POWER JACK (Option)

A switch located on the bottom of the housing operates the power jack. When the jack is fully extended or retracted internal limit switches automatically shut off the motor.

Should an electrical failure occur, remove the power head by loosening the two Allen set screws. The jack post may now be operated manually by inserting the emergency handle into the coupling on top of the post.

D	The jack is wired directly to the battery and has an inline fuse between the battery and
	the power head.

Replacing Power Head

It is essential that the following procedure be used before the power head is replaced on the post.

1.With 12 volts connected, ground the power head to trailer “A” frame. Operate main switch in “post retracting direction” until the motor stops automatically.

2.Using emergency handle, crank post clockwise by hand until fully retracted, then turn crank one turn counterclockwise.

3.Replace head on post and make sure that drive pin is engaged with post coupler. Tighten Allen set screws.

Maintenance

1.Every two years remove screws and cover and check grease condition. Use HMP grease similar to lubricate 630AA and spread on gear teeth, Grease is not required on the nylon timing gears. No internal lubrication of the post is required, but an occasional external application of a silicone or WD-40 spray lubricant on the inner tube of the post when extended is permissible.

2.Before replacing the cover ensure that the plate and limit switch unit are located correctly.

3.Apply a little sealing compound around the mating surface of the gear cover and replace screws tightening them diagonally. Check synchronization if head has been removed from the post.

4.A little penetrating oil on the Allen setscrews occasionally will help prevent corrosion and difficult removal.

Note: Leave tow vehicle transmission in neutral when lifting both units. Dolly wheels are not recommended. Always retract stabilizing jacks before using your Super Jack under load.
