atwood Levelegs 5th Wheel Leveling IOM - Manual (Page 15)

- 15 -
If the home position has not been programmed or while in error mode and all levelers are
retracted;
1. Switch Activation Switch to ON and Press the ON/OFF button to activate the system.
2. Press the EXT button and a directional button simultaneously to extend each pair of levelers at
least 2" from fully retracted position.
3. Simultaneously press and hold EXT and FRONT or RET and FRONT to position king
pin/gooseneck to proper hitch connection height.
4. Follow hitch manufacturer’s hook-up procedure to tow vehicle and connect trailer lights
harness.
5. Once RV is safely connected to tow vehicle, press and hold RET and ALL for 5 seconds to
auto retract all levelers. LEDs will go to solid green to
indicate levelers are fully retracted. A
quick visual check of ground clearance should be done to insure safe towing.
6. Press the ON/OFF button to turn key pad off and switch the Activation Switch OFF.
If the home position has not been programmed or while in error mode and all levelers are on
the ground;
1. Switch Activation Switch to ON and Press the ON/OFF button to activate the system.
2. Simultaneously press and hold RET and REAR to bring the rear levelers off the ground. There
needs to be at least 2” of ground clearance.
3. Simultaneously press and hold EXT and FRONT or RET and FRONT to position king
pin/gooseneck to proper hitch connection height.
4. Follow hitch manufacturer’s hook-up procedure to tow vehicle and connect trailer lights
harness.
5. Once RV is safely connected to tow vehicle, press and hold RET and ALL for 5 seconds to
auto retract all levelers. LEDs will go to solid green to
indicate landing gear is fully retracted. A
quick visual check of landing gear ground clearance should be done to insure safe towing.
6. Press the ON/OFF button to turn key pad off and switch the Activation Switch OFF.
NOTE: If any of the levelers were not extended more than 1" before an ALL RETRACT was
completed, the system will go into error signaled by the red and green LEDs by the discrepant leveler
flashing while an error tone is sounded. If an error occurs, repeat steps 1-3. If still unsuccessful, go to
the troubleshooting section.
These controls have the following features to facilitate leveling:
• OPTIMIZING STROKE A mathematical calculation using the percentage of currently available
stroke determines when to extend and when to retract levelers during the AUTO feature to
maximize use of total stroke, enabling the system to level more efficiently and effectively.
• FULL EXTENSION If a leveler is fully extended, its corresponding LED will indicate this and
further operation of that pair of levelers in the extend direction is prevented. If the switch is held
on, the second leveler of the pair will operate with its alternate pair partner leveler. (i.e., if the
front two levelers are extending and the left front leveler becomes fully extended, the right front
leveler will continue to operate and the right rear leveler will start to extend.) This is to keep the
frame from twisting.
• LOAD COMPENSATION If one leveler becomes disproportionally more loaded than its pair
partner, power will shut off to the first leveler. The second leveler will continue to operate until
the load is more balanced between the pair of levelers. Power to the first leveler will then
resume.
• KISS THE GROUND After AUTO positioning is complete, the system will briefly run each leveler
one at a time to confirm contact with the ground and improve RV stability.
