Installation Instructions
TRAIL JACK- 54”
(PART # 2722)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
A. TO RAISE A LOAD
1. Following all safety precautions, place the foot of the jack beneath the load. Lift the Reversing Latch to its
“UP” position and ensure it is locked into place, with the indentation in the Latch, firmly engaged in the notch
on the Reversing Switch. (Fig 1) Jack up the nose until it comes into contact with the load at the desired point of
lift. Pause at this stage and check to ensure there are no obstacles to a clean lift.
2. Pull down firmly and evenly on the handle and observe the load rising. As the handle is pulled down,
you will hear the climbing pin click into place as it locates in a hole in the steel bar. At this point, relax
the handle allowing the pin to take the load, raise the handle to the top of its stroke to take a fresh
purchase and pump the handle once again.
B. TO LOWER A LOAD
1. IMPORTANT: The jack must be loaded with a minimum of 150lbs to lower step by step, otherwise
the lifting nose will drop.
Taking all of the necessary precautions, take the load with the jack, (i.e. jack the load up slightly),
ensuring the handles is in the FULLY UPRIGHT position, trip the reversing latch, so that it is in the
“Down” position, (i.e. the indentation on the latch, becomes disengaged from the notch on the
reversing switch. Keeping a firm grip on the handle, pump it as you would for “raising a load”. It will lower
with each stroke of the handle.
