6. Pull the locking pin on the rear jack (F) and rotate it
90º. Install the locking pin. Turn the jack handle
clockwise to start leveling the trailer.

the trailer. Adjust all four jacks by rotating their
handles clockwise until they are firmly in contact
with the ground (G).

adjust the lamps. The lamps may be adjusted up,
down, left or right by loosening the wing nuts on the
trunnion (H) and aiming the lamps in the desired
direction. Tighten the hardware completely and
verify the lamps are connected to junction box (J).
