Fig. 4.1 Safety chain installation
Crisscross the left safety chain under the
coupler and attach to the right mounting slot

chain. Slack for each length should be the
same but not more than necessary to permit
the vehicle to turn at its minimum radius.

A 7-way wire harness/connector plug is wired
into your trailer to connect electrical power
from the tow vehicle for travel. This supplies
power to the park trailer brakes, tail lights,
clearance lights, turn signals, brake lights,
etc. Wiring to operate your brakes must be
the same size in both the tow vehicle and
park trailer (the park trailer brake wiring is 12-
gauge wire). When attaching wires to your
tow vehicle, carefully and tightly tape all the
connections for moisture protection.

The connector plug may build up corrosion
with extended use and should be cleaned
periodically to insure good electrical contact.
Make sure the connector plug is kept clean
and protected from road elements as you
travel.

TABILIZER
J
ACKS
1. Each stabilizer jack can be individually
adjusted to stabilize the trailer for use.
2. When setting your park trailer up on soft
ground, you may wish to place a wood
pad or the equivalent under each
stabilizer jack foot. This will help keep the
stabilizer jack from sinking into the
ground.
3. To lower each jack, insert the jack crank
onto the applicable stabilizer jack shaft.
4. Turn the crank clockwise to lower each
leg until it contacts the ground and
stabilizes the trailer.
To raise each jack, insert the jack crank onto
the applicable stabilizer jack shaft and turn
the crank counter-clockwise.
The stabilizer jacks must be fully retracted
before moving or towing the park trailer to
prevent stabilizer jack damage.

DO NOT USE THE STABILIZER JACKS
TO LEVEL THE park trailer.
It is
important to remember that the stabilizer
jacks are to be used only for support while
occupying and moving around the park
trailer. They are not designed to bear the
weight of the park trailer.
