4. MOUNTING LOCATIONS
JACK INSTALLATION
: Refer to the CLEARANCE AND
MOUNTING DIMENSIONS CHARTS for specific measure-
ments.
Some general mounting location suggestions are:
2.) Do not mount rear jacks on frame extensions.
3.) Jacks should be mounted near frame cross members.
4.) When frame cross members are not close the jack brackets
should be tied together with a cross member.
5.) Front or rear jacks may be staggered several inches to ac-
commodate vehicle equipment and compartments.
6.) Front jacks and mounting brackets must be mounted so
they do not interfere with suspension components when re-
tracted or extended.
IMPORTANT: Clearance MUST be provided for kick down
front of vehicles with a raised rail chassis such as Spartans
must be tied together. If using straight acting jacks, it is sug-
Be sure jacks, jack mountings, or mounting brackets do not
interfere with any moving components on the vehicle such as
axles, springs, air bags, steering linkage, etc. Kick down jacks
may need to be adjusted to allow full extension of the jack in
the horizontal position.
HWH Corporation assumes no liability for damages to the
vehicle or jack resulting from jack extension in the horizon-
tal position.
Jacks must NOT be exposed to high temperatures such as
exhaust pipes. If exhaust pipes need to be moved, this should
be done before installing the leveling system. Heat shields
supplied with HWH brackets should be applied to both sides.
After-market exhaust systems may be added at a later date
exposing jacks to high temperatures.
NOTE:
7.) Front jacks and mounting brackets must be mounted so
they do not interfere with tires when turned stop to stop.
gested the front jacks on all installations be tied together when
possible.
1.) Rear jacks should always be mounted behind the drive axle.
When using straight acting jacks, the rear jacks on all
installations must be tied together. Straight acting jacks on the
jacks to extend fully in the horizontal position to prevent se-
rious damage to the vehicle.
