IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
JACK
USE AND CARE
Do not modify the jack
in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or
safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications for which the
jack
was designed.
Always check of damaged or worn out parts before using the jack.
Broken parts will affect
the
jack
operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
Store idle jack.
When jack is not in use, store it in a secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
Do not force the trailer jack
. Do not attempt to lift more than the 3500-lb. maximum lifting
capacity of this jack.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before installation, compare the lift capacity of the electrical jack with your trailer to ensure
safe operation of the jack.
1. Park the trailer on a level surface and block the wheels.
2.
Support the trailer tongue by the frame with jack stands.
3.
If replacing an old jack, remove the old jack from the coupler, saving
the washers and bolts.
4.
Insert the electric jack into the jack hole and aligning the bolt holes so
the motor housing is facing forward as show in Figure 1.
Tip:
For extra clearance and convenience, the connector storage
bracket can be removed from the rear of the jack and installed on the
trailer, frame, or other convenient location.
5. Secure the jack with three Grade 5, 3/8in.-16UNC bolts and washers.
Place the star washers between the flat washers and the mounting
plate as shown in Figure 1. The star washers are intended to penetrate
through the paint on the mounting plate to ensure direct metal-to-metal
contact. Bolts should be tightened to 15-20 ft.-lbs.
Tip:
The salvaged bolts from the old jack are acceptable for reuse if
they are Grade 5 and in good condition.
6. If a lower support plate is not already present, install one in the bottom
of the trailer frame. Do not operate the jack without a lower support
plate.
7. Install the manual reset circuit breaker by either crimping or soldering
