- Page 1 #0820v2 USER MANUAL LEVELING SYSTEM OPERATION FOR CENTRAL AND QUAD PUMP SYSTEMS FOR MOTORIZED OR BUMPER PULL APPLICATIONS BIGFOOTLEVELER. Quadra Manufacturing Inc. 305 US 131 SOUTH WHITE PIGEON, MI 49099 800-752-9815 (PHONE) 269-483-9636 (FAX...
- Page 2 1st Identify your leveling system… There are two four point system types: central pump (one pump with a manifold and valve assembly to the left of the motor) and the quad pump (four smaller power units). Then follow the manual by looking for titles of your specific system. Start with mounting the cylinders, then tank assembly, install hydraulic hose and wiring harnesses, electrical controls, finally hook to battery, test and bleed lines.
- Page 3 Automatic Leveling Control CAUTION WHEN OPERATING: Rear tires must maintain contact with the ground as the bolt-on system is not designed for this and the jacks may shift. Front tires are typically OK to leave the ground, as they may need to do so to level. IF ALL LIGHTS ARE FLASHING, SEE “PROGRAMMING OR ZERO MODE”...
- Page 4 THEY ARE INDICATING THE LOW POINTS OR “LEVEL STATUS” OF THE VEHICLE. STORING PROGRAM, WAIT FOR IF “AIR DUMP” LIGHT FLASHING… BIGFOOT LIGHT TO COME ON. SYSTEM RUNNING AUTOLEVEL IF “AUTO LEVEL” LIGHT IS ON… PROGRAM, WAIT TO FINISH OR RETRACT.
- Page 5 2. Enter zero or programming mode by turning the panel on, diagnostic lights will cycle, then press FRONT RIGHT (top button over Bigfoot logo) button five times, then REAR LEFT button five times (not too fast or too slow, standard second count).
- Page 6 Then repair switches and return to proper installation. This is for disabling alarm only while camping, Quadra does not recommend putting the vehicle in gear with this setup. Pump does not shut off when cylinders are fully retracted…...
- Page 7 Panel Troubleshooting The FRONT, RIGHT, REAR or LEFT cylinder lights are flashing. This is indicating the low points of the coach as it sits, nothing is wrong with the control; it is constantly monitoring the level status of the vehicle. Our panel will shut off by automatically after five minutes of no use.
- Page 8 Panel won’t turn on, system won’t run, clicking noise, FRONT & REAR lights flash… Battery low, panel won’t turn on = coach battery, the system relies on the house battery. The battery needs to be nearly 100% charged for the system to work, it doesn’t make a difference if the coach is new, that doesn’t mean the battery is fully charged or even good.
- Page 9 Platinum Control (“PC” part #’s) Panel Operation Manual Version C Operation on next page, but here are some Platinum Panel operational notes… System typically connected to the RV “house” batteries. The POWER, START and RETRACT ALL buttons have a 1-2 second hold time for safety (in case button was un- intentionally bumped).
- Page 10 Replacement part #M37905 CAUTION WHEN OPERATING: Rear tires must maintain contact with the ground as the bolt-on system is not designed for this and the jacks may shift. Front tires are typically OK to leave the ground, as they may need to do so to level.
- Page 11 (you will hear the pump change tone). Platinum systems come with a one year limited warranty. If you ever have any questions or issues please feel free to call and speak with someone in tech support at Quadra Manufacturing, 800-752-9815.
- Page 12 Quad Pump Manual Control Simultaneous and individual operation makes this control great for many applications. Individual all up indication when each cylinder is fully retracted, (“JACKS UP” lights). Ignition safety feature, disables extend functions when ignition is on. One touch retract (all four jacks), automatically cuts power to each pump as they retract. Ignition alarm if one or more jacks are not fully retracted when ignition is on, audible alarm will sound.
- Page 13 For most Bigfoot landing gear and leveling systems… #1. Check the power supply to the Bigfoot system, RV house batteries, diesel chassis battery, trailer battery, etc. Test the voltage under load by using a volt meter and test your voltage with the system pump operating, if this drops below 10- 11 volts, you may need to look into replacing the battery or batteries.
- Page 14 Common Troubleshooting… Most tech support common calls Most issues we receive are power related. Always check power and ground wire connections first. Check power level of battery under load (place volt meter on battery then press and hold EMERGENCY RETRACT on control to see if voltage drops).

- Page 18 Central Pump Systems… Tank Assembly will be pre-assembled & pre-wired direct from factory. - Mount the pump using a minimum of two 7/16” bolts, nuts & lock washers. - Plumbing is shown in Fig. 2 below, use 9/16” wrench and be careful not to under or over-tighten the hydraulic fittings. Sometimes marking the hydraulic lines with tape may make it easier.
- Page 19 Quad Pump Systems… IF YOUR SYSTEM IS EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL OVERRIDE, REMOVE RUBBER PLUG ON TOP OF PUMP MOTOR AND INSERT HEX KEY, TURN WITH DRILL TO OPERATE JACK UP/DOWN Mounting Tank Assemblies Our tank assemblies are weather resistant and must be mounted vertically and can be mounted externally on the vehicle’s frame by drilling holes in the frame or welding a bracket, tanks can be mounted to a cylinder bracket or inside a storage box.

The Central Pump Automatic & Platinum systems harness is similar except that the leads to each corner or jack have only a tan & black wire that plugs into the limit switch and the end of the harness with the 14-pin connector plugs into the pump while the end with the 14-pin &...
