Electric Stabilizer Jack Owners Manual
System Maintenance
Mechanical Maintenance
It is recommended that when operating in harsh environments (road salt, ice build up, etc.) the moving
parts be kept clean. They can be washed with mild soap and water. No grease or lubrication is necessary and
in some situations may be detrimental to the environment and long term dependability of the system.
Do not work on the stabilizer jack unless the battery is disconnected. Failure to act in accordance with the
following may result in death or serious injury.
Electrical Maintenance
For optimum performance, the system requires full battery current and voltage. The battery
MUST
be maintained at full capacity. Other than good battery maintenance, check the terminals and other
connections at the battery, the control switch, and the electric motor for corrosion, and loose or damaged
terminals. Check motor leads under the trailer chassis. Since these connections are subject to damage from
road debris, be sure they are in good condition.
NOTE:
The Lippert Electric Stabilizer Jack is designed to operate as a negative ground system. A negative
ground system utilizes the chassis frame as a ground and an independent ground wire back to
battery is necessary. It is important that the electrical components have good wire to chassis
contact. The majority of electrical problems are due to bad ground connections.
