Something else to add, from experience. When you Store your HWH jacks the control pad keeps the retract solenoids open for something like 20 minutes. If you are like me, I would use the ignition switch in the accessory position to store the jacks so as to not have to listen to the warning chime that sounds if in the On position. Worse yet I don't run the diesel engine while they are retracting, as others may be sleeping in. As soon as the light on the last retracting jack would go out I would remove power from the system by moving the ignition switch to the off position.
In some cases if you do this when it is cool as is usually is in the morning, and drive into warmer weather the Hydraulic fluid can warm up and expand. This expansion can push one or more of the jacks back down enough to trip the switch and give you the Jacks Down warning. I experienced this on a stop in Northern GA this winter. I now try to let the HWH controller do it's job and leave the ignition switch in the Accessory position till the Controlled turns itself off. There is usually plenty of things you can be doing outside while breaking camp.
As a side note and bonus information. If you are having trouble getting your jacks to retract, no not turn the jack controller back on till the solenoids have had a change to cool down. Repeated 20 minute on cycles with out the 30 minute cool down can fry your solenoids.
