Tandem Axle Flex Equalizer (If Equipped) - Jayco TOWABLE 2024 Owner's Manual

Extending Stabilizers
1. Disconnect the safety chain from the footpad (Fig. A).
2. Using a 3/4" socket on a ratchet or cordless drill, turn the hex
coupler (Fig. B) clockwise to begin lowering the foot pad towards
the ground.
Use of an impact drill is not recommended and will cause damage to
the mechanism.
3. After the footpad has extended to a point, it will be necessary to
pull the spring latch (Fig. C) and lower the Quick Drop Leg so
that the foot pad is positioned as close to the ground as possible.
4. Continue to turn the hex coupler clockwise until the footpad
touches the ground and resistance is felt. It may take a few
attempts of adjusting the Quick Drop Leg and turning the hex
coupler to achieve the optimal stabilization (Fig. D). There
should be a gap between the Visual Gauge and the Inner Arm if
set correctly. You want the inner arm to be as close to 90
degrees (vertical) as possible.
Upon completion, the inner arm should not have moved beyond a
90 degree angle; perpendicular to the assembly body. Doing so may
cause the mechanism to bind and cause damage.
5. Repeat process for other stabilizer legs.

Retracting Stabilizers
To retract the stabilizers, reverse the
process above, remembering to retract
the Quick Drop Leg after raising the
Foot Pad so the stabilizer does not
stick out from the sides of the RV
during transit, and re-attach the Safety
Chain.
Electric Stabilizers (if equipped)
Control switches for the stabilizers are typically located on the (door)
side of the unit above the stabilizer jack(s). To lower each stabilizer,
press the control switch until each leg contacts the ground and
stabilizes the unit. To raise the stabilizer, press the control switch until
the stabilizer is returned to the retracted position.
Manual Override
The electric stabilizers may have a built in manual override system.
The override coupler is located on the end of the stabilizer opposite
the electric motor. One of the wire motor leads must be disconnected
to prevent back loading the motor and causing more damage.
Disconnect the battery from the system prior to manual
operation.
VEHICLE OPERATION
Insert the 1/2" diameter crank handle inside the coupler. The slot in
the end of the crank handle accommodates the pin inside the coupler
to allow manual extension/retraction of the stabilizer. Rotate the
handle clockwise to retract and counter-clockwise to extend the
stabilizer.
The gears can be stripped out if the stabilizer is manually retracted/
extended to its fullest extent and the operator continues to rotate the
manual override.

TANDEM AXLE FLEX EQUALIZER (IF EQUIPPED)

Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with a tandem axle flex
equalizer on the leaf spring suspension. These units may have grease
zerks attached to the head, and should be greased approximately
every 3500 miles. Check with the component manufacturer for
