Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Jacks Down Alarm
The Leveling System is designed to sound an alarm and illuminate the control panel in the
event of (2) possible scenarios:
A "RETRACT" hose leaks.
The pressure holding the jacks in the retracted position falls to approximately 1500 PSI.
If the alarm sounds and the control panel illuminates and flashes while driving the vehicle:
Immediately find a place to pull vehicle off roadway.
Set the parking brake.
Inspect all jacks, hoses and valves for leaks
If no leaks are observed:
Turn the control panel ON by pressing the power button.
Press RETRACT ALL JACKS button
Wait until "JACKS DOWN" light and alarm turn off.
Inspect jacks. If jacks are retracted and no leaks are observed, vehicle can be
driven.
For prolonged travel to a service center, be sure to stop and check the disposition
of the leveling jacks every so often to make sure they are not extending.
Recommended Fluid
The leveling system is pre-filled and primed to operate direct from the manufacturer. Type
"A" automatic transmission fluid (ATF) will work. ATF with Dexron III or Mercon 5* or
blend of both is recommended by the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting information, error codes, and manual override of the power jacks can be
found in the Lippert Level UP® Motor home Leveling Owner's Manual found in your war-
ranty packet, or contact Lippert Customer Service or your dealer for additional help.

of the lane and toward approaching traffic.

of the lane and away from the traffic approaching from behind.
™ NOTE: Curves and/or hills may affect the safe placement of warning indica-
tors.
