Audible Alarm Modes

• Parking brake alarm, enabled from software while ignition is on, display is in sleep mode or on, related to 

loss of signal from parking brake (user dis-engages parking brake) while pressure switch signal is received 

(jacks are down). Alarm to sound two seconds ON, two seconds OFF, repeat until ignition off or signal is 

received from parking brake or signal is lost from pressure switch (indicating jacks retracted) for software to 

shut off alarm.

• Leveling complete chime, small collection of chimes or light beeps to indicate to user that leveling has 

successfully completed, can be tied to “Leveling Success!” screen. Only few seconds long.

Fluid Recommendation

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. For cold weather operation, fluid specially formulated for low temperatures may be desirable.  

For a list of approved fluid specifications, see 

TI-188

.

Preventative Maintenance Procedures

1. 

Change fluid in RESERVOIR ONLY when contaminated.

A.  Check fluid only when jacks are fully retracted.

B.  Always fill the reservoir with the jacks in the fully retracted position.  Filling reservoir when jacks 

are extended will cause reservoir to overflow into its compartment when jacks are retracted.

C.  When checking fluid level, fluid should be within 

¼”

 of fill spout lip.

2. 

Check the fluid level every month. 

3. 

Inspect and clean all Pump electrical connections every 12 months.  If corrosion is evident, spray coach 

with WD-40 or equivalent.

4. 

Remove dirt and road debris from jacks as needed.

5. 

If jacks are down for extended periods, it is recommended to spray exposed leveling jack rods with a 

silicone lubricant every three months for  protection. If your coach is located in a salty environment, it 

is recommended to spray the rods every 4 to 6 weeks.
