Introduction

The LCI Level-Up® Motorhome Leveling system is an electric/hydraulic system. A 12V DC power supply drives a hydraulic pump that moves fluid through a system of hoses, fittings and jacks to level and stabilize the coach. The use of the LCI Level-Up® Motorhome Leveling System to support the coach for any reason other than which it is intended is prohibited by Lippert's Limited Warranty. The LCI Level-Up® Motorhome Leveling System is designed as a "Leveling" system only and should not be used to provide service for any reason under the coach, such as changing tires or servicing the leveling system. Lippert jacks are rated at a capacity appropriate for the coach. Each jack has a 9-inch diameter (63.52 inches) footpad on a ball-swivel for maximum surface contact. Optionally, 12-inch diameter (1132 inches) footpads are available.

Each jack is powered from a central 12V DC motor/pump assembly, which includes a hydraulic oil reservoir tank, control valve manifold and solenoid valves. The leveling system is controlled electronically from the driver’s seat of the coach. The control panel is mounted in the dash. The system can be operated in a manual mode or a fully automatic mode.

Lippert Components Inc. recommends that a trained professional be employed to change the tires on the coach. Any attempts to change tires or perform other services while coach is supported by the LCI
Level‑Up® Motorhome Leveling system could result in death, serious personal injury and/or damage to
the motor home.

Prior to Operation

Selecting A Site

When the coach is parked on an excessive slope the leveling requirements may exceed the jack lift stroke capability. If the coach is parked on an excessive slope, the coach should be moved to a more level surface before the leveling system is deployed.
NOTE: EXCESS ANGLE will appear on the LCD screen if the coach is 3.5 degrees out of level front-to-rear or
side-to-side. See Touchpad Error Codes chart in Troubleshooting section.
The leveling system MUST be operated 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 neutral or park position.
4. Be sure all persons, pets and property are clear of the coach while LCI Level-Up Motorhome Leveling
system is in operation.
5. Clear all jack landing locations of debris and obstructions. Locations should also be free of depressions.
6. When parking the coach on extremely soft surfaces, utilize load distribution pads under each jack.
7. Make sure hands and other body parts are clear of fluid leaks. Oil leaks in the LCI Level-Up Motorhome
Leveling system may be under high pressure and can cause serious skin penetrating injuries.
Never lift all wheels o the ground. Lifting all wheels o the ground creates an unsafe condition
which may result in serious personal injury or death. Make sure unit is supported in accordance with
manufacturer's recommendations.
8. Never lift the coach completely off the ground. Lifting the coach so the wheels are not touching the
ground will create an unstable and unsafe condition.

Operation

Automatic Leveling Descriptive Logic

Grounding: Steps 1-3 describe the process of how the AUTO LEVEL LOGIC extends the jacks to the ground.
1. Depending on which end of the coach is lowest to the ground, the level sensor in the brain will
activate the jacks, one at a time on the lowest end first, either front or rear.
A. Ground lowest side jack first e.g., front passenger side (curbside). B. Ground remaining side jack next i.e., front driver side (roadside).
2. Together, both jacks will lift lowest end until level i.e., front of coach will lift briefly until the coach
islevel.
3. The system will then ground remaining jacks, one at a time e.g., rear jacks. A. Ground lowest side jack first e.g., rear passenger side. B. Ground remaining side jack next e.g., rear driver side.
Leveling: Steps 4-6 describe the process of how the AUTO LEVEL LOGIC levels the coach after the jacks have
been grounded. This process may repeat several times until the coach is level.
4. Front-to-rear
5. Side-to-side
6. Individual
NOTE: Minor adjustments will be made throughout the leveling process to limit or prevent frame twisting.
NOTE: After starting the automatic leveling cycle it is very important that there is no movement within the
coach until the unit is level and the green LCI logo light illuminates in the center of the touchpad. Failure to remain still during the leveling cycle may have a negative effect on the performance of the leveling system.

Automatic Leveling Procedure

Coach must be running for LCI Level-Up Motorhome Leveling system to operate.
1. Press the ON/OFF (power) button (Fig. 1K) on the touchpad to turn the leveling system on. The leveling system is now operational and the electronic level lights will activate.
2. Check to see that the Control Pad ENGAGE PARK BRAKE is engaged.
3. Press the AUTO LEVEL (Fig. 1F) button to begin the automatic leveling cycle.
4. Press the ON/OFF (power) button to turn the leveling system off.

Manual Leveling Procedure

When leveling the coach, the coach should be leveled front-to-rear first, then leveled left-to-right.
NOTE: The coach requires 12.7V DC to begin the auto leveling function. If voltage at the power unit is
below 12.7V DC, run the engine.
1. Press the ON/OFF (power) button (Fig. 1K) on the touchpad to turn the leveling system on. The leveling system is now operational and the electronic level lights will activate.
2. Press the Down Arrow button (Fig. 1B) to display "MANUAL LEVEL" on the LCD screen (Fig. 1E). Press the ENTER button (Fig. 1C) to set.
3. Press the FRONT button (Fig.1G) until the front jacks contact the ground and lift the front of the coach 1-2 inches.
4. Press the REAR button (Fig. 1J) until the rear jacks contact the ground and lift the rear of the coach. Keep the button depressed until the level indicator displays "LEVEL."
5. Press the LEFT or RIGHT button (Fig. 1H or I). A. If the level indicator is towards the left (roadside) of the coach, press the RIGHT button (Fig. 1I). B. If the level indicator is towards the right (curbside) of the coach, press the LEFT button (Fig. 1H). C. Keep either button (RIGHT or LEFT) depressed until the level indicator displays "LEVEL."
