Jacks
The following procedures should be performed annually.
Side-Wind Models
The internal gearing and bushings of the jack must
•
be kept lubricated. Apply a small amount of
automotive grease to the internal gearing by
removing the jack cover, or if equipped, use a
needle nose applicator or standard grease gun on
the lubrication point found on the side of the jack
near the crank. Rotate the jack handle to distribute
the grease evenly.
A lightweight oil must be applied to the handle unit
•
at both sides of the tube.
If equipped, the axle bolt and nut assembly of the
•
caster wheel must also be lubricated with the same
lightweight oil.
Top-Wind Models
Apply a lightweight oil to the screw stem.

Trailer Wheel Bearings
The trailer axles are equipped with a grease fitting to
allow lubrication of the wheel bearings without the need
to disassemble the axle hub. To lubricate the axle
bearings, remove the small rubber plug on the grease
cap, attach a standard grease gun fitting to the grease
fitting and pump grease into the fitting until new grease is
visible around the nozzle of the grease gun. Use only a
high quality grease made specifically for lubrication of
wheel bearings. Wipe any excess grease from the hub
with a clean cloth and replace the rubber plug when
finished. The minimum recommended lubrication is every
12 months or 12,000 miles (19,312 km). More frequent
lubrication may be required under extremely dusty or
damp operating conditions.
Lower Radiator Hose Heater (If
Equipped)
WARNING
Personal Injury. Do not modify the location of the
lower radiator hose heater. Improper use of hose
heater could result in personal injury or engine
damage.
The following points should be followed when operating a
unit equipped with a lower radiator hose heater.
Verify the cooling system is full of the proper
•
mixture of water and engine coolant before each
heater use.
The heater is designed for all-night operation,
•
however, 2–5 hours of heating just prior to starting
is usually sufficient for proper engine starting.
The unit must be level to maintain proper
•
orientation of the heater while it is in operation.
Use only an undamaged, outdoor rated, three-
•
prong grounded 120VAC extension cord with a
minimum amperage rating of 10A. Connect the
cord to a properly grounded 120VAC, GFCI
receptacle.
Before starting the engine, unplug the extension
•
cord from the power, then unplug the heater
cordset from the extension cord.
