WARNING:
Read these instructions completely before begining installation.It is critical that you install the correct SnapPad on the proper foot. Please triple check prior to installing your SnapPads. Permanent damage could result from trying to install on the wrong landing foot, resulting in your warranty being voided. Your HiWay 8’s are designed to work with 8” round jack feet that are commonly found on HWH™️* leveling systems. If you have any questions, contact us at info@rvsnappad.com or 1-866-923-9538. Failure to follow these installation instructions can result in property damage, injury or death. Origen RV Accessories LTD. is not responsible or liable in any way for improperly installed SnapPads, even if adjudged negligent.

*Trademark is owned by mark owner. SnapPad and its goods are not affiliated with or endorsed by the mark owner.

INSTALLATION TIME: 3 – 6 MINUTES PER PAD.

While not required, we recommend double protecting your jacks by covering the landing feet with a rubberized protectant such as Flex Seal®. Make sure to cover your jack cylinders prior to applying and coat the bottom of your landing feet as well. Do this prior to installing your SnapPads and allow the protectant to cure for 24 hours. Do not spray your SnapPads with the sealant (it will not adhere to the rubber).

SnapPad installation is best performed on a level or near level surface – preferably a hard surface (concrete or asphalt). Wheel chocks can be placed in front of and behind the RV wheels for additional safety.
Be sure to thoroughly clean and dry your landing feet prior to installing your SnapPads.
Spread a small bead of concentrated dish soap around the lip of the SnapPad and metal landing foot to aid installation. Do NOT use any petroleum based lubricant, such as WD-40®, as it may negatively react with the binder in your SnapPads.
Most motorhomes will release their airbags prior to engaging the jacks. This will lower the entire RV at the beginning of the leveling process. You may place your first SnapPad prior to this, however, be careful to not get caught underneath your RV during the lowering process!
Some landing feet will have the spring brackets welded to the outside lip. When lining up your SnapPad, ensure the spring brackets are inline with the brackets slots on
the SnapPad***.
Cross beam consideration – on certain Tiffins brand Motorhomes, the front jacks will have a cross beam between them. Your SnapPads may or may not hit this beam when retracted. If so, align the bracket slot to allow clearance for the cross beam. Cross beam clearance takes priority over spring brackets welded to the outside lip.
Typically, one side will level first. Take note which side that is and start there. Install one SnapPad at a time and/or use the manual jack operation if possible. Refer to your owners manual for instructions.
Most jacks are 18” – 24” under your RV. Use a tool such as a broomstick to align/adjust your SnapPads, if necessary.
Once aligned, begin lowering your jack. Keep an eye on the landing foot as it extends. Stop extending when the foot is about 2 to 3 inches from the SnapPad. Double check to make sure it is centered and (if necessary) your bracket slots are lined up with the spring brackets or cross beam. Re-align as needed and then continue extending the landing gear to complete installation. KEEP YOUR FINGERS AND ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS CLEAR WHEN LOWERING THE JACK INTO PLACE.
You should hear a distinctive “snap” as the lip engages. Run a finger around the edge of the lip to confirm it is fully engaged around the perimeter of the landing foot.
If your lip hasn’t fully engaged, raise your jack and place a shim (small piece of wood no thicker than 1/4”) under the side that hasn’t engaged. Lower your jack again until that side snaps into place.
Wipe off any excess soap and repeat the installation process, in sequence, on your remaining jacks.
