Can Lippert Ground Control be Operated without Using the Keypad
Question:
Is there a way to lift / lower front jacks without keypad ? Storage is tight and very hard to get to keypad when un hooking.

You have a couple of options. First, if you have a Lippert Ground Control system such as # LC358590 and it didn't come with the remote you could use the remote # LC358601.
The other option if you don't want the remote is to relocate the keypad to an easier to access location which will require some work and wires might have to be extended, holes potentially have to be drilled, and all the other possible pit falls that you could run into for this type of application.
There is also a way to operate the jacks manually. You would need a 3/8" drive ratchet and extension with NO socket. Find the port on the top of a jack, remove the plug, and stick in the extension in the hole. Then just turn the ratchet to raise or lower the jack leg.
OR
Use the ratchet and extension and add a 5/16" socket. Locate the port on the bottom of the jack motor, remove the rubber plug, put the socket over the nut, and crank to raise/lower the leg.
