Maintenance
Preventative
1.
Check and/or fill the reservoir with the jacks in the fully retracted position, each month. The fluid
should be one inch onto the dipstick (on models so equipped) or to the bottom of the fill port on
models without dipsticks.
2.
Change fluid every 24 months.
3.
Inspect and clean all hydraulic pump electrical connections every 12 months.
4.
Remove dirt and road debris from jacks as needed.
5.
If jacks are down for extended periods, it is recommended to spray exposed leveling jack chrome rods
with a silicone lubricant every 5 to 7 days for protection.
6.
If your coach is located in a salty environment (within 60 miles of coastal), it is recommended to spray
the rods every 2 to 3 days with a silicone lubricant.
7.
Grease the fitting on the bottom of each jack cylinder with Lithium grease every 20-30 uses.
8.
Do not use a high pressured wash/rinse system on of the components associated with the leveling
system. This includes the pump, pump motor, wiring harness, control, and touchpad. The use of a high
pressure wash/rinse system will void the warranty.
Hydraulic Fluid Recommendation
The Power Gear Electronic Leveling System is pre-filled, primed and ready to operate direct from the
manufacturer. Type “A” Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is utilized and will work. ATF with Dexron III® or
Mercon 5® or a blend of both is recommended by Lippert Components, Inc.
In colder temperatures (less than 10° F) the jacks may extend and retract slowly due to the fluid’s molecular
nature. For cold weather operation, fluid specially formulated for low temperatures may be desirable. For a
list of approved fluid specifications, see TI-188.
