retracted leg when the RV is loaded to its maximum GVWR. Leveler
legs may be mounted on inside or outside of frame and require cor-
responding Cross Brace Kit.
3. Weld frame bracket using two (2) 5/16˝ welds as shown (

3/8˝ carriage bolts, 3/8˝ washers and 3/8˝ nuts (
bolts to 20 ft. lbs.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for opposite leveler leg keeping the mounting positions
approximately the same distance behind axle.
5. Cross brace attachment - Attach top cross brace brackets (
each jack under the tab on the jack using 3/8 ˝ carriage bolts and 3/8 ˝
nuts and torque to 20 ft-lbs. Have top cross brace bracket openings fac-
ing opposite directions, one forward and one rearward. Attach each
cross brace tube to each attached bracket using the 5/16 ˝ -18 bolts and
nuts (
