Power Jack - Airstream 2005 International Trailer Owner's Manual

AIRSTREAM INTERNATIONAL TRAILER
Chassis
The standard RECOMMENDED HITCH BALL HEIGHT for your Airstream is listed in the
"Specifications" section of this manual. If you plan long trips with the trailer heavily loaded, you should
check your trailer, after loading, to determine the optimum height. To check, park the trailer on a level
surface and crank the front jack up or down until the measurement from the frame to the ground is the same
front and rear. Measure from the ground to the upper surface of the hitch ball coupler. Add one inch to this
figure when setting the ball height on the tow vehicle to allow for the suspension settling under the added
weight.
WARNING
- ALWAYS OPEN LATCH HANDLE
BEFORE INSERTING BALL.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. To open - slide forward and pull up to open latch before inserting
ball
2. Place coupler on ball of same diameter as coupler and of same or
greater capacity.
3. When ball is completely nested in socket, push top of latch handle
rearward until handle snaps into closed position. (Figure 2)
4. Extend jack to ground and lift car/trailer combination 2-4" to
insure coupler is securely attached to tow ball. Retract jack before
towing.
5. Insert padlock through hole in handle for theft prevention.
