Before operating the remote control electric camper
jacks, be sure to read and understand the operating
instructions that were provided with your camper
pertaining to their safe operation.
The jacks are operated with a hand held remote
control. To activate the remote, locate and press the
control switch located inside the camper, at floor
level, near the entry door. A light on the face of the
control switch will illuminate when activated. The
switch is on a time delay that will automatically shut
off approximately 10 minutes after activation. After
use, store the remote control in a secure place away
from access by children.
The hand held remote control operates on radio
frequency, which is similar to remote units for garage
doors openers. The remote is powered by a 9v
battery located under the removable cover on the
back of the remote unit. The remote has a range of
up to 20 feet from the camper. Occasional frequency
interference from other nearby remote control
devices may occur. This will only result in momentary
pauses during the extend or retract operation.
IMPORTANT! Always have a spare 9-volt battery
available for your remote control.
The frequency of your remote control unit has been
pre-set by the manufacturer. If interference problems
persist, refer to the manufacturer’s operating
instructions in your owner’s packet to change the
frequency.
The power relay (receiver) for your remote jacks is
located on the driver’s side forward most cabinet,
usually in the cabover step.
The receiver uses (4) 30 amp ATC fuses that protect
each of the jack circuits. If any of the jacks do not
operate while depressing the “All Jacks” button on the
remote, check the fuses.
To lift camper: (Extend jacks to ground)
Press and hold the “ALL JACKS” extend button. All four
jacks simultaneously extend until they touch the ground.
Release button.
The jacks may not run synchronized. This is due to the
distance each jack is located from the 12v source.
Extend front jacks first. Extend front jacks so camper is
4" higher in front than in the rear.
Once the camper front is higher than the rear, press and
hold the “ALL JACKS” button. Release the button when
the camper is at the desired height.
Make sure the
front of the camper stays higher than the rear
and is level.
Use the individual jack buttons to adjust an individual
jack. Press and hold the extend or retract buttons for
the individual jacks as needed to keep the front of the
camper 4" higher than the rear, to prevent overloading
the front jacks. Keep all corners within 4" of level with
each other.
To lower camper:
Retract rear jacks first so the camper is 4" lower in the
rear than in the front.
Once the camper has the rear lower than the front,
press and hold the “ALL JACKS” button and retract.
Release the button when the camper is at the desired
height.

The base receiver for your remote jacks is located on
the driver’s side forward most cabinet, usually in the
cabover step.
Use the individual jack buttons to adjust an individual
jack. Keep all corners within 4" of level with each other.
If the jacks keep running, push the control switch and
the light will go out. This should shut off the jacks. If
they continue to run, unplug the jack(s) from their
exterior plug and contact your Lance service center.
Note: When operating the jacks with a low 12v
automobile battery, the “ALL JACKS” extend and
retract feature may not work. In that case, use the
individual jack buttons to operate the jacks.
When operating the jacks by remote control, visually
inspect all four jacks to insure that they are responding
properly and that you are following proper lifting or
lowering camper procedures.
Do not over-extend or over-retract jacks. The electric
jack has an internal slip clutch to help prevent damage;
when clicking sound is heard, release switch.
Continuing to hold the switch will wear out the slip
clutch or cause damage to the motor.
If jacks fail to operate, check these items:
1. Be certain that the 9v battery in the remote control
unit is fresh. Keep spare batteries available.
2. The control switch light located next to the entry
must be on.
3. You are within range for the remote to operate.
4. Adequate 12v battery power is available.
5. The jack electrical cord is securely plugged into the
exterior socket.
6. Hold the remote vertically (keypad facing you) and
have it between the camper and you.
7. If other radio frequencies devices are making the
jacks pause, lift your finger from the button and
press the button again.
If the jacks still fail to operate, consult your Lance
service center for more information and help.
Manual Override Operation:
To manually extend or retract jack, unplug the jack from
the camper. Place the manual override handle into the
alignment tube and engage the drive pin. Rotate handle
to raise or lower camper.
The handle should rotate without excessive force.
Using excessive force to try and extend or retract the
jack can cause damage to the internal components of
the jack.
Swing-out Brackets: (If equipped)
To load or unload campers on dual rear wheel trucks,
swing-out brackets are installed on the front jacks to
clear the fender. To operate, follow the steps below:
1.
Lift jack from the travel notch locked position and
swing outward from the camper body.
2. Position jack so when camper jack is lowered, the
notch and raised tab engage to prevent rotation.
3. Repeat the process for the other front mounted
jack.
4. Follow the standard camper loading and removal
procedures below.
LOADING/REMOVING CAMPER
Keep children and animals away from the area when
raising or lowering the camper. Avoid putting any part
of your body under the camper during the procedure.
Do not tilt the camper sideways while raising it on the
jacks. The jacks could buckle.
Always raise or lower the camper with the front either
level or higher than the back to avoid weight transfer
and damage to jacks or cargo.
Load and unload camper on firm level ground.
Unequal load on the jacks can cause the slideout
opening to rack.
Use caution when loading and unloading the camper
on a windy day. The amount of wind that is dangerous
depends on your exposure and the weight of the
camper, etc.
ALWAYS KEEP FRONT HIGHER THAN REAR.
LOADING CAMPER ON TO TRUCK
1. Extend each jack no more than 4" at a time,
starting with the front jacks, keeping the camper
as level as possible at all times. Repeat this
25
The jacks may not run synchronized. This is due to the
distance each jack is located from the 12-volt source.
Once the camper front is higher than the rear, press and
hold the “ALL JACKS” button. Release the button when
the camper is at the desired height. Make sure the
front of the camper stays higher than the rear and
is level (side to side).
Adequate 12-volt battery power is available.
Note: When operating the jacks with a low 12-volt
automobile battery, the “ALL JACKS” extend and
retract feature may not work. In that case, use the
individual jack buttons to operate the jacks.
