If you have a lead acid battery reading 12.0 volts that equates to about 45% state of charge.

    Full charge is 12.6 volts. If it reads 12.0 while the hydraulic pump is running that would be normal. It will probably read close to 12.6 when the pump is off

NOTE: Prior to starting this procedure, double check all connections on the controller, valve coils, jacks, and touch pad.
    1. Manually run the jacks to level the trailer. This is best achieved by placing a level in the center of the trailer and leveling it both front to back and then side to side.
    2. Once the trailer is level, turn off the touch pad.
    3. With the touch pad off, press and release the “FRONT” button ten (10) times and then press and release the “REAR” button ten (10) times.
    4. The touch pad will flash and beep and the display will read “ZERO POINT CALIBRATION ENTER to set, Power to Exit” (Fig.27).
    5. To set the current position as the zero point, press the “ENTER” button.
    6. LCD display will read “Zero Point stability check” (Fig.28).
    7. LCD display will read “Zero point set successfully” once process is complete (Fig.29).
    8. The system will set this point as its level state and the touch pad will turn off.

    Edit: Obviously some controllers are different. This works for mine.
    Jim thank you for this, I tried it last night and worked perfectly! I did buy 2 new batteries but have not installed them yet, the auto level worked fine on the old batteries. Does anyone know if I lose the auto level again when I unhook the old batteries to replace them?

    The six-point hydraulic systems do not have the pin-adjustable struts that the electric systems on the Reflections do. They are solid, round steel struts that move in and out of the hydraulic cylinder.

    It should NOT loose zero point calibration when changing the batteries.

    No, you should not loose the zero point calibration when you remove/replace the batteries. At least it does not on our trailer. However, you will loose the "hitch height" setting when you disconnect the battery(ies). Hitch height is set each time you you hit the "Auto Level" button.

    You were right. I put the new batteries in today and tried auto level again, worked perfect! The hydraulic motor even sounded peppier with new batteries.

    Glad that worked for you. I have found the Lippert system in our Solitude (and I think others) is very sensitive to low voltage. Unfortunately, at low voltages it will/may still work, but can have problems. So there can be a large "will not work properly" range (low voltage) before it actually stops working. Hope the new batteries solve all your problems for a long time.
