Lifter System - Jayco Fold Down Owner's Manual

will allow the jack to move out of its traveling position and
allow it to drop into place. Now extend the jack "foot" by
pushing it to the ground. More tension can be placed on the
jack feet by using the long jack handle supplied in each unit.
Be sure that not too much force is applied t o the jack handle; it
will cause the holes in the jack legs to expand by breaking out
the dividers. One notch should be sufficient. DO NOT
place
excessive weight on these jacks as they are intended to
stabilize, not bear the weight of the camper.
CLOSING YOUR JAYCO CAMPER
To close, simply reverse the above procedure beginning with Step.
No. 11 and ending with Step No. 1.
It is possible, due t o an
unlevel campsite, that one corner may "hang iip" when you crank
down your unit.
This is not a serious problem and is due to
binding of the lifter arm. To solve this problem, shake the camper
gently to move the roof back and forth, allowing it to come down.
Never force the hung up corner down by grabbing the roof and
applying your weight. This could damage the lifter arm. If the roof
is persistent in sticking, crank up again and start over.
CAUTION: If stabilizer jacks are down while roof is being
cranked up or down it is very possible to have
the unit
in a
bind causing lifter system to hang
UP.
After roof is totally down and roof latches secured, before
removing crank, tighten cable system with a slight tension turning
a s you were raising camper. This
will
avoid cables becoming too
loose and becoming tangled with each other.

345966 CRANK-UP LIFTER SYSTEM
J q c o ' s unique raising system has been thoroughly tested and
proven to be one of the best on the market and is reIatively simple
in operation. The system is operated by a manual winch. As the
lrinch turns, the main cable, which is connected to the four
secondary cables from each corner, is shortened, As the main
cable
shortens, it
pulls the secondary cables, forcing the flexible
steel core to
be
pushed upward against the last tier of each
telescopic arm. Because strong force can be achieved with little
effort through a pulley system, the roof can be lifted easily.
