Important Warnings and Precautions

WARNING

READ ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL PRECAUTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLING, USING, OR
TROUBLESHOOTING THIS EQUIPMENT

The system operates using hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Extreme fluid pressure can be

present even if the system is not operating. System forces and pressures can cause severe
injury or death if used improperly or modified. Service work should only be performed by trained
technicians.

Do

not attempt to operate any portion of the hydraulic systems when the vehicle is in motion.

Visually confirm that all leveling jacks are retracted prior to travel.
Make sure there are no obstructions in the extend or retract paths of the jacks or slideouts.

Do

not use the leveling jacks to lift the unit to perform any kind of service work or to change
tires. The system is designed as a leveling and stabilizing system and is not meant to lift the
coach off the ground.

Do

not go under vehicle when leveling jacks are extended.

Do

not operate any system functions while anyone is under the coach.

Do

not allow excessive motion in the coach during the AUTO-LEVEL operation. This could

cause the system to level improperly.

Modification of any factory-supplied item may result in the denial of all warranty claims. Call

Equalizer Systems Technical Support prior to any modifications.

Do

not attempt any technical repairs without first consulting the troubleshooting guide in this

manual and/or calling Equalizer Systems Technical Support at [phone]. Failure to do
so may result in denial of warranty claims.

AUTO-LEVEL Operation- Keypad # 3103
Starting Date- Approximately January 2012

• Power On: Press and release the POWER button to engage power. All LED’s on the

panel will come on then most will go out. The LED next to the POWER button should be lit
RED when power is on. The ignition key will need to be in the off position and the park
brake will need to be set to extend the jacks. If you attempt Auto-Level or manual extend
you will hear a “deny” tone if the key or park brake is in the improper position.

• AUTO-LEVEL: Press the AUTO-LEVEL button and release. The system will send

out a continuous series of beeps, the ‘OPERATING’ LED will flash RED to let you

know AUTO-LEVEL is operating and will automatically level the coach. When
completed, the keypad will signal a successful level with a dual-level tone. Press
and release the POWER button. Note: The keypad may be left on once level has
been achieved. The keypad will enter “sleep mode” after five minutes of inactivity.

Note: The jacks down LED lights must be off for Auto-Level to function.
If needed, press the ALL RETRACT button to clear and then Auto-Level
should function.

• Retracting the Jacks: To retract all jacks simultaneously, press and release

the All RETRACT button. All jacks will automatically retract and return to stowed
position. The pump will run in retract mode until all of the jacks are fully stowed
(plus an additional 5 seconds) up to a maximum of 60 or 90 seconds). This is the
proper method for retracting the jacks prior to travel. You may stop the ALL RETRACT

by pressing any button on the keypad. Jacks may be retracted in pairs by using the UP▲

button for each end or side for leveling purposes however the ALL RETRACT must be
used to fully stow the jacks prior to travel. The jacks down LED’s will turn off, indicating the

jacks are in the “stowed” position.

• Power OFF: Press and Release the Power Keypad Button

SETTING THE NULL, “LEVEL POSITION”

• Setting the Null: The Null or “level position” has been preset from the factory.

However, if the coach is not level following an attempt to AUTO-LEVEL, the Null is easy
to reprogram. To set the Null, push and release the POWER keypad button to engage
power. The LED next to the POWER button should be lit RED when power is on. Level
the coach by deploying jacks manually (using the DOWN ▼ keypad buttons, extend
jacks until the coach is level), or by simply parking the coach on a level site. You do not
need to have jacks deployed to set the Null. Use a bubble level on a flat surface in the
center of the coach as a reference. Once the coach is level, turn the POWER off at the
panel. Depress and hold the AUTO-LEVEL keypad button. Continue to hold the AUTO­LEVEL button and press then release the POWER button, and listen for a series of beeps.
After the panel has beeped 5 to 6 times, release the AUTO-LEVEL button (the keypad
will continue to beep as long as the AUTO-LEVEL button is held). The new Null has been
set and the system will maintain this setting. Press and release the ALL RETRACT button
to retract the jacks to the stowed position.

*Visually confirm all jacks are retracted prior to travel.

Note: There are specific instances when manual extension of one (or more) jack is inhibited (deny tone when DOWN ▼ is depressed).
This situation is caused by the ‘anti-twist’ protocol in the software contained in the controller. Simply stated, the ‘anti-twist’ protocol

denies jack extension if the system senses that a specific corner of the coach is approximately 3 degrees higher than the rest. You will
be able to extend other jacks to overcome the slope. If the system incorrectly senses excessive slope, this can be overcome by re-
setting the Null. This will allow manual extension of all jacks. Remember to re-set the Null after manually leveling the coach.
