Newbie question about retracting all the legs

Just bought my first 5th wheel a month ago after a few years with a TT. My question is, can I retract all the legs without being hooked to my truck? Will it balance just on the wheels, or will the nose come crashing down? Reason I ask is that my auto level system has an error that will require me to retract all legs as part of the reset procedure.

A suggestion, since you're going to be working on the front jacks, get a marker and mark the stop point on BOTH ends of the jack stroke. I know that an auto-level system =should= stop automagically, but the key word here is "should". I've seen more than one FW with yellow and red paint or tape on the jacks as warnings, especially with manual jacks.
