Manual Override for Uni-Directional Pump #’s 1551 and 3218
• The individual cartridge valves are clustered together on the side of the pump manifold. They are
labeled 1 through 4.
• Locate the screws on the appropriate cartridge valve(s). Using a 1/8” Allen wrench, turn the
screw(s) clockwise until seated in.
• Locate Valve DV-2. This will have an Allen override screw. This valve will be on the opposite side
of the manifold from the cluster of cartridge valves. Using a 1/8” Allen wrench turn the Allen screw
in until seated in.
• To retract locate DV-1. On pump # 1551 (see drawing on next page) this valve will be on the
adjacent side of the manifold to the cluster of cartridge valves. Pull the red knob out and turn 1/4
turn clockwise. The knob will remain in the ‘out’ position.
• On pump # 3218 (see drawing on next page) it is in the center section between the motor and
reservoir.
Note: This process will cause the jacks to collapse under the weight of the vehicle. Care should be taken that
no one or objects could be harmed by this occurrence. The collapse of the jacks will lower the vehicle. This
collapse is controlled (not rapid) by the system circuit design components and may be further controlled
(feathered) by use of the knob on the above DV-1 valve.
• Operate the hand pump in steady full strokes (If equipped). It may take 50 strokes or so to get the
jacks to start to move. This is a slow process, it will take many strokes to get the jacks retracted,
thus it is designed for emergency manual override usage.
• If the hand pump seems to “lock up” it is probably due to the valve/override screws not being
properly opened.
The leveling system is equipped with the ability to override in the event of system failure.
This will allow the jacks to be retracted so that the vehicle can be taken to a service/repair facility.
The most common cause of system failure is weak/dead batteries, so it is best that the batteries be
charged so that the jacks can be retracted in the normal manner.
Note: The two valves closest to the reservoir are for the front jacks.
