WARNING
Read these instructions completely before beginning 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 EQ compacts are designed to work with 7” octagonal jack
feet that are commonly found on Equalizer™️* 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.

INSTALLATION TIME: 3 – 6 MINUTES PER PAD
While not required, we recommend doubling 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 should be performed on a level or near-level surface – preferably a hard surface (concrete or asphalt). Wheel chocks should be placed in front of
and behind the RV wheels for additional safety. -
Inspect the condition of the metal landing feet on each jack to ensure the SnapPad will fit snuggly, securely, and safely. Metal landing feet displaying bending,
misshapen area, damage, excessive rusting or corrosion, or signs of warping may not safely accept a SnapPad with resulting risks of damage, injury, or death. -
Be sure to thoroughly clean and dry your landing feet prior to installing your SnapPads.
-
Place each SnapPad by hand against each landing foot to verify proper sizing before installation (i.e. the SnapPad will accept each foot with the SnapPad lip engaged
over top of the edge of the foot). Have a helper manually and safely operate each jack through its range of travel while holding the SnapPad in place to ensure: -
Operate your jacks manually and install your SnapPads one at a time.
-
If you have an electric system, please be careful that you don’t overload the system when installing the pads. Do not hold the extend
button for too long (3 seconds or less) once it contacts the ground or SnapPad. -
Be extra careful when you line it up and center the pad beneath the jack foot.
-
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. -
Extend your jacks until about 2 inches from the ground then stop so you can properly align your jack and SnapPad.
KEEP YOUR FINGERS AND ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS CLEAR WHEN LOWERING THE JACK INTO PLACE.
-
Carefully place and center your SnapPad under the landing jack foot. Continue to lower the front landing jack until it touches the SnapPad. If you feel that the landing pad
is not centered on the SnapPads, retract the landing gear enough to re-center the SnapPads and proceed with extending the landing gear. -
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 the lip of your SnapPad hasn’t fully engaged around the entire edge of the landing foot, raise your jack and place a shim (small piece of wood no thicker than 1/4”)
under the side of the SnapPad that hasn’t engaged. Lower your jack again until that side snaps into place. -
Wipe off any excess soap and repeat the installation process on the remaining jacks.
