Leveling jacks question
We just purchased our first motorhome and I have some questions about the leveling jacks. I have read that many times using the "auto" will put the front tires off the ground. I was told by my sal...

I am guessing you have the LIPPERT COMPONENTS: LCI LEVEL-UP system? (2013-present).
That's the owners manual I downloaded as it was not in the coach when purchased.
If you haven't done so, next time out and when parked on very level (preferable a hard level surface) do the "LEVEL ZERO POINT CALIBRATION".
Level Zero Point Calibration
Before auto leveling features are available, the Level Zero point must be set. This is the point to which the
system will return when an auto leveling cycle is initiated.
To set the zero point (controller module must be fully secured in production-intent location), first run a
manual leveling sequence to get the vehicle to the desired level point. Then activate the Level Zero point
configuration mode.
This mode is enabled by performing the following sequence:
1. Turn panel off.
2. Press the Front switch 10 times (On Winnebago units, press FRONT 5 times).
3. Press the Rear switch 10 times (On Winnebago units, press REAR 5 times).
4. At this point, a tone will sound and the display will read ZERO POINT CALIBRATION.
5. Press ENTER to set the zero point.
6. Screen will then display Zero Point Stability Check and PLEASE WAIT.
7. Tone will sound and the screen will display ZERO POINT SUCCESSFUL.
8. Control will then turn off.
I plan on doing this AGAIN when I get a chance. I am hoping the AUTO LEVEL feature will work spot on afterward. AND now that I re-read the instructions, I have been doing the MANUAL leveling wrong..from the guide:
1. Push ON/OFF button on control panel. The system is now operational and the ON/OFF light will be lit.
2. Push DOWN ARROW to display MANUAL LEVEL on the screen. Push ENTER to set.
3. Push FRONT button until jacks contact the ground and lift the front of the coach 1-2 inches.
4. Push REAR button until jacks contact the ground and lift rear of coach. Keep button depressed until
level indicator displays level.
5. Push LEFT or RIGHT button. If level indicator is toward left of coach, push RIGHT button. If level
indicator is toward right of coach push LEFT button. Keep button depressed until level indicator
displays level.
Note: The right and left jacks are used to level the coach side to side. Pushing the LEFT button on the
control panel will extend both left jacks. Pushing the RIGHT button on the control panel will extend
both right jacks. Jacks always work in pairs, both front jacks; both right side jacks, etc.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 if needed.
7. Turn power off to leveling system by pushing ON/OFF button.
8. Visually inspect all jacks to ensure all shoes are touching the ground. Should one of the rear jack
shoes not be touching the ground, press the corresponding LEFT or RIGHT button to lower the noncompliant
jack to the ground.
I should have put the FRONT down BEFORE the back..learning as I go....
