SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
• Please read and study the operating manual before you operate the LIPPERT HYDRAULIC LANDING GEAR.
• The LIPPERT HYDRAULIC LANDING GEAR is an electric/hydraulic system. 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 coach.
• There are no serviceable parts within the electric motor. If the motor fails, it must be replaced.
• Disassembly of the motor voids the warranty.
• Mechanical portions of the LIPPERT HYDRAULIC LANDING GEAR are replaceable. Contact Lippert Components, Inc. to obtain
replacement parts.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The LIPPERT HYDRAULIC LANDING GEAR consists of the following major components:
• LIPPERT HYDRAULIC LANDING GEAR are rated at a lifting capacity appropriate for your coach.
• LIPPERT HYDRAULIC LANDING GEAR is powered from a central 12VDC motor/pump assembly, which also includes the hydraulic oil
reservoir tank, control valve manifold, and solenoid valves.
• The LIPPERT HYDRAULIC LANDING GEAR is controlled electronically from the switch near the pump.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
The LIPPERT HYDRAULIC LANDING GEAR has been designed to require very little maintenance. To ensure the long life of your slideout
system, read and follow these few simple procedures.
1. Check the fluid level every month.
a) Check fluid only when jacks are fully retracted.
b) Always fill the reservoir with the jacks in the fully retracted position. Filling reservoir when jacks are extended will cause reservoir to
overflow into its compartment when jacks are retracted.
c) When checking fluid level, fluid should be within ¼” of fill spout lip.
2. Inspect and clean all Pump Unit electrical connections every 12 months.
3. Remove dirt and road debris from Landing Gear as needed.
WARNING!
YOUR COACH SHOULD BE SUPPORTED AT BOTH FRONT AND REARAXLES WITH JACK STANDS BEFORE WORKING
UNDERNEATH. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
4. If jacks are down for extended periods, it is recommended to spray exposed Landing Gear rod with a silicone lubricant every seven
days for protection. If your coach is located in a salty environment, it is recommended to spray the rods every 2 to 3 weeks.
