8.5 Landing Gear Alignment
Check to make sure the landing gear legs are in alignment with
the trailer and parallel with each other using a square (Figure 28).
Bent or damaged legs are an indication of possible damage to
the lift screw, lift nut or other internal components and should
be replaced.
NOTE: Atlas 55, 65 and iM landing gear utilize a floating nut
retract tube design. A retract tube that appears to
be angled slightly compared to the upper housing
DOES NOT constitute a damaged leg (Figure 29).
However, if the landing gear housing shows signs
of fracture or cracking around the band area, the
landing gear must be replaced.
