LOADING THE CAMPER
1.
Push the rocker switch "ON" in the receiver unit or the remote switch panel.
2.
Press the "UP" buttons on the transmitter until the two front jacks have raised the camper
3-4".
3.
Raise the two rear jacks 3-4" until level with front.
4.
Repeat steps 2 & 3 until camper is approximately 6" above truck bed or highest point on
truck bed.
5.
!!! Back truck carefully under the camper, making sure to not hit or rub the camper jacks,
truck wheels or fenders.
6.
Make sure any ice is cleared away from the jack footpads(see safety recommendations, page
9)
7.
Lower the camper onto the truck by following the instructions in the "LOWERING THE
CAMPER" section.
MANUAL OPERATION
If the battery power is low, switch the power "OFF" to the receiver. This will eliminate the dynamic
braking effect of the motor. Remove the access cap on the top of the powerhead. The crank shaft of
the gearbox will be accessible to turn with a 3/8" ratchet wrench. Rotate the wrench counter-
clockwise to raise the jack and clockwise to lower the jack. Do not activate the motor with the
wrench still on the crank shaft.
CAMPER STORAGE
Jacks can be used for permanent storage. However, for best stability, set the camper on blocks, and
use the jacks for stabilizing only.
LIFTING AND LOWERING - ALL JACKS MODE
The front jacks lift the heaviest load, and consequently will raise slower than the rear jacks.
Conversely, the front jacks will lower faster than the rear jacks. This phenomenon will be
most noticeable when using the "ALL" jacks button on the transmitter. It is necessary that the
camper level condition be closely watched so as to prevent the rear of the camper from being at
a higher level than the front. It will be necessary to stop the "ALL"
jacks operation to keep the level
condition of the camper even front to back and side to side.
MAINTENANCE
The internal parts of the jack system are permanently lubricated and should not require further
lubrication. Once each year, run each jack out to its full extent, and clean the outer surface of the
inner tube. Spray this surface with silicone spray lubricant. Clean outer surface of housing and spray
the manual crank shaft with silicone lubricant. Apply a good auto wax to the outer surfaces of the
jack system to maintain an attractive appearance. In coastal, rainy, or humid areas, we recommend
that a liquid wax such as Mother’s Polish, McGuires, or Turtle Wax be applied to the entire surface
of the jacks and brackets. Keep the wax intact with a spray wax periodically. Repeat each year. An
excellent alternate is Mercury’s Corrosion Guard.
The electronic components of the jack system also require very little maintenance. The remote
transmitter can be cleaned periodically with a soft damp cloth. Solvents or cleaners are
to be avoided since they can leak inside causing electrical damage. Wipe battery contacts with a dry
lint-free cloth. If the transmitter or receiver get wet, open their respective covers, and dry thoroughly
before re-using.
