4. When
there
is
between the pin box and hitch, move the
tow vehicle clear of the RV. Then lower
the RV until it is level, side-to-side and
back-to-front.
Generally, "extend" and "retract" on the
switches refer to the travel direction of the
legs, not of the trailer.
Either at full extension or full retraction, you
may hear a clicking or popping noise from the
motor. This is the slipclutch built into the
motor to protect it against overload or to
prevent over-extension or over-retraction.
Release the switch as soon as you hear this
noise to prevent damage to the motor.
If you hear this noise when the legs are
neither fully extended, or fully retracted, one
or both of the legs may be overloaded and
you will need to shift items around in the RV
or remove items from the RV. Continuing to
operate the legs in an overloaded condition
will lead to premature wear and unsatisfactory
performance of the legs.
To retract the power FW landing legs
Push the switch to the "RET" position and
hold the switch until the legs are fully
retracted. Release the switch as the pin in the
ram tube nears the end of the outer housing.
Then remove the lock pin, or disengage the
pull-pin, and release the drop tube, re-pinning
it in the highest position. Fully retract the legs
so that the foot pad is higher than the lowest
point of the trailer, to prevent dragging while
going over a curb.
The FW landing gear must be fully retracted
before moving or towing the RV to prevent
damage. Damage caused by improper usage
is not warrantable.

TOWING & HANDLING
Manual operation
DO NOT attempt to use the hand crank at
the same time the electric drive motor is
being used. Remove the hand crank
before using the electric motor. Failure to
do so will allow the handle to jerk or spin
around.
In an emergency, the power FW landing gear
can be operated manually. Carefully cut the
wiring to the motor (there must be a sufficient
length of wiring left for the tech to rewire the
motor during the resulting repair. If the tech
does not have a sufficient amount of wiring
available the motor will have to be replaced
as a customer purchased part). Then insert
the hand crank into the alignment tube until
the end engages and continue to either
extend or retract the landing legs.
Maintenance
•
Inspect the pad tube and inner ram
periodically.
•
Yearly spray silicone in the inner tube and
pad tube.
•
Yearly spray silicone inside of handle

•
Yearly grease gears in gear box and at
top of each leg with extreme pressure

•
Yearly oil shaft bushings with S.A.E. 30 oil
