2. Position leveler vertically against frame so base of foot has 8-9" minimum ground clearance
when RV is loaded to its maximum GVWR (NOTE: the clearance of a raw rail is different than
the clearance of a fully completed unit).
3. For all Leveleg installations, refer to the diagram with the correct configuration.
A.
For 5K Direct Drive Landing Legs
TM
,
i. Attach mounting brackets to legs using 3/8” – 16 carriage bolts and nuts. Torque bolts
to 18-20 ft-lbs. On each leg, position one bracket above and one below
mounting tabs
welded to landing leg housing.
ii. Position legs against frame in a vertical position. Legs should not be more than 1/4˝
out of parallel with each other. Locate foot pads and lock pins for maximum ground
clearance and to clear lower edge of trailer.
iii. Mark mounting bracket location on trailer frame. Weld mounting bracket to trailer
frame on both vertical sides and across
either top or bottom.
DO NOT
weld edges
that contact mounting tabs on landing
legs.
NOTE:
Due to different frame configurations, it
may be necessary to weld angle bracket tubing
to upper and/or lower part of frame to locate
landing legs vertically and plumb.
B.
7.5K Levelegs
TM
.
There are different ways
to mount the 7.5k Levelegs. The hat
bracket shown below left attaches the
Leveleg oriented to the front or rear of the RV, and the hat bracket shown below middle
attaches the Leveleg oriented perpendicular to the frame.
i. For bolt on assembly, attach the frame bracket to the frame using 4 sets of 1/2”-13
grade 5 nuts and bolts and 1/2” flat and locking washers. This bracket can also be
welded to the frame on some units.
ii. Fit the hat bracket around the Leveleg and attach to the frame bracket using 4 sets
of 1/2” – 13 grade 5 bolts and 1/2” flat washers.
NOTE:
The hat brackets used for the 7.5k Levelegs can be oriented in multiple ways to
best fit the RV. The hat bracket can be rotated 180
°
to bolt the Leveleg higher or lower
to the frame bracket. Also the top tab of the Leveleg can either fit through the slot of the
hat bracket, or rest on the top of the hat bracket in order to offer more options for
assembly. These options are illustrated in the figure below right.
4. Lubricate the bolts and torque to 65 ft-lbs.
