NOTE : FOR CONSUMER PROTECTION : The Remote Control System has a
built in low voltage shut off. If voltage drops below an unaccept-
able voltage, the power controls will chatter (click) and system
will not perform as intended. Noise indicates the battery must be
charged.
Manual Override Operation: To manually extend or retract jack, unplug
jack from camper to disable the jack motor’s dynamic brake. Place

engage drive pin. Rotate handle counter-clockwise to raise or clock-
wise to lower camper. Plug the jack back into camper to activate the
jack motor’s dynamic brake.
NOTE : No damage will occur to jack if jack is not unplugged, it will just
be harder to manually crank.

CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY & PRODUCT DAMAGE
• Do not enter camper after it is removed from truck until it is low-
ered to its lowest position. This will minimize sway which could
cause structural damage to the camper or jacks.
LOADING CAMPER ON TRUCK
Follow instructions in T O L IFT OR L OWER T RUCK C AMPER section and FIG 12 & 13,
raise camper high enough to clear truck bed. Carefully back truck
under camper making sure not to damage any portion of the camper
or jacks. Camper should be centered in truck bed with front of camper
as far forward in truck bed as possible. Attach electrical connections
between truck and camper, (refer to your camper operating instructions
or contact the camper manufacturer for further information). Lower
camper into truck bed, then fully retract all jacks.
To use the jacks as stabilizers, extend the jacks to the ground. Extend
the jacks only 2-3” more to take the bounce out when people move
around inside the camper.
MAINTENANCE
1. Internal parts of jack are permanently lubricated at the factory and
do not require any further lubrication.
2. At least once each camping season fully extend jacks and clean dirt
and grime from outside of inner tube. Coat entire outside of inner
tube with silicone spray lubricant. This will protect the finish of the
inner tube and provide lubrication between the jack’s tubes. Clean
dirt and grime from outer housing. Spray the alignment tube inside
and out with silicone (
FIG 8-B & 17-A).
NOTE : If it is not possible to get jack to operate freely, replace jack.
3. Apply a good automotive polish or wax to the outer tube of the
jacks to maintain the appearance.
