Operation Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this
manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Dismounting The Trailer from The Towing Vehicle
1. Before dismounting, chock the trailer wheels
to prevent the trailer from rolling.
2. With the trailer on the hitch, pull and release
the Swivel Handle, allowing the Jack to swing
downwards. Keep fingers away from the Swivel
Plate area, and feet away from the Wheels
as the Trailer Jack swings downward.
3. Assure that the spring loaded Swivel Handle
pin locks the Jack into the lowered position.
4. Rotate the Crank clockwise to raise the Jack,
lowering the Wheels to the ground. Continue
to crank just enough for the Trailer Jack to
take the weight of the trailer. This will make
it easier to disengage the trailer hitch.
5. Disengage the electrical connections, the trailer
hitch, any safety chains or other connections,
between the vehicle and the trailer.
6. You may need to extend the Jack further
to clear the trailer hitch. When the vehicle
is completely clear, and it is safe to do so,
drive the vehicle away from the trailer.
Caution: Have a spotter watch this operation to be sure
the trailer is clear of the vehicle, and does not roll away.
Using the Trailer Jack to Mount The Trailer to the Towing Vehicle
Note: If the trailer tongue is too heavy, do
not attempt to lift it; seek assistance.
1. If the trailer tongue is resting on the ground:
a. Pull the Swivel Handle allowing the Trailer
Jack to swing downward. Keep fingers and
hands clear of Jack as it swings downward.
b. Lift the trailer tongue, while the Jack
rotates into the lowered position.
c. Assure that the Swivel Handle pin is in place,
locking the Jack into the lowered position.
2. Rotate the Crank clockwise to raise the trailer
to the level of the towing vehicle’s hitch.
3. With the assistance of a spotter, back the vehicle
to the trailer, or roll the trailer to the vehicle.
4. Mount the trailer onto the towing vehicle’s hitch.
5. Turn the Crank counterclockwise to lower
the Jack slightly, transferring the trailer
weight onto the towing vehicle.
6. Pull out the Swivel Handle, and rotate the Jack
into its horizontal position. Assure that the Swivel
Handle pin is in place, locking the Jack into the
raised horizontal position before moving the trailer.
7. Attach the safety chain (sold separately).
