Ground Control® 3.0 leveling system to support the trailer for any reason other than which it is intended is prohibited by Lippert’s limited warranty. The Lippert leveling system is designed as a “leveling” system only and should not be used to provide service for any reason under the trailer such as changing tires or servicing the leveling system.
Preparation Analyze the trailer. Determine where the rear jack brackets, controller and touch pad will be mounted on the trailer. The rear jack brackets should be mounted approximately 1' behind the rear axle hanger and be aligned with each other. Jack brackets may already be pre-installed by LCI. The controller should be mounted in an under-floor compartment, as far forward as possible, in the center of the trailer (if possible), and in compliance with RVIA Gas Codes, as the controller connections are not spark-proof.
Determining the Mounting Position of the Controller and Rear Sensor Fig. 3 Controller Front of Trailer The controller has a limited mounting area for proper performance. At the center of the frame (signified by the blue dotted line in Fig. 3) and Section A at the center of the landing gear (signified by the black dotted line) is a center point.
Installation Fig. 5 Rear Jacks Determine position and ground clearance requirements for the rear jacks (Fig. 6D). Optional The rear jack brackets (Fig. 6B) should be Standard Short mounted approximately 1' behind the rear Jack Jack axle hanger and be aligned with each other. NOTe: When fully retracted, the rear jacks should be mounted to achieve a ground clearance equal to the departure angle...

NOTe: The following process will be repeated for both sensor installations. NOTe: Leveling sensor mounting plate may already be pre-installed by LCI. Dry fit the mounting plate (Fig. 8C) and the leveling sensor (Fig. 8B) to the crossmember (Fig. 8A). The pre-drilled holes in the plate are for mounting the sensor to the plate.
PN 433940 is used for the 6 point controller. Rev. A controllers have an A on the serial number sticker and black Lippert part numbers, while Rev. B controllers have a B on the serial number sticker and blue Lippert part numbers. The serial number stickers are located in the top left corner on the back of the controller.
Touch Pad Determine where to mount the touch pad. The touch pad should be mounted in a compartment on the side of the trailer so the operator will have a view of the coupler while using the touch pad. Remove the faceplate of the touch pad (Fig. 14A) from the mounting bezel (Fig. 14B). Cut a hole in the wall of the compartment 3 3/8”...

Prior to Operation The leveling system should only be operated under the following conditions: The trailer is parked on a reasonably level surface. Be sure all persons, pets, and property are clear of the trailer while the leveling system is in operation. Make sure battery(ies) are fully charged and test at 12+VDC under load.
Basic Jack Operation Be sure to park the trailer on solid, level ground. Clear all jack landing locations of debris and obstructions. Locations should also be free of depressions. When parking the trailer on extremely soft surfaces, utilize load distribution pads under each jack. People and pets should be clear of trailer while operating leveling system.
Zero Point Calibration The “Zero Point” is the programmed point that the trailer will return to each time the Auto Level feature is used. NOTe: Prior to starting this procedure, double check all connections on the controller, jacks, and touch pad. In manual mode, run the jacks to level the trailer.
Auto Level After unhitching from tow vehicle and parking the vehicle at a safe distance away from the trailer, press the “ON/OFF” button (Fig. 18K) and then press “AUTO LEVEL” (Fig. 18F). NOTe: Once the automatic leveling cycle has been started, it is important that there is no movement in the trailer until the trailer has completed the leveling process.
Troubleshooting Touch Pad Error Codes NOTe: To clear an error code from the touch pad, repair or otherwise correct the issue, then press “ENTER.” If the error is still present, the message will be displayed again. LCD Message What's Happening? What Should Be Done? Controller not properly secured.
Special Jack Error Codes To clear 1 of the error codes listed below: Correct or otherwise repair the issue (see the table below). NOTe: In order to clear the special jack error code the jacks need to be "homed." In order to "home" jacks, each jack MUST be able to 6"...
