JACK CONTINUES TO CLUTCH AND WILL NOT TURN OFF

• Short jack extension followed by jack retraction.

1.Put system in error mode by disconnecting one jack from power and

pressing RET and ALL. Reconnect jack to power. Manually extend
individual jacks for 10 seconds by holding down the EXT key and the
two jack keys that make up the camper corner of that jack. Listen to
insure all jacks move when manually activated. Press RET and ALL to
retract all jacks.

RED AND GREEN LIGHTS COME ON FOR A SPECIFIC JACK LOCATION

• Loss of power to jack

two jack keys that make up the camper corner of that jack. Listen to
insure all jacks move when manually activated. Press RET and ALL to
retract all jacks.

2. If jacks do not move, inspect wiring at jacks and at control board to

insure proper connection.

KEY PAD WILL NOT TURN ON

• No power to key pad

1. Check activation switch
2. Check wiring between keypad and control board.

JACKS WILL NOT MOVE

• No power to jacks

1. If emergency stop was activated by pressing any keypad button,

press ‘RET’ and ‘ALL’ to reset legs.

AUTO POSITION DOES NOT LEVEL THE COACH

• The last position in memory was not level. Leveler System always returns

to position in memory.

1. The control board must be mounted horizontally, on a solid fixed sur-

face and can not be more than 10 degrees out of level.

2. Manually set coach to desired position and program position into

memory, following the steps in the IOM.

PANEL LIGHTS BLINK “ON” AND “OFF”

• An Auto Position is not set

1.Set the Auto Position, referring to the IOM.

The following error modes are built into your system to detect prob-
lems.

FALSE RET (FULL RETRACTION) ERROR MODE

• For extensions greater than 20 seconds, if the retraction time for

any leveler is less than the extension time (indicating premature
clutching prior to full retraction), the following occurs:

1. Warning alarm will sound.
2. Power is removed from the control box disabling normal

operations. (This is done to encourage operator to do a visu-
al inspection of levelers prior to further leveling operations.)

3. The red and green LED’s for the particular leveler will blink on

and off to indicate the system is in an error mode.

• To proceed:

1. Press “ON”. This will shut the warning alarm off.
2. Visually inspect the leveler.
3. If it is required, activate levelers to correct problem.

Simultaneously press the

EXTEND

or

RETRACT

mode switch

along with the adjacent two (2) leveler switches common to
the lit LED’s. In error mode, any leveler can be activated in
this manner.

4. Complete an

ALL RETRACT

operation and system is now out of

error mode and ready for normal operations.

NO CURRENT ERROR MODE

• During any operation if no current is detected from leveler after

leveler is activated, the following occurs:

1. Warning alarm will sound.
2. Power is removed from the control box disabling normal

operations.

3. The red and green LED’s for that leveler will blink on and off

to indicate the system is in an error mode.

• To proceed:

1. Press “ON”. This will shut the warning alarm off.
2. Simultaneously hold down all four direction buttons and the

“All” button. This resets the timers so controls will detect the
next clutch.

3. Press “RET” and “ALL” buttons. The system is now out of

error mode and ready for normal operations.

If step 3 does not fix the problem, individual levelers can be
retracted by simultaneously pressing the “RET” button and the
adjacent two (2) leveler buttons common to the leveler requiring
retraction.

LEVELER CONTINUES TO “CLUTCH”

• To proceed:

1. Press “ON”. This will shut the warning alarm off.
2. Simultaneously hold down all four direction buttons and the

“All” button. This resets the timers so controls will detect the
next clutch.

3. Press “RET” and “ALL” buttons. The system is now out of

error mode and ready for normal operations.
