Setting Zero Point Calibration
Zero point is the programmed point that the RVwill return to each time the
Auto Level feature is used. Zero Point is only available on the OneControl
Touch Panel.
Preventative Maintenance tips
Dexter EZ Flex Equalizer (if so equipped)
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with the Dexter EZ Flex Equalizer suspension.
This includes heavy-duty shackles and wet bolts. Wet bolts have a grease zerk attached to the
head of the bolt and a hollow channel inside going to a single hole in the middle of the bolt.
A brass sleeve (or bushing) slides over the bolt. As grease is pumped into the bolt, it exits
through the hole in the bolt lubricating the brass bushing. This improves suspension wear
and reduces the chances for failure of the shackles and bolts. Wet bolts should be greased
approximately every 3500 miles.

Stabilizer Jacks

DO NOT USE THE STABILIZER JACKS TO LEVEL THE RV.
It is important to remember that the stabilizer jacks are to be used only
for support while occupying and moving around the RV. They are not
designed to support the weight of the RV.
The stabilizer jacks must be fully retracted before moving or towing the
RV to prevent stabilizer jack damage.
Each stabilizer jack can be individually adjusted to stabilize the RV for use.
When setting up on soft ground, you may wish to place a wood pad or the equivalent under
each stabilizer jack foot to help keep the jack from sinking into the ground.
Manual Stabilizer Jacks (if so equipped)
1.
To lower each jack, insert the jack crank onto the applicable stabilizer jackshaft.
2.
Turn the crank clockwise to lower each leg until it contacts the ground and stabilizes
the RV.
To raise each jack, insert the jack crank onto the applicable stabilizer jack shaft and turn the
crank counter-clockwise.
Electric Stabilizer Jacks (if so equipped)
Control switches for the stabilizer jacks are typically located on the (door) side of the unit
above the stabilizer jack(s). To lower each jack, press the control switch until each leg con-
tacts the ground and stabilizes the unit. To raise the jack, press the control switch until the
jack is returned to the retracted position.
Manual Override
The electric stabilizer jacks may have a built in manual override system. The override
coupler is located on the end of the stabilizer jack opposite the electric motor. One of the
wire motor leads must be disconnected to prevent back loading the motor and causing more
damage.
Disconnect the battery from the system prior to manual operation.
Insert the 1/2" diameter crank handle inside the coupler. The slot in the end of the crank
handle accommodates the pin inside the coupler to allow manual extension/retraction of the
stabilizer jack. Rotate the handle clockwise to retract and counter clockwise to extend the
jack.
