OPERATION

LEVELLING THE TRAILER

To level the trailer, attach the jack to the mount at the front of the trailer frame.  Raise the end of 
the trailer until the wheels come off the ground, then drop the two (2) support legs on either side 
of the jack and lock them in place using the T-bolts.  Remove the jack and repeat those steps at 
the rear end of the trailer frame with a spirit level laid across the bunks to check the level.

Once level, lower all the support legs and lock them in place with the T-bolts.  Check the level of 
the track rails at the ends of the track and adjust the outer supports if necessary.
