SPECIAL WARNINGS WHEN USING THIS TRAILER JACK
Using this Jack may create special hazards.
Take particular care to safeguard yourself and those around you.
1. Roll Away. Avoid situations which allow the trailer to roll away on the caster wheel and trailer
wheels. If using the trailer jack on an incline, be sure to chock the wheels. Never leave the trailer unattended
while on the jack if possibility of roll-away exists.
2. Swivel Failure. The swivel is very strong and exceeds the stated capacity of the jack. However
abuse, corrosion or damage may cause the swivel to break. Regularly inspect the swivel for damage, and
discontinue use if the swivel is damaged.
3. Loose Mounting Plates or Hardware. Never operate this Trailer Jack if the mounting hardware
is not secure on the tongue of the trailer. Regularly inspect the hardware for proper assembly.
4. Overloading. Never attempt to lift or support loads in excess of the rated strength of this Trailer
Jack. Sudden failure of the Jack may result in serious personal or property injury.
5. Swing up before driving. Always check to be sure that the Jack is properly swung up into its
raised position before driving. Driving with the Jack lowered can cause serious damage to property.
6. Dollying on uneven surfaces. The Caster Wheel on this Jack makes moving your trailer without a
vehicle convenient. However, moving the trailer on uneven or soft surfaces could create a dynamic loading
condition where the rated load capacity is exceeded; this condition could possibly cause failure, property
damage, and/or injury.
7. Not to be used for aircraft purposes.
NOTICE: No list of warnings can be all inclusive. The operator must
supply common sense, and operate this tool in a safe manner.
MAINTENANCE
If you discover any damage, repair or replace any damaged parts before using your Trailer Jack.
1. Regularly inspect the Swivel Handle springs and locking pins to be sure they will properly engage
and lock the Jack in either up or down position.
2. Keep the Swivel Plate lubricated with light grease. Inspect it regularly for damage.
3. Keep the Crank mechanism and inner tube lightly greased. Assure that this mechanism functions
smoothly.
4. Inspect the Caster Wheel Assembly regularly for damage. Keep the axle lightly lubricated.
5. Check the Mounting Hardware regularly to assure they are tight and the Jack is firmly attached to
the trailer tongue.
6. Inspect the entire unit for corrosion which may be caused by exposure to salt water or weather.
Rinse thoroughly and re-lubricate after being immersed in salt water.
7. Keep all moving parts lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion. If corrosion develops, you may paint
exterior parts of the Jack to arrest and prevent further damage.
