Do not use this leveling scissor jack for aircraft purposes. 24. Some RV sub-frames are not capable of handling any additional forces beyond its intended design strength to support the cabin weight.

INSTALLATION WARNING! DO NOT USE THIS LEVELING SCISSOR JACK WHILE UNMOUNTED 1. Park RV or trailer on level ground. Prevent the wheels from rolling by applying emergency brake and wheel blocks (not included). 2. Check the following before proceeding with the installation: a. Attach Jack to the frame of the RV or Trailer using two c-clamps (not included) or two vise grips (not included). Close the Jack using the Handle Wrench (16) to check the frame location. Make sure the Jack will clear any chassis components nearby. b. Open the Jack enough to touch the ground. Recheck the location on the frame and adjust if needed. c. Once in place, apply enough pressure between the ground and the Jack to ensure that it will not move during the rest of the installation process. Remove the c-clamps (not included) or vise grips (not included). BOLT-ON INSTALLATION 1. WARNING! BEFORE DRILLING HOLES, CHECK FOR ANY CHASSIS COMPONENTS WHICH MAY BE INSIDE THE FRAME. LOOK FOR ELECTRICAL LINES AND WIRES, GAS TANK, GAS LINES, WATER AND HOLDING TANKS, GENERATOR FUEL LINES AND WATER HEATER LINES. MAKE SURE AREA IS CLEAR OF THESE COMPONENTS BEFORE DRILLING. 2. Hold the Jack against the frame and using the Mounting Brackets (9) as a template, mark the locations of the 8 mounting holes on the RV or Trailer frame. Remove the Jack. 3. Use a center punch (not included) and hammer (not included) to mark the center of each hole. 4. Use a drill (not included) to make a pilot hole 1/8”. Then use a 5/16” drill bit (not included) to complete each hole. Use eight 3/8” tapping screws (not included) with eight lock washers (not included) to attach the Jack to the frame. WELD-ON INSTALLATION 1. Refer to “Installation” and steps 1 and 2 under “Bolt-on Installation” on pages 4 of this manual. 2.

Use Jacks on opposite sides for best stabilization. 4. After Jack makes firm contact with ground, turn Handle Wrench (16) twice to insure Jack will not loosen from trailer during use. 4 NOTE: When RV or trailer will not be moved for several days, periodically check Jacks to be sure they have not worked loose.
