System Overview
The Lippert 4-Point Leveling System is a fully automatic system that uses four hydraulic jacks to level your RV. The system is controlled by a user-friendly control panel that allows you to select automatic or manual mode. In automatic mode‚ the system will automatically level your RV based on sensors that measure the level of the RV.

It is also designed to be reliable and durable‚ ensuring that it will continue to work properly for many years to come.
Components
The Lippert 4-Point Leveling System consists of several key components that work together to ensure proper leveling. These include four hydraulic jacks‚ each with a corresponding control valve‚ which are responsible for lifting and lowering the RV. The system also features a control panel that allows users to activate the system‚ select automatic or manual mode‚ and monitor the leveling process. Sensors are integrated into the system to measure the level of the RV and provide feedback to the control panel. Additional components may include a battery pack for power supply‚ a hydraulic pump‚ and various wiring harnesses. The specific components may vary depending on the model and year of your RV.
Operation
The Lippert 4-Point Leveling System operates in two modes⁚ Automatic Mode and Manual Mode. In Automatic Mode‚ the system automatically levels the RV by extending or retracting the jacks based on the input from the sensors. Users can select this mode using the control panel. The system will then analyze the RV’s position and make adjustments to achieve a level position. Manual Mode gives users more control‚ allowing them to manually extend or retract each jack individually using the control panel. This mode is helpful for fine-tuning the level or addressing specific issues. Regardless of the mode selected‚ it is important to always ensure the RV is parked on a reasonably level surface before activating the system.
Automatic Mode
The Automatic Mode of the Lippert 4-Point Leveling System provides a convenient and efficient way to level your RV. To activate this mode‚ simply engage the system using the control panel. The system will then automatically analyze the RV’s position using its sensors and extend or retract the jacks as needed to achieve a level position. This mode is ideal for quickly and easily leveling your RV for camping or overnight stays. However‚ it’s important to note that while the system is designed to be user-friendly‚ it’s always crucial to ensure the RV is parked on a reasonably level surface before activating the system to ensure optimal performance.
Manual Mode
The Lippert 4-Point Leveling System also offers a Manual Mode‚ providing users with greater control over the leveling process. This mode allows you to manually extend or retract each jack individually. This can be particularly useful in situations where the automatic leveling system is unable to achieve a level position due to uneven terrain or other factors. To operate in Manual Mode‚ simply select the desired jack from the control panel and then use the up/down arrows to extend or retract the jack. This mode offers flexibility and allows for precise adjustments to achieve the desired level position. Remember‚ always exercise caution when operating the system in Manual Mode‚ ensuring to avoid any potential hazards or obstacles.
