Section 4: Vehicle Operation
completed, the keypad will signal a successful level with a dual-level tone. The
keypad may be left on once level has been achieved. The keypad will enter "sleep
mode" after five minutes of inactivity.
Retracting the Jacks: The Equalizer System provides the ability to retract the
jacks using the ALL RETRACT button or the UP button for each individual jack.
All jacks will automatically retract and return to stowed position when the ALL
RETRACT button is pressed and released. The pump will run in retract mode for
60 seconds (or 90 seconds, depending on your specific system) to ensure the jacks
are fully stowed. You may allow the system to run for the entire programmed
time and stop automatically, or you may stop the ALL RETRACT by pressing any
button on the keypad.
Manual Operation
Power on: Push and release the POWER keypad button to engage power. The LED next to
the POWER button should be RED when power is on. If you attempt to extend individual
jacks by pressing the DOWN keypad button or all jacks with the AUTO-LEVEL button, you
will hear a "deny" tone from the keypad.
Planting the Jacks: Using the DOWN keypad button, extend each jack until they
contact the ground (this is referred to as "planting" the jacks).
As you extend the jacks, the LED lights on the keypad will indicate the jacks are
out of the "stowed" position. Jacks may be operated individually or in pairs.
Do not manually overextend individual jacks. This may cause unwanted
stress on the coach or the jacks.
Leveling the Coach: Use a bubble level in
the center of the coach as a reference. Level
the vehicle by using DOWN or UP keypad
buttons until the vehicle is level. Jacks may
be operated individually or in pairs as long
as they are operated in the same direction.
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle off of the
tires. The keypad may be left "on" once
level has been achieved. The keypad will
enter "sleep mode" after five minutes of
inactivity.
Retracting the Jacks: The Equalizer System provides the ability to retract the
jacks using the ALL RETRACT button or the UP button for each individual jack.
All jacks will automatically retract and return to stowed position when the ALL
RETRACT button is pressed and released. The pump will run in retract mode until
all of the jacks are fully stowed (plus an additional 5 seconds) up to a maximum
of 60 seconds. You may stop the ALL RETRACT by pressing any button on the
keypad.
™ NOTE: Your coach is equipped with air suspension, and it is recommended
that you start your coach before pressing ALL RETRACT allowing the chas-
sis air to build. This will ensure adequate air supply to the chassis air valves.
™ NOTE: There are specific instances when manual extension of one (or more)
jack is inhibited (deny tone when DOWN is depressed). This situation is
caused by the "anti-twist" protocol in the software contained in the control
box. The "anti-twist" protocol denies jack extension if the system senses that
a specific corner of the coach is approximately 3 degrees higher than the rest.
You will be able to extend other jacks to overcome this slope. If the system
incorrectly senses excessive slope, this can be overcome by re-setting the base-
line zero point. This will allow manual extension of all jacks. Remember to
re-set the baseline zero point after manually leveling the coach.
