To lift and secure the jacks (for transport):
1. Place your foot on the release lever (Figure 4a) and press down firmly to release the extended section.
2. With one hand, hold the release lever down while sliding foot back up into body (Figure 4b).
3. Pull the body of the jack down to release it from its locking tooth then swing it up until it locks back into
place again (Figures 4c and 4d).
4. Check that the jack is secured in the locked position.

CAUTION:
When preparing trailer for transport the
FRONT LEVELING JACK MUST BE FULLY RETRACTED

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS
We recommend a few ways to keep your trailer secure:
1. Lock the Hitch Ball Coupler with a high-grade padlock or coupler lock.
2. Run a locking cable through one or both of your wheels and around the leaf springs.
3. Purchase long-shank padlocks and place them on the leveling jacks so that they are locked in the down
position.
4. Chain or cable-lock the trailer to a nearby pole or other permanently fixed landscape feature.

FINAL POSITIONING / FINE TUNING
For some basic trailer positioning tips, see Figure
on right. Keep in mind that the 18” tall characters
are readable from 1000 feet. If the radar unit is
picking up vehicles too far away, simply rotate the
trailer clockwise so that it’s facing the opposite
curb a bit more. Likewise, if the unit is picking
vehicles up too close or not far away enough, rotate
counter-clockwise. Practice with as many vehicles as
necessary until desired results are achieved.
