3.Pull the Swivel Handle (15) out, then reengage the pins, locking the Jack into the lowered position.

4.Rotate the Handle (1) clockwise to raise the trailer to just above the level of the towing vehicle’s hitch.

5.Have an assistant spot for you as you move the vehicle close to the trailer. Or, if on smooth ground, roll the trailer to the vehicle.

6.Mount the trailer onto the towing vehicle’s hitch.

7.Turn the Handle (1) counterclockwise to raise the Jack slightly off the ground, transferring the trailer weight onto the towing vehicle.

8.Pull out the Swivel Handle (15), and rotate the Jack into its upright position. Be sure that the Swivel Handle locking pins are fully engaged and the wheel chocks are removed before driving away.

Maintenance

If you discover any damage, have all damaged parts repaired or replaced before using your Trailer Jack.

1.Regularly inspect the Springs (17) and Swivel Handle (15) locking pins to be sure they will properly engage and lock the Jack in both the up and down positions. Check all of the Hardware Sets (19) regularly to ensure that they are tight and the Jack is firmly attached to the trailer tongue.

2.Keep the Swivel Plate (6) lubricated with light grease. Inspect it regularly for damage.

3.Keep the crank mechanism (inside the Outer Tube (7)) and the top shaft of the Inner Tube (8) lightly greased. Ensure that this mechanism functions smoothly.

4.Inspect the Tire (18) regularly for damage. Keep the tire filled to a cold pressure of 30 PSI. Keep the axle lightly lubricated.

5.Inspect the entire unit for corrosion which may be caused by exposure to salt water or weather. Rinse thoroughly and re-lubricate promptly after being immersed in salt water.

6.Keep all moving parts lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion. If corrosion develops, you may paint exterior parts of the Jack to help arrest and prevent further damage.
