3.
4.
Roll away. Avoid situations which allow the trailer to roll away on the caster wheel and
trailer wheels. If using the trailer jack on an incline, be sure to chock the wheels. Never
leave the trailer unattended while on the jack if the wheels are not chocked.
Swivel failure. The swivel is very strong and exceeds the stated capacity of the jack.
However abuse, corrosion or damage may cause the swivel to break. Regularly inspect
the swivel for damage, and discontinue use if the swivel is damaged.
Loose mounting plates or hardware. Never operate this Trailer Jack if the mounting
hardware is not secure on the tongue of the trailer. Regularly inspect the hardware for
proper assembly.
Overloading. Never attempt to lift or support loads in excess of the rated strength of
this Trailer Jack. Sudden failure of the Jack may result in serious personal or property
injury.
BE AWARE OF DYNAMIC LOADING!
Suddenly dropping a load on the trailer that the jack is attached to may create,
for a brief instant, an excess load, which may result in damage to the product and/
or personal injury.

Swing up before driving. Always check to be sure that the Jack is properly swung up
into its raised position before driving. Driving with the Jack lowered can cause serious
damage to property. This Trailer Jack is not designed for highway use.
Dollying on uneven surfaces. The Tire on this Jack makes moving your trailer without
a vehicle convenient. However, moving the trailer on uneven or inclined surfaces can
cause personal injury or potential damage to the Jack or other property.

Assembly / Installation
WARNING:The trailer tongue must be square or rectangular in profile for this Jack to
mount properly. A rounded tongue will allow the Jack to rotate to the side
causing the trailer to fall suddenly, causing potentially serious personal or
property injury.
NOTE: Do not drill holes or otherwise damage the trailer tongue when installing this
Jack. Failure of the trailer tongue may result.
NOTE: Installing this Jack is most easily done with the Trailer mounted on the towing
vehicle hitch.

and do not allow the Tire (18) to strike your foot as the Jack rotates downward.

Assure that the Swivel Handle pins are in place, locking the Jack into the lowered
position.
Rotate the Handle (1) counterclockwise to lower the Tire (18) to the ground. Continue
to crank just enough for the Trailer Jack to take the weight of the trailer. This will make
it easier to disengage the trailer hitch.

Disengage the trailer hitch. Remember to disengage any safety chains, electrical
connections and other connections between the vehicle and the trailer.
You may need to extend the Jack further to clear the trailer hitch. When the vehicle is
completely clear, and it is safe to do so, drive the vehicle away from the trailer.
WARNING: Be sure to have 2 spotters watch this operation to be sure the trailer is clear
