Page 3: System Information
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. -
Page 4: Safety
Lippert limited warranty. The "WARNING" symbol above is a sign that a procedure has a safety risk involved and may cause death or serious personal injury if not performed safely and within the parameters set forth in this manual. -
Page 5: Preparation
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. -
Page 6: Installation
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 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. Identify the hydraulic power unit mounting location. - 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). Figure 11 depicts the hydraulic power unit installed onto the hydraulic power unit bracket. Fig.

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: Driver's Front Jack Bracket Installation
Driver's Front Jack Bracket Installation NOTE: A recommended minimum ground clearance between the bottom of the jack footpad and the ground, is 6-7" when the coach is at its maximum rated weight. When installing the jacks on a bare chassis, keep in mind that some ground clearance will be lost as the coach is built, and to adjust the installation height accordingly. -

Passenger's Front Jack Bracket Installation NOTE: A recommended minimum ground clearance between the bottom of the jack footpad and the ground, is 6-7" when the coach is at its maximum rated weight. When installing the jacks on a bare chassis, keep in mind that some ground clearance will be lost as the coach is built, and to adjust the installation height accordingly. -
Page 12: Installing The Front Crossbar
Installing the Front Crossbar NOTE: Crossbar must be installed between front two jacks. Slide the inner crossbar beam (Fig. 21A) into the outer crossbar beam. (Fig. 21B). With the backside of the flanges of the crossbar mounting "L" brackets facing the front of the vehicle (Fig. - Page 13 Fasten the crossbar bracket to the driver's side jack bracket using two 1/2" - 13 x 4" bolts (Fig. 24A), 1/2" split washers (Fig. 24B), and 1/2" - 13 lock nuts (Fig. 24C). Tighten to 90 ft/lbs. Repeat with the curbside crossbar bracket and jack bracket (Fig.

Page 14: Rear Jack Brackets And Jack Installation
Rear Jack Brackets and Jack Installation NOTE: Rear jacks are not adjustable. They can be moved up roughly 1.5" if the spacer brackets can be moved. Clearance is needed for the top hole in the chassis and there is a top flange directly above the jack. NOTE: The rear jack assemblies can be mounted on either side of the frame, outside, inside or staggered, (one inside, one outside). - Page 15 At the bottom of the inside face of the jack (Fig. 31A), remove the retract and extend port plugs and attach two JIC 90 degree elbow retract fittings (Fig. 31D). Attach the pre-measured orange retract (Fig. 31B) and black extend hoses (Fig. 31C). Repeat steps 1-7 for the opposite side.

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 18: 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 19 NOTE: Do NOT move inside coach while the system is trying to level. A leveling error code screen (Fig. 38) will appear if movement is detected. Press HOME (Fig. 38A) or MENU (Fig. 38B) icons to get out of this page. Fig.
- Page 20 The next screen that follows (Fig. 40) shows four extend buttons that activates each pair of valves, directional control valve and solenoid. The CONFIRM LEVEL button (Fig. 40E) 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 21: 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 22 Figure 43 is assigned to MANUAL MODE button from MENU screen (Fig. 42B). Each button, ex. EXTEND FRONT (Fig. 43A) is a button that operates both front jacks. Each button is a pair of jacks and only extends the jacks. Figure 44 is the screen displayed during the leveling process.
- Page 23 During the, RETRACT JACKs (Fig. 41C), or in MANUAL MODE (Fig. 42B) JACKS ARE RETRACTING screen is displayed (Fig. 46). Figure 47, 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.
- Page 24 Figure 49, RETRACT ERROR screen will appear if with ignition on and touchpad on or in SLEEP MODE (display off, power to controller still on). If the controller 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 controller), the controller enters RETRACT ALL mode.

In the event of electrical or system failure, this manual method of extending and retracting the jacks can be used. -
Page 27: Audible Alarm Modes
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. -
