Introduction
This manual is for 5th Wheel applications only.
Level-Up® is an Automatic Leveling system that comes installed in either a 4-point or 6-point configuration.
See Plumbing Diagrams for additional information.
The Level-Up hydraulic system is equipped with 14K aluminum landing gear and 8K aluminum leveling
jacks. The leveling jacks in the Level-Up® system work in pairs. A 12V DC electric motor drives a hydraulic
pump that moves fluid through a system of hoses, fittings and jacks to level and stabilize the 5th Wheel.
Mechanical portions of the system are replaceable. Contact Lippert Components, Inc. to obtain replacement
parts.
See Wiring Diagram for information pertaining to the electrical connections of this leveling system.

Safety
The “WARNING” symbol above is a sign that a safety risk is involved and may cause death, serious
personal injury and/or severe product or property damage if not safely adhered to and within the
parameters set forth in this manual.
Read and understand all instructions and safety labels before starting any procedures stated in this manual.
Adhere to all safety labels to prevent serious personal injury and/or product damage. Failure to follow
instructions and safety labels may void product warranty.
The Level-Up LCD 5th Wheel Leveling System is designed as a leveling system only and should not be used
for any reason to provide service under the trailer, e.g. changing tires or servicing the leveling system.
Lippert Components Inc. recommends trained professionals be employed to change the tires or perform
other services on the 5th Wheel.
The 5th Wheel MUST be supported per manufacturer's recommendations before working
underneath. Any attempts to change the tires, or perform other service, while 5th Wheel is

Maintenance
1. Remove dirt and road debris from leveling jacks and landing gear and stabilizer struts (if equipped) as
needed.
2. If jacks are down for extended periods, it is recommended to spray exposed jack tubes with a spray
lubricant every three months for protection. If the 5th Wheel is located in a salty air environment, it is
recommended to spray the jack tubes every 4 - 6 weeks.
3. Each month, check that the fluid level is within 1/4" of the fill spout lip while leveling jacks and slide-
outs are fully retracted.
NOTE: Always fill the reservoir with the leveling jacks and slide-outs fully retracted. Filling the reservoir
when leveling jacks and slide-outs are extended will cause the reservoir to overflow into its
compartment when the leveling jacks and slide-outs are retracted.
4. Inspect and clean all of the 5th Wheel's power and electrical connections prior to the first use of the
5th Wheel at the start of the traveling season and prior to storing the 5th Wheel. If corrosion is evident,
clean all corrosion with a wire brush, then apply dielectric grease to the connections.
5. Make sure to turn the manual override set screw on the valve back to the counterclockwise position
after extending or retracting the landing gear or leveling jacks.
Fluid Recommendation
The LCI Level-Up Automatic Leveling system is pre-filled, primed and ready to operate direct from
the manufacturer. Type “A” Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is utilized. Lippert Components, Inc.
recommends ATF with Dexron III® or Mercon 5® or a blend of both.
In colder temperatures, less than 10 °F, the leveling jacks and landing gear may extend and retract slowly
due to the fluid’s molecular nature. For cold weather operation, fluid specifically formulated for low
temperatures may be desirable. For a list of approved fluid specifications, see TI-188.
Or go to https://www.lci1.com/towable-br-level-up/support-towable-level-up-br-touch-pad/ , click on the
Technical Information Sheets tab, then select TI - 188: Hydraulic Operation Fluid Recommendation from the
listed documents.
