IMPORTANT CAUTION - If equalizer bars are attached to the tow
vehicle and the trailer while operating the power tongue jack,
you may experience the motor clutching the moment the jack
sees load. This will occur because you are lifting both the tongue
of the trailer and the rear of the tow vehicle. The 1500 lb. and
2500 lb. acme screw jacks cannot lift this excessive weight. To
overcome this excessive weight, you should upgrade to the 3500
lb. power jack. The ball screw mechanism utilized in this jack
should allow you to lift this load.
Jack operates only partially up
or down, or
Jack runs intermittently
