Required for installation: • 1/2” drive Impact wrench/gun • 1/2” drive X 1 1/16” socket (6 point preferred) Process 1. Check/verify that the threads on the end of the cylinder rod are clean and not damaged. Use the nylock nut to check that it will thread (start) on the end of the rod.
- Page 7 Pump Use the 3/8-16 threaded holes in the base of the pump assembly for mounting. When installing the pump on the coach the location should provide access to: • Route the hydraulic hoses to the manifold. Fill the reservoir and monitor the fill level. •...
- Page 8 Hose connections...
- Page 9 Wire harness Route the wire harness from the pump assembly to the area where the control panel is to be mounted. • The harness needs to be routed away from moving objects, sharp edges, and high heat sources. • Use wire ties and/or loom clamps to secure in place. •...
- Page 10 ChaSsis Interface Connections The below items are designed primarily for motorized vehicles. When installing on a trailer the Ignition disable is not required and the wiring may not be present in the supplied harness. • If the pink wire is present, just tape it back. •...

- Page 12 Power Connections for Bi-Rotational Motor Pump #’s 2532, 2542 Attach a # 4 gauge wire (# 2 gauge if the run is over 12ft.) between the positive +12v terminal on the battery and the lower terminal on either one of the two motor solenoids. These terminals will have a large gauge red cable connecting them together and one of them will have a small gauge fused yellow wire.
- Page 13 Power Connections for Pump # 3195KS Attach a # 6 gauge wire (# 4 gauge if the run is over 12ft.) from the positive +12V terminal on the battery to the + terminal on the motor solenoid. There will be a yellow fused wire on this terminal. •...
- Page 14 Note: All wire gauge sizes and breaker ratings noted are the recommended size. Larger gauge wiring and higher breaker rating may be used. There may be variances on specific systems supplied to OEM customers due to the exact makeup of the system. Additional information on Power Supply connections The below is just general information to be used as a guide.
- Page 15 Purging Uni-Directional Pump #’s 1551, 3218 The jacks are shipped in the fully retracted position. This procedure also outlines the steps taken if the jacks need to be purged of air following repairs, etc. Fill the reservoir with automatic transmission fluid. (Multi-purpose or any of the Dexron fluids) Retraction Purge: The retraction side of the cylinders is the first to be purged of air.
- Page 16 Purging Bi-Rotational Pump #’s 2532, 2542, 2542KS, 3195KS This procedure must be performed with the initial installation & running of the hydraulic system and following installation of the pump assembly and jack(s). This procedure applies only to systems that are equipped with the bi-rotational pump. All electrical and hose connections must be completed before the purging process.
- Page 17 EQ Smart-Level Control Panel Programing After the system is fully installed the control panel must be programed for operation. Failure to do this will result in a failed or improper Auto Level. There are two program settings that must be programed in the following order - 1) Orientation and 2) Null.
- Page 18 Step 2 - Setting the Null Null is the term used to indicate the levelness of the coach. A Null setting should have been performed by the installer. If the coach is not level following an attempt to Auto Level, you will need to level the coach and reset the null.
- Page 19 Operation Auto Level Operation Push and release the power button to engage power. The LED light next to the power button should be lit RED when power is on. You will need to have the ignition key in the off position to extend the jacks (most applications).
- Page 20 Helpful Hints Do not allow motion in the coach during the Auto Level operation (don’t move around in the • coach). This could cause the system to fault out or level/stabilize improperly. • The Auto-Level is a microprocessor-controlled system. Proper and adequate battery voltage and permanent chassis ground are essential.
- Page 21 EQ Smart-Level Bluetooth Operation • If the face of your keypad indicates that your controller is compatible with a Bluetooth device, download EQ Smart-Level in the Android or Apple App Store. When downloading the app, make sure your Bluetooth setting is turned on or the app will not connect to your coach. Once the app is downloaded please follow the instructions to level your coach.

The only LED that should light is the OPERATING LED, which should flash during operation. ON Red when Power is ON Power LED OFF when power is OFF SLEEP MODE Flashes every 1 second...
- Page 23 Manual Override Operation The leveling system is equipped with the ability to override in the event of system failure. This will allow the jacks to be retracted so that the vehicle can be taken to a service/repair facility. The most common cause of system failure is weak/dead batteries, so it is best that the batteries be charged so that the jacks can be retracted in the normal manner.
- Page 24 If Equipped with Override Hex on Motor - Pump # 3218 • After the steps on page 23 on the valves, remove the black plastic cap from the end of the motor (Can use a small flat head screwdriver). • Place the drill with the 7/16”...
- Page 25 To Extend the Jack(s): • To extend the jack(s), follow all the above steps EXCEPT DO NOT Manually shift directional valve DV-1. • Following manual override operation, failure to return all valves to normal/original position may result in one or more jacks drifting/traveling down from their retracted (stowed) position. For cartridge valves, rotate the center 1/8”...

Questions and answers
one jack (left front) over a day or two slowly retracts on a 24 37m jayco seneca prestige what are the possible issues?
Possible issues with the left front jack slowly retracting on a Days EQUALIZER SYSTEMS EQ Smart-Level system may include:
1. Drifting/Traveling Down – One or more jacks may be drifting from their retracted (stowed) position due to hydraulic issues.
2. Cartridge Valve Issue – The center screw on the cartridge valve may need to be rotated fully counter-clockwise to ensure proper operation.
3. Low Hydraulic Fluid – Maintaining the correct fluid level in the reservoir is necessary for proper jack function.
4. Air in the Hydraulic System – Allowing 10 minutes between extending and retracting may help dissipate air.
5. Control System Issues – If the control panel is not properly programmed, it may cause improper jack operation.
6. Power/Control Failure – If there is a power failure, the system may not function correctly.
7. Improper Ignition or Park Brake Position – If the ignition key is in the wrong position or the park brake disable is connected and released, the jack may not extend or retract properly.
These factors should be checked to diagnose and resolve the issue.
