Safety Information

Failure to follow the instructions provided in this manual may result in death, serious injury, unit

damage, or voiding of the component warranty.

The coach MUST be supported per manufacturer's specifications before working underneath. Failure

to do so may result in death or serious injury.

Always wear eye protection when performing service or maintenance to the vehicle. Other safety

equipment to consider would be hearing protection, gloves and possibly a full face shield, depending

on the nature of the service.

Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.

NOTE: Lippert Components, Inc. recommends that the following inspections, troubleshooting, component

replacement, and verifications be completed only by certified RV technicians.

• Cordless or Electric Drill or Screw Gun

• Appropriate Drill/Drive Bits

• Tape Measure

Installation

Racks

1. Mount racks onto a solid surface (Fig. 1) under the bed with #10 screws (a minimum requirement),

filling every hole in the rack (Fig. 2).

NOTE: Make sure racks are parallel to each other.

2. The back of the rack should be ½" away from the outside wall of the bed slide to ensure there is

enough space for the bed tilt to fully operate (Fig. 3).

Bed Support

NOTE: It is recommended to mount 2 x 2 square aluminum tubing across the bed tilt in order to stabilize

assembly (Fig. 4).

NOTE: The tubing is not provided.

1. Bolt head (Fig. 5A) and foot (Fig. 5B) plywood pieces to the mechanism to provide the platform for the

mattress (Fig. 5 & 6).

2. Measure the space between the head and foot. There should be a minimum 3 ½" gap between

the two pieces of plywood when the bed tilt is extended to ensure that they do not touch when

retracted (Fig. 5).

3. Place the mattress on top of the plywood once it is secure (Fig. 7).

4. Place strap over the mattress to secure it in place.

Calibration

NOTE: The controller is not shipped in calibration mode. To enter calibration mode from normal mode,

hold down the configuration button for five seconds (Fig. 8A).

To calibrate the stops:

1. Flashing red LED indicates that the upward limit needs to be set (Fig. 8C).

2. Use the wall switch to move the unit to the desired top position (Fig. 9B).

3. When at the desired top position, press the configuration button (Fig. 8A).

4. The top limit is set.

5. Flashing green LED indicates that the downward limit needs to be set (Fig. 8B).

6. Use the wall switch to move the unit to its desired downward position (Fig. 9A).

7. When at the desired downward position, press the configuration button (Fig. 8A).

8. The downward limit is set.

9. Once the downward limit is set, both Red and Green LEDs will blink simultaneously for a moment (Fig.

8B; 8C).

10. Both limits have been set successfully.

NOTE: If an error occurs during this configuration, the Red and Green LEDs will quickly alternate flashing.

NOTE: To reset the stops, press and hold the configuration button for five seconds. This will allow the

system to enter calibration mode.

Troubleshooting

1. Locate controller (Fig. 10).

2. Activate switch.

3. Look for the status LEDs on the controller to light while switch is activated.

4. If status LEDs do not light, and no error codes are present, check the following:

A. Check for 12VDC in to controller (Fig. 10A, B).

B. Check for 12VDC at switch connection on both extend and retract (Fig. 11).

C. Check the battery for 12VDC.

5. If error codes are present, refer to the Error Code Chart below.

Error Code Chart

For motor-specific faults, the green LED will blink. The red LED will blink from 2 to 9 times depending on the error

code.

Error

Code Name Description

2 Battery Drop Out Battery capacity low enough to drop below

6 volts while running

3 Low Battery Voltage below 8 volts at start of cycle

4 High Battery Voltage greater than 18 volts

5 Excessive Motor Current High amperage

6 Motor Short Circuit Motor or wiring to motor has shorted out

8

Hall Signal Not Present

Wire Short Between

Controller and Motor

Encoder is not providing a signal, which is

usually a wiring problem

9 Hall Power Short To Ground Power to encoder has been shorted to

ground, which is usually a wiring problem

When an error code is present, the board needs to be reset. Energizing the extend/retract

switch resets the board. Energize the extend/retract switch again for normal operation.
