CAUTION
Before raising the jacks, make sure the hitch is securely latched by applying the
trailer brakes and slowly pulling the tow vehicle forward. The unit should prevent
the tow vehicle from moving.
These jacks can be operated manually, if necessary. Insert the hand crank into
the alignment tube until the end engages with the crank shaft. Turn the crank
handle counter clockwise to raise the trailer. Remove and store the crank
handle. To raise the jacks after coupling, rotate the crank handle clockwise.
Retract as far as possible with the crank handle, then remove the lock pin and
raise the pad tube and re-pin it in the highest possible position. Please refer to
the jack manufacturer operation instructions for further assistance. The snaps
for the fifth wheel jacks may be featured on this model.
CAUTION
Before moving the trailer, crank up the stabilizer jacks to the fully closed
position. Tighten 1/4 turn to secure the jacks in the travel position. This will help
prevent the stabilizers from working open due to road vibration. Do not use
stabilizer jacks to lift the unit.

Stabilizer Jacks

Fifth wheel units may also be equipped with one pair of stabilizer jacks.
As an option, an extra pair of stabilizer jacks or power twin jacks may be
installed. The operation of the stabilizer jack is fairly simple. First park the
vehicle on level ground. Block the wheels using tire chocks to prevent the unit
from moving. Level the front and the back of the unit using the landing gear.
Crank the stabilizers down on the low side first, this will bring the trailer to a
fine level position. Re-tighten the stabilizers on the low side of the unit, if
necessary. Do not use stabilizer jacks to lift the unit.

Electric Stabilizer Jacks (Optional)

In place of the manual stabilizer jacks, an electric stabilizer jack assembly
may be optioned. For further instructions on the operation of these, refer to the
manufacturer operator's manual in the Owner's Information Packet.
