LIPPERT HAPPIJAC Wireless Remote Camper Jack Controller

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION

• NEVER allow the back of the camper to become higher than the front! The camper will load best and more safely if the front is kept approximately 2-4 inches higher than the rear.
• ALWAYS keep motor release/locking lever (on side of Jack) in the UP (ENGAGED) position except when the hand crank is installed
• NEVERbeyond the RED STOP LINE on jack inner leg! Jack damage compromising jack performance and safety could result in repeated over-extension.
• NEVER: Leave the jack flly retracted. Once the jacks are retracted for travel, reverse the motors and extend the jack slightly. This prevents the jack from locking up in the fully retracted position.

KEEP REMOTE UNIT DRY and AWAY FROM MOISTURE

Do not leave remote outdoors or in outside compartments when not in use. Keep inside truck or camper.

INITIALIZING & SECURING THE REMOTE SYSTEM

To initialize the REMOTE, press the “ALL UP” and “ALL DOWN” buttons at the same time. The indicator light on the REMOTE will turn green. Then press the “ACC IN” and “ACC OUT buttons simultaneously to activate the receiver. NOTE: If the indicator light on the remote does not light, open the REMOTE by removing the six screws from the back and replace the AA battery inside or plug in a coiled cord between REMOTE and RECEIVER to operate in CORDED mode. Pressing “ALL UP and “ALL DOWN” will turn the REMOTE off. Also, both the REMOTE and the RECEIVER will automatically turn off after 2 min. of non-use.

Troubleshooting Guide

MANUAL JACK OPERATION

• In the event that it becomes necessary to operate one or more of the jacks manually due to a malfunction of the system, or a dead/low camper battery condition. Follow this procedure.
•  Remove the protective weather cap & Insert the hand crank into the crank socket on the jack
• Flip the motor release/locking lever (on the side of the jack) to the DOWN position.
• This will disengage the motor head from the jack allowing it to turn freely by hand
•  Manually raise or lower jack(s) to the desired position.

CAUTION: Just as when using the remote feature, be careful to keep the camper relatively level and do not allow the front of the camper to become lower than the rear.

•  ALWAYS return the lever to the UP position when not hand cranking. This engages the motor and provides a secure lock for the jack.

IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES

When the jacks have sat unused for an extended period (over the winter, etc.).lf fully retracted, it is advisable to use the hand crank to turn each jack a few turns before engaging the motors. Place the motor release lever in down position to do this, then be sure to reset the release lever to the up (locked) position. A few drops or light spray of light penetrating oil at the interface of the crank socket and hub or in the oil hole within the hub will wick into the bushing and improve jack performance.

BASIC OPERATION

The buttons in the lighter background respond to the jack locations ( looking forward from the rear of the camper). Hence, buttons 1& 3 Control the left front jack, Duttons 2 & 4 the nght front, etc. IMPORTANT: ArTOwS on buttons indicate the direction of camper movement (red buttons raise camper, blue buttons lower camper)

SPECIAL OPERATING FEATURES

• ALL DOWN- Press and hold button 5 and all4 jacks retract to LOWER the camper.
• ALL UP-Press and hold button 6 and all 4 jacks extend to RAISE the camper.

CAUTION: Because the weight of the camper is not the same at all four comers the jacks do not raise and lower ar the Same speed. Be careful not ger the camper very tar out of level. Generally no more than 4 inches. When running all tour jacks, stop often to check the level and ensure that all 4 jacks are on the ground.

SPECIAL SAFETY FEATURES

OVER-CURRENT SHUTDOWN

When any jack reaches the end of travel, either at full retraction or full extension, an over-current situation will cause the remote to shut down the operation of all jacks and sound an alarm. Press each jack button individually in the direction of travel at the time of the Alam. when the alarm sounds again, this is the jack which has “amped out” and can De moved no further in that direction. Operation ot the other jackSIS not necro uniess or unt ey reacn te ena ortavel an amp our dsWel. A Dnd our to uneven 0adlng or te jaCKS may cause he amp out reverse tne jack, correct the load issue and continue to load unload.

OPERATIONAL TIME OUT

THE GOLDEN RULES

LOADING & UNLOADING A TRUCK CAMPER

• NEVER allow the front of the camper to become lower than the back.
• EVER back into or turn into jacks.
•  NEVER leave the camper in an elevated position supported by jacks. Lower to the ground or support weight on fixed platforms (saw horses, etc).
•  ALWAYS keep the front of the camper slightly higher than the back when in motion.
• ALWAYS keep camper level side to side.
•  ALWAYS ensure that camper is clear of truck bed when backing and pulling out.
•  STOP frequently when loading & unloading to ensure camper is level side to side and the front is slightly higher than the rear.
• ALWAYS REMEMBER that you are moving a dynamic load weighing thousands of pounds.

USE EXTREME CAUTION.

As you change levels, side to side, front to back, and corner to corner, you are shifting hundreds of pounds of weight. It is very important that the load remain as evenly distributed on all four jacks as possible. No one jack, especially when swingouts are used, will support the shifting weight of the camper ifa disproportionate load is shifted onto it! Keep the load evenly distributed!
