailer king pin prior to leveling.
1.
When the Auto Level sequence begins, the front of the trailer will seek a position near a level state,
then the trailer will level from front to back.
2. The left side jack(s) extend to ground (left mid and left rear).
3.
The right side jack(s) extend to ground (right mid and right rear).
4.
Jack pairs will extend as needed in order to level the trailer.
NOTE: Step 4 may repeat several times if the controller deems necessary.
NOTE: If the "AUTO LEVEL" sequence does not perform as described above, place the system in manual
mode and test that the jacks operate correctly by pushing their coordinating buttons on the touch
panel; e.g., "FRONT" button operates only the front jacks, etc.

Hitch Recognition - Reconnecting to Tow Vehicle

1.
Push touch panel "ON/OFF" (Fig. 2K) to turn system on (See "Standard Mode and Menu" to reach
standard mode.)
2.
Press "AUTO HITCH" (Fig. 2M). Rear jacks will retract.
3.
The front of the trailer will raise to the height where the auto level sequence was started.
NOTE: If the front of the trailer was below level when the Auto Level process was initiated, the hitch
recognition feature will retract the rear jacks but will not retract the front jacks to lower the trailer to
the initial hitch height. This feature helps prevent injury and/or damage to anything underneath the
trailer.
4. Connect tow vehicle and make sure trailer and hitch are connected and locked.
5.
On the Standard Mode screen (Fig. 2) use the "UP" and "DOWN" arrows (Fig. 2B) to scroll to "AUTO
RETRACT" (Fig. 2F).
6. Push "ENTER" (Fig. 2H). System will immediately retract all jacks.
