Reset the level

I need a little guidance re the level up system. I am new to this 6 point level system and am wondering how to re level the rig. We have been here for several weeks and the rig may have settled during that time. We have had several rain storms. How would one go about re leveling the Monty? Is it as dimple as turning it on and hiting the level button or is there something else I have to do?

I believe you just tell it to Auto Level. Be aware - it will probably drop the nose and start over, so make sure everything is out of the way.

I have never done it, but I would manually retract the 4 rear pads and then hit auto level. As stated above, watch out for nose drop.

I have had occasion to re-level. If the system detects it is unlevel, no retraction is necessary, just push "Auto Level". If you feel it is not level and the system thinks it is, first make it unlevel manually and then "auto level". Still not happy? You may have to recalibrate the system. It's not hard to do.

That is the way to do it. No problem.

When you start, raise front until digital reads a + number before you press auto level.

Before doing anything you can scroll through the menus using the up or down arrows. You will eventually find the "side to side" and "front to rear" levels. It will show you plus or minus if the rv is out of level. You can look at that anytime you wish without any adjustment.

If its out you can hit "Auto level" or again scroll and look for "Manual mode" for adjustment.

This is quoted from their online manual.

ZERO SETTING THE CONTROL
1. Turn "ON/OFF" button "OFF"
2. Push "FRONT" button 10 times
3. Push "REAR" button 10 times
4. Control will flash and beep, LCD says "ZERO POINT CALIBRATE"
5. To memorize this level condition, press "ENTER"
6. CD says "ZERO POINT STABILITY SUCCESSFULL SET"
7. The control will then turn off
8. Turn "ON/OFF" on to commence operation


After rereading your question this may not be the answer but the manual should help.

Before recalibrating the system, you need to make sure the rv is really level. I use a 3' level and take readings for and aft and side to side on the kitchen floor and also test the walls at various spots around the rv.

Once I manually adjusted the level up to my findings using the level, then I used John's instructions to zero out and recalibrate the system and double check with the level. My pen no longer rolls off the counter!

I don't want to recalabrate it's just that we have had a lot of rain and the ground is not all that compacted so the rig has settled.i just want to re level it.

I have releveled both ways.
1. manually uust adjust the level based on the display.
2. Pull rear legs up. push the auto hook up setting, then hit auto level.
Note - I went to the auto hook up level because the "auto lever" memorizes the hight it is at when the auto level button is pressed. If I had just hit auto lever from the last level position it would have set that leverl as the hook up height.
Sorry for confusion before.
