JACK INFORMATION
Trailer
jacks are designed to ease loading and un-loading trailer from
hitch ball, as well as raising trailer to a proper storage
angle. Below are some basic mounting and safety tips to
help you get the most from your trailer jack.
MOUNTING:
Before mounting your trailer jack, check for interference from
recessed ball mounts, the trailer coupler, and the hitch or
vehicle bumper. Rotate the jack handle to check that the
swing is not obstructed. If the jack is of the
swing-away or swivel design, check the unit in both the
vertical and horizontal positions. When the swing-away
jack is in the horizontal or storage position, there should
not be any interference from structural members of the trailer
or the trailer coupler. Make sure that the swing-away
jack does not come in contact with the tow vehicle when making
a tight turn while in the storage position. On all
jacks, check that proper ground clearance has been achieved.
SAFETY:
When cranking or coupling trailer, secure trailer from rolling
with chocks on both sides. These trailer jacks are
designed for vertical loading, excessive side forces should be
avoided. When using optional foot plate or caster,
always remove foot plate or caster before Trailering.
Also, remember to raise swing-away jacks to storage position
before Trailering.
