Lipert 4 pt electric leveling ques.

[Jgeorger1]

Hi All,
Called the Lipert Customer Service line today to ask about an Out of Stroke message my Montana is throwing when the jacks are nowhere near the end of their stroke. ( I was able to level manually, and the jacks extended past the point whare the message occu?red. I was told the code was generated by motor amp draw, which I accepted. However there was not much in the way of solution offered.
Is there a chance something else is going on, like the system being out of calibration? The site was blliard table level.
Is there a way to lubricate the jack, assuming some type of worm gear?
Thanks.

I have a Cougar 333MKS with the Lippert 4 point system and had the same message. Read on one of the RV sites to reset it, manually retract each leg one at a time. Let it cool off powered down for a few minutes then power back up. It resets and would auto level again. This worked for me. Good luck.

Ok on the electric system but the wiring and breaker still applies. The controller monitors the battery voltage and if it drops too low the current draw is considered high.

I will check the wiring connections, each corner has a motor, as it is not a hydraulic system. At some point, I think I will check the "zero" settings on the controller with a level placed on the floors. I assume that once you are bubble level, zeroing the system will accept that status a 0 degrees on both planes.

If the code (as Lippert stated) is generated by current drawn by the pump motor then go thru your pump motor's wiring and clean/tighten all the connections. A bad connection can cause low voltage and as the voltage goes down the current draw goes up. Voltage drop can also be caused by a bad 50a breaker.

Hint: The usual suspect is the battery's ground connections. followed by the breaker.

I used to get that message when I put the front jacks extensions too far down with the locking pins before I use the system. On an uneven slope the rears can't extend down far enough and the fronts can't retract enough to compensate for the height that I sent the extensions too. Now I only pre-extend the fronts into the first 4 or 5 holes

I have the six point electric system and received the same error code. I called and received the same reply from them, "No help". Before my warranty is over, taking it to the shop.

Have you re-zeroed it? There is a specific order of button pushing.

I had a similar thing happen to me but I also received error on one of the jacks. took it to the shop and the dealer had to replace the jack motor.
