LEVELERS WILL NOT MOVE

 

No power or signal to levelers
1. Check the circuit breaker and reset if necessary.
2. Insure the Activation Switch is in the ON position.
3. If emergency stop was activated by pressing any keypad button during an AUTO function (the

four keypad lights should be blinking green) and the rear levelers are extended, press RET
and ALL and hold for 5 seconds. If rear levelers are fully retracted skip to step 3.

4. Manually set preferred hitch detachment position by pressing EXT and FRONT or RET and

FRONT as needed.

5. Connect the RV to the truck and press RET and ALL and hold for 5 seconds to reset legs.
6. The system will never let you manually retract levelers past the point where they originally

touched the ground.  Try manually extending pairs of levelers by pressing EXT and then the
directional button of the side of the RV that needs to be lifted.

Emergency stop of AUTO sequence
1. If any button was pressed during the Auto Position sequence, movement of all levelers will

immediately stop

2. To resolve, continue from step 2 above.

AUTO POSITION DOES NOT LEVEL THE RV 

If the keypad gives a signal that an unsuccessful level sequence was completed (rotating red
circle of lights),
1. Turn off the keypad by pressing the ON/OFF button.  Press again to turn the keypad back on.

If one of the lights is solid red, a leveler has reached its limit, meaning:

2. The ground is too uneven.  Find a more level spot and try again.  The EXT and RET lights will

blink together if the ground is too sloped.

If the keypad gives a signal that a successful level sequence was completed (rotating green circle
of lights for 5 seconds):, but the RV is still not level,:
1. The last position in memory was not level. Leveler System always returns to the position in

memory.

2. Press the AUTO button again.  If no levelers move, then:
3. The control board must be mounted horizontally, on a solid fixed surface and can not be more

than 10 degrees out of level.

4. Manually set RV to desired position and program position into memory, following the steps on

page 13.

NO LEVELERS MOVE WHEN AUTO IS PRESSED 

An Auto Position is not set (keypad lights will blink)

Set the Auto Position, referring to page 13. 

Excessive tilt

1.

The yellow EXT and RET lights will blink together if the RV is located on sufficiently sloped
ground.

a.

The EXT and RET lights will blink slowly as a warning if the RV is more than 4° out of level

b.

The EXT and RET lights will blink quickly if the RV is more than 6° out of level. The system

will not run an AUTO sequence in this case.

2.

If the EXT and RET lights blink quickly, the system will not run an AUTO sequence.  To
proceed, either:

a.

Move the unit to more level ground and try again.

b.

Press EXT and ALL and FRONT to get the front levelers on the ground. Once grounded

press EXT and ALL and REAR to ground the rear levelers, then manually level the unit as
defined on page 13.
