Maintenance
Preventative Maintenance Procedures
1. Change fluid in reservoir only every 36 months.
A. Check fluid only when jacks and slideouts are fully retracted.
B. Always fill the reservoir with the jacks and slideouts in the fully retracted position. Filling reservoir
when jacks are extended will cause reservoir to overflow into its compartment when jacks and
slideouts are retracted.
C. When checking fluid level, fluid should be within 1/4” of fill spout lip.
2. Check the fluid level every month.
3. Inspect and clean all Pump Unit electrical connections every 12 months. If corrosion is evident, spray
unit with WD-40 or equivalent.
4. Remove dirt and road debris from jacks and slideout arms as needed.
Fluid Recommendation
The Lippert Electronic/Hydraulic Leveling and Slideout System is pre-filled, primed and ready to operate direct
from the manufacturer. Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) with Dexron III or Mercon 5 or a blend of both is
recommended by Lippert Components, Inc.
5. If jacks are down and slideouts extended for long periods, it is recommended to spray exposed leveling
jack and slideout cylinder rods 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 days.

Troubleshooting
The Lippert Electronic/Hydraulic Leveling and Slideout System is a new feature that allows the owner more options
and flexibility for quickly and effectively leveling the coach. It is a totally integrated system with your coach’s
chassis and electronics.
Every coach has it’s own personality and what may work to fix one coach may not work on another, even if the
symptoms appear to be the same.
When something restricts mechanized travel, system performances will be unpredictable. It is very important
that leveling legs be free of contamination and allowed to travel freely the full distance. Dirt, sand, mud and other
contaminant buildup during travel and can be potentially damaging to the performance of the system.
When beginning to troubleshoot the system, make sure the battery is fully charged, there are no visible signs of
external damage to the legs, motor or hoses and that the motor is wired properly and all connections are secure.
