    6) that moves fluid through a system of hoses, fittings and jacks to level and stabilize the coach. Mechanical portions of the hydraulic leveling system are replaceable. Contact Lippert to obtain replacement parts. The hydraulic leveling system is primed and tested at the factory. However, the system is shipped dry to avoid hazardous material restrictions.

    Preparation Make sure to park the coach on solid and level ground. Clear all jack landing locations of debris and obstructions. Keep hands and other body parts clear of fluid leaks. Hydraulic system leaks in the hydraulic leveling system may be under high pressure and can cause serious skin penetrating injuries. Never lift the coach completely off the ground.

    Installation Prior to Installation Refer to the Hydraulic Plumbing Diagram in this manual for the following steps: Identify where the extend (Fig. 3A) and retract ports (Fig. 3B) are on the jack. Verify that the ports are clear of any residual machining metal debris. Label each jack Left Front (LF), Right Front (RF), Right Rear (RR) or Left Rear (LR).
  • Page 7: Hydraulic Power Unit Installation

    Hydraulic power unit Installation NOTE: The location where the hydraulic power unit will be installed should be as near center on the coach as possible. Install the hydraulic power unit in accordance with RVIA Gas Codes, since the hydraulic power unit connections are not spark proof.
  • Page 8 Utilizing the two holes closest to the inside of the bracket (Fig. 9A), install the hydraulic power unit to the bracket using two 3/8"-16 X 1" bolts (Fig. 10B) and nuts (Fig. 10A). NOTE: Motor must face rear of coach NOTE: Figure 11 depicts the hydraulic power unit installed onto the hydraulic power unit bracket.
  • Page 9: Hydraulic Hoses

    NOTE: Hose loops should be secured in the horizontal position to prevent trapped air pockets. NOTE: Before operating the Lippert hydraulic leveling system, make sure the system has been properly purged of air that was introduced into the hydraulic lines during the installation.
  • Page 10: Front Jack Bracket And Jack Installation

    Front Jack Bracket and Jack Installation NOTE: The E450 chassis requires certain holes on the Titan Jacks to be utilized for successful installation and system operation. Do not use other holes than the ones indicated when installing the jacks. NOTE: 6-7.5" of ground clearance is recommended between the bottom of the front jack footpads and the ground.

    Rear Jack Bracket, Jack, and Crossbar Beam Installation (Inside Mount Option) NOTE: The E450 chassis requires certain holes on the Titan Jacks to be utilized for successful installation and system operation. Do not use other holes than the ones indicated when installing the jacks. NOTE: If additional clearance is required, it may be added so long as the approach and departure angles are not interrupted.
  • Page 13 nut (Fig. 23A). Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the Titan Jack on the opposite side. NOTE: Do not torque bolts at this time as they may need to allow the jacks to swing slightly for adjustment. Slide the inner crossbar beam (Fig. 24A) into the outer crossbar beam (Fig. 24B), and slide the newly Fig.

    Battery ground cable (RVIA standard) connecting the 12V DC battery, to the ground post on the hydraulic power unit motor. NOTE: Lippert recommends connecting the ground cable directly to the battery, rather than a chassis ground point. Leveling jack status input - pressure switch.
  • Page 20: Level Zero Point Calibration

    Level Zero Point Calibration After the system is installed and power is supplied, the Zero Point needs to be calibrated on the LED touchpad controller prior to operating the jacks. Zero Point is the programmed point that the coach will return to each time the Auto Level features used.
  • Page 21 NOTE: Do NOT move inside coach while the system is trying to level. A leveling error code screen (Fig. 46) will appear if movement is detected. Press Home (Fig. 46A) or Menu (Fig. 46B) icons to get out of this page. Fig.
  • Page 22 The next screen that follows (Fig. 48) shows four extend buttons that activates each pair of valves, directional control valve and solenoid. The "CONFIRM LEVEL" button (Fig. 48E) is a latching button that zeros out the control accelerometer and stores that exact position as level. After the initial calibration, when the user presses “AUTO LEVEL”, the control recognizes that position as level and will bring the coach to that position.
  • Page 23: Prior To Operation

    The coach transmission should be in the park position. Be sure to keep hands and other body parts clear of fluid leaks. Oil leaks in the Lippert Leveling System may be under high pressure and can cause serious skin penetrating injuries.
  • Page 24 Figure 51 is assigned to “Manual Mode” button from menu screen (Fig. 50B). Each button, ex. Extend Front (Fig. 51A) is a button that operates both front jacks. Each button is a pair of jacks and only extends the jacks. Figure 52 is the screen displayed during the leveling process.
  • Page 25 Figure 55, "Parking Brake Error", will appear when no parking brake signal is received and there is no pressure switch signal indicating jacks are still retracted. Screen prompted before auto level and manual mode functions. Screen prompted for five seconds, then returns to home screen (Fig. 49). If jacks are extended and parking brake signal is lost, jacks will automatically retract.
  • Page 26 Figure 57, "Retract Error" screen will appear if with ignition on and touchpad on or in “sleep” mode (display off, power to control still on). If the control receives signal from the pressure switch (meaning the internal pressure of the hydraulic system has dropped below 2,150 psi, connection lost from pressure switch to control), the control enters retract all mode.

    Counter-clockwise for normal operation Manual Override - Power System The Lippert Leveling System can be run with auxiliary power devices like electric drills, ratchet wrenches or cordless screwdrivers. In the event of electrical or system failure, this manual method of extending and retracting the jacks can be used.

    Type “A” Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is utilized and will work. ATF with Dexron III® or Mercon 5® or a blend of both is recommended by Lippert. In colder temperatures (less than 10° F) the jacks may extend and retract slowly due to the fluid’s molecular nature.
