Prior to Operation
The leveling system shall only be operated under the following conditions:
1. The unit is parked on a reasonably level surface.
2. Be sure all persons, pets and property are clear of the unit while LCI Level-Up Automatic System is in
operation.
3. Ensure the battery of the unit is fully charged or that the unit is plugged into shore power prior to
attempting to operate the system. Level-Up requires a minimum of 12V DC from the battery for proper
operation.
Operation
Basic Jack Operation
1. Landing gear Jacks
Landing gear jacks can be operated any time the system is “ON” but NOT in the “AUTO MODE.” By pushing
the “FRONT” button (Fig. 1G), both front or landing gear jacks can be extended. If the touch pad is put in the
“RETRACT” mode, indicated by the orange illuminated LED next to the “RETRACT” button (Fig. 1D), the front
jacks can be retracted together by pushing the “FRONT” button.
2. Level-Up jacks
The Level-Up jacks operate when the “AUTO MODE” is activated or the touch pad is in the “MANUAL MODE.”
Once system is in “MANUAL MODE,” pressing the “REAR” button (Fig. 1J) will extend all Level-Up jacks at the
same time. Press the “LEFT” or “RIGHT” buttons (Fig. 1H and 1I) to operate Level-Up jacks on the left or right
side of the unit, respectively.

Rev: 04.05.2018 Page 8 Level-Up Towable Owner's Manual
Zero Point Calibration
The “Zero Point” is the programmed point that the unit will return to each time the Auto Level feature is used.
The “Zero Point” must be programmed prior to using the Auto Level feature to ensure the proper operation of the
system.
NOTE: Prior to starting this procedure, double check all connections on the controller, jacks, and touch pad.
1. Manually run the jacks to level the unit. This is best achieved by placing a level in the center of the unit
and leveling it both front to back and then side to side. (See “Basic Jack Operation” for instructions on
how to manually operate the system).
2. Once the unit is level, turn off the touch pad.
3. With the touch pad off, press and release the “FRONT” button (Fig. 1G) ten (10) times and then press
and release the “REAR” button (Fig. 1J) ten (10) times.
4. The touch pad will flash and beep and the display will read “ZERO POINT CALIBRATION ENTER to set,
Power to Exit” (Fig. 5).
5. To set the current position as the zero point, press the “ENTER” button (Fig. 1C).
6. LCD display will read “Zero Point stability check” (Fig. 6).
7. LCD display will read “Zero point set successfully” once process is complete (Fig. 7).
8. The system will set this point as its level state and the touch pad will turn off.

Troubleshooting
Error Display in LCD Screen
NOTE: To clear Error Code, push "ENTER" - If error remains, the code will appear again.
Maintenance
1. Each month, check that the fluid level is within ¼" of the fill spout lip while jacks and slide-outs are fully
retracted.
NOTE: Always fill the reservoir with the jacks and slide-outs in the fully retracted position. Filling reservoir
when jacks and slide-outs are extended will cause reservoir to overflow into its compartment when
jacks and slide-outs are retracted.
2. Inspect and clean all power unit electrical connections prior to the first use of the unit of the season
and prior to storing the unit. If corrosion is evident, clean all corrosion with a wire brush and apply
dielectric grease to the connections.
3. Remove dirt and road debris from jacks as needed.
4. If jacks are down for extended periods, it is recommended to spray exposed leveling jack rods with a
silicone lubricant every three months for protection. If the unit is located in a salty air environment, it is
recommended to spray the rods every 4 to 6 weeks.
Fluid Recommendation
The Lippert Electronic Leveling System is pre-filled, primed and ready to operate direct from the
manufacturer. Type “A” Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is utilized and will work. ATF with Dexron III® or
Mercon 5® or a blend of both is recommended by Lippert Components, Inc.
In colder temperatures (less than 10° F) the jacks may extend and retract slowly due to the fluid’s molecular
nature. For cold weather operation, fluid specially formulated for low temperatures may be desirable. For a
list of approved fluid specifications, see TI-188.

Manual Override
The LCI Level-Up Automatic Leveling System can be manually operated with an electric drill. In the event of
electrical or system failure, this manual method of extending and retracting the jacks can be used. See the
instructions below.
NOTE: Unhook the power unit motor from the power source prior to attempting the manual override
procedure.
1. Locate the valves that are paired with the landing gear or leveling jack to be manually overridden.
A. Landing Gear - Valve located on the landing gear (Fig. 8).
B. Leveling Jacks - Valve located on manifold (Fig. 9).
2. Using a ⁄” hex wrench, open the valve by turning the manual override set screw clockwise (Fig. 10A).
3. Remove protective label (Fig. 11A) from power unit to reveal the manual override coupler.
4. Using an electric drill with a ¼" hex bit, insert the hex bit into the manual override coupler to manually
operate the Level-Up system (Fig. 12).
A. Run the drill forward (clockwise) to retract the landing gear or leveling jack (Fig. 12A).
B. Run the drill in reverse (counterclockwise) to extend the landing gear or leveling jack (Fig. 12B).
5. Be sure to turn the manual override set screw on the valve (Fig. 13A) back to the counterclockwise
position after extending or retracting the landing gear or leveling jack.
