IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
JACK USE AND CARE
- Do not modify the jack in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications for which the jack was designed.
- Always check for damaged or worn out parts before using the jack. Broken parts will affect the jack operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
- Do not force the trailer jack. Do not attempt to lift more than the maximum lifting capacity of 3500-lb.
- Never attempt to adjust the drop leg when there is any load on the jack. When using the drop foot or drop leg, make certain the supplied pin is fully inserted through both sides of the inner tube and the drop tube before using the jack.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before installation, compare the lift capacity of the electrical jack with your trailer to ensure safe operation of the jack.
- Park the trailer on a level surface and block the wheels.
- This trailer jack has been designed to attach to the top surface of the A-frame coupler.
- Disconnect the trailer battery ground trailer.
- Detach the drop leg (#23) of the jack by removing the lock pin (#22) and sliding it out.
- Position the drop leg (#23) in line with the mounting hole with the foot of the drop leg on the ground.
- Support the trailer tongue by the frame with jack stands (no included).
- If replacing an old jack, remove the old jack from the coupler.
- Insert the electric jack into the jack hole and align the bolt holes so the motor housing is facing forward as show in Figure 1.
- Secure the jack with three Grade 5, 3/8in.-16UNC bolts and washers (included). Bolts should be tightened to 40-50 ft.-lbs.
- If a lower support plate is not already present, install one in the bottom of the trailer frame. Do not operate the jack without a lower support plate at the bottom of the coupler.
- Route the wire lead from the plastic cover along the trailer to the battery. Attach the wire lead to the trailer using cable ties or equivalent.
- Connect the BLACK wire lead from the jack directly to the positive (+) terminal of the battery or junction box. This unit has a built-in circuit breaker which automatically trips and resets if the amperage is too high. Now connect the WHITE ground wire to the negative (-) battery terminal or to the trailer frame.
OPERATION
-
Park the trailer on a level surface and block the wheels.
Tip: For nighttime hookups, turn the light switch (#3) ON to illuminate your work area. -
Before operating the jack, extend the foot pad (#23) to the appropriate length and secure in place with the 3/8″ safety lock pin (#22) provided.
WARNING: Do not stack blocks under the jack’s foot to increase the height. Stacked blocks may become unstable and fall. -
Extend the jack by pushing the operating switch (#4) UP.
Note : Under heavy use, the internal circuit breaker may open, causing the motor to switch off. In this case, release the operating switch, and wait 15 seconds for the breaker to reset before resuming operation. -
Retract the jack by pushing the operating switch(#4) DOWN.
Note : If you attempt to extend or retract the jack and it does not respond, it may be at the end of the stroke. If the jack fails to respond, try operating it in the opposite direction. If it will not operate in either direction refer to the troubleshooting guide. -
After hitching the trailer to a tow vehicle, REMOVE the foot pad (#23) and the safety lock pin (#22). You may have to raise the jack tube slightly to release pressure on the safety lock pin.
