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 Mini Square 5’s are designed to work with 5.5” square jack feet that are commonly found on BAL® and LCI/Lippert® stabilizers. 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.

Travel Trailer Detailed Instructions

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 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.
  • Spread a small bead of concentrated dish soap around the lip of the SnapPad and metal landing foot to aid in installation. Do NOT use any petroleum based lubricant, such as WD-40®, as it may negatively react with the binder in your SnapPads.
  • Feel free to use a block during installation to reduce the jack travel.
  • As travel trailer stabilizer motors are not strong we recommend using the manual hand cranks in order to install the pads. Be careful not to put too much pressure on the stabilizers which could cause the trailer to lift and potentially bend the stabilizer arms.
  • Extend your jacks until about 2 inches from the pad 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 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 to complete the SnapPad installation.
  • Do not put the full weight of the RV on them as the arms of the stabilizer cannot take the weight of the RV. Use a little soap, put some pressure on them and only if needed, use a screwdriver to get behind it to lift the lip of the pad over the top of the foot.
  • 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, make sure the entire SnapPad is supported underneath the ground or block. If not, retract the jack and reposition the base to ensure the entire SnapPad base is supported.
  • Once installed, wipe off any excess soap and enjoy the grip and stability your SnapPad provides.

  • Be sure to thoroughly clean and dry your landing feet prior to installing your SnapPads.
  • SnapPads MUST FIRST BE INSTALLED ON THE FRONT JACKS before continuing to the rear 2 or 4 leveling jacks. Front jack installation MUST BE DONE while the RV is hitched up to the truck. For safety, also connect the RV’s break-away cable to the truck before installation.
  • Feel free to use a block during installation to reduce the jack travel.
  • Operate your jacks manually and install your SnapPads one at a time. If your jacks deploy in pairs, take note which jack hits the ground first and start there.
  • 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 4 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 to complete the SnapPad installation.
  • 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.
  • Once SnapPad installation is complete on the front landing jacks, the TRUCK MUST BE DISCONNECTED AND PULLED AWAY from the RV before installing SnapPads on the rear 2 or 4 leveling jack pads.
  • If your lip hasn’t fully engaged, use a screwdriver to get behind it to lift the lip of the pad over the top of the foot.
  • Wipe off any excess soap and repeat the installation process on the remaining jacks.

HELPFUL HINTS & TRICKS FOR MINI SQUARE 5

  • It’s best (and easiest) to install your SnapPads one at a time on a level, hard surface.
  • However it’s been found that some newer landing feet tend to bend under the weight of your RV. Should one of your SnapPads not install immediately this might be the case for you. Remedy this by installing your SnapPad on softer terrain such as grass. This will allow your SnapPad to conform around your landing foot. Once engaged, your SnapPad will remain attached.
  • Each leveling system will have it’s own manual operation function. Please refer to your owners manual for specific directions.
  • Grab a helper! It’s safer, faster, and more efficient with two people.
  • Use your phone or another person to relay the information between the installer and the person working the controls.
  • Install each SnapPad individually and visually confirm the reinforced lip has engaged on the complete diameter. It is critical your SnapPad has been installed fully and correctly.
  • Standing water? No problem! Your SnapPad Mini Square 5 pads have built-in drainage channels.
  • Installation is easier in warm weather (50°F or more).
  • If your landing feet are aluminum then disregard the next suggestion:
