SAFETY

WARNING: I mproper or careless use of this product might result in death or serious personal injuries sustained by the operator and bystanders.
Failure to read and understand this manual before using or servicing a trailer-stabilizing jack is misuse. Any person who will use or maintain this product must be familiar with all instructions and warnings in this manual.

  • DO NOT perform maintenance on or repair a loaded (in use) jack.

  • DO NOT use this product unless all labels are in place and legible.

  • DO NOT use a stabilizing jack if it is damaged.

  • ONLY use the stabilizing jack on compacted, improved surfaces (i.e. concrete) that are even and level. This product will not stabilize trailers parked on
    uneven or sloped ground.

  • DO NOT use a stabilizing jack to support trailers. This jack is designed to stabilize trailers that are supported by landing gear (trailer dolly jack). NEVER use a stabilizing jack without deployed landing gear in normal condition.

  • ONLY qualified maintenance personnel should maintain and repair this product. Improperly maintained stabilizing jacks might become unsafe to use.

  • DO NOT modify a trailer-stabilizing jack in any way.

OPERATION

The trailer-stabilizing jack is intended to be used to support the ends of a semitrailer that is parked against a loading dock and not connected to a truck’s fifth wheel. The semitrailer must be situated on a flat, stable, improved (preferably concrete) surface.
The load rating in pounds is shown on the information the label located on the side of the jack. Two ratings appear on the label: a static rating – how much weight the jack will stabilize; and a lifting rating – how much weight The screw mechanism of the jack can lift.

NOTE: The need to use trailer-stabilizing jacks, the number necessary and the exact placement of jacks under the semitrailer must be determined by a qualified person responsible for the loading or unloading of the trailer.
WARNING: Improper or careless use of this product might result in death or serious personal injuries sustained by the operator and bystanders.

Before installing stabilizing jacks beneath a semitrailer:
1. It must be entirely and stably supported by its landing gear.
2. The trailer wheels must be properly immobilized to resist creep or roll.
3. The surface on which the jack(s) will be used must be even, level, compacted, and improved (concrete) to prevent the jack from sinking into the ground.
4. Confirm that the underside of the trailer is sound where the stabilizing jack(s) will contact it. If the point of contact is unsound, the jack might break through the trailer.
5. DO NOT exceed the load ratings.
To raise and lower the top cap: utilize the ratcheting mechanism (the same handle used for moving the jack around is used to ratchet).

Tip the stabilizing jack onto its wheels and roll it under the hitch-end (front) of the semitrailer. If using a single jack, place it on the centerline of the trailer’s width. When using two jacks, place one under each front corner.
NOTE: Additional stabilizing jacks might be required under the rear corners of the semitrailer if the distance from the rear axle to the back end of the semitrailer is more than 1⁄4  of the overall length of the trailer.
Adjust the height of the jack so that the top cap of the jack presses firmly against the underside of the semitrailer frame. However, the trailer landing gear  just at all times remain in solid contact with the ground in order to provide support for the front end of the trailer
Jacks must be removed before backing a tractor underneath the semitrailer. To remove a trailer jack,    lower the top cap so that it no longer contacts the
bottom of the trailer; then, tip the jack backward and roll it out from under the trailer.
