Leveling Jacks Operation
NOTE:
We recommend that your RV be plugged into a 120VAC
receptacle or have the generator running, during jack
and slide out operation. This will help ensure the battery
maintains proper voltage during operation.
Prior to Operation
Operate the leveling system ONLY under the following
conditions:
1. The coach is parked on a reasonably level surface.
2. The coach ‘PARKING BRAKE’ is engaged.
3. The coach transmission should be in the ‘park’ posi-
tion.
4. The ignition is in the OFF position.
5. Be sure all persons, pets and property are clear of
the coach while leveling system is in operation. If
you are operating an automatic system while the
RV is occupied, all must stay seated during the lev-
eling process.
CAUTION
To avoid possible damage to the coach, the level-
ing system, or personal injury, carefully read,
study, and understand the leveling system opera-
tional procedure as outlined in the leveling jack’s
owner’s manual before beginning the leveling
operation.
Listed below, you will find general operating procedures
for leveling jacks. While Forest River uses several differ-
ent types of leveling systems, the operation of each is
similar. If the system you have varies from the procedure
listed below, please refer to the leveling jack’s owner’s
manual that you received with your Forest River Owner’s
packet, and follow those instructions.
Auto Leveling
1. The ignition key should be in the OFF position.
2. Press the SYSTEM POWER button. The lights on
the panel will perform a 15-second diagnostic test.
(The lights will flash in a circle.)
3. When the lights stop flashing, press the AUTO but-
ton and release. The system will now begin the lev-
eling process which will take 2-3 minutes to com-
plete. (Be sure there is no movement in the coach
during the leveling process. Movement inside the
coach can interfere with the leveling sensors and
can affect the performance of the leveling system.)
4. When the leveling process is complete, the solid
green BIGFOOT logo will be lit. When this occurs,
turn the system power OFF by pressing and releas-
ing the SYSTEM POWER button.
NOTE:
The system will not operate in extend mode if the ignition
key is in the ON position. If the levelers are down and the
key is turned on, the alarm on the control panel will
sound.
Automatically Retracting the Levelers
1. With ignition in the OFF position, press the SYS-
TEM POWER button and wait for the lights to stop
flashing.
2. Press and release the RETRACT button. The sys-
tem will retract all four levelers automatically until
they are all in the UP position.
3. Turn the system OFF and do a visual check around
the coach to be sure all jacks are up before leaving.
NOTE:
Traveling with a bubble level will allow you to visually
gauge the coach’s level status from another point. Place
the bubble level on the floor in the middle of the coach
and continue leveling until the bubble is in the middle of
the leveler. (Your refrigerator will not function properly if
your coach is not level.)
Manually Extending the Leveling Jacks
1. Press the SYSTEM POWER button and wait for the
lights to stop flashing.
2. Press and hold the MANUAL button until the light
(next to the button) comes on, about 3 seconds.
This mode allows you to operate the jacks one at a
time. However, we HIGHLY recommend that you
run the jacks ONLY in pairs to avoid twisting the
frame.
3. On each of the directional buttons, FRONT, REAR,
LEFT and RIGHT, in green writing, it displays which
button operates which jack, To extend the jacks,
press any two buttons at the same time (example:
both front, both right, both rear, or both left jacks) as
indicated by the green lettering on the buttons. Con-
tinue doing this until the coach is level. (You may
want to utilize a bubble level placed in the middle of
the coach.)
Manually Retracting the Leveling Jacks
1. Press and hold the EMERGENCY RETRACT but-
ton until the system shuts off.
2. You can also retract the jacks by pressing and hold-
ing the RETRACT button while at the same time
pressing the button for the jacks that you want to
retract. (Note the green writing on the buttons, L
Front, R Front, L Rear and R Rear.)
NOTE:
Moving the jacks in pairs will help avoid twisting the
frame of the coach.
