OPERATION
The trailer-stabilizing jack is intended to be used to support the ends of a semitrailer that is parked against a loading dock and not connected to a truck’s fifth wheel. The semitrailer must be situated on a flat, stable, improved (preferably concrete) surface.The load rating in pounds is shown on the information label located on the side of the jack. Two ratings appear on the label: a static rating – how much weight the jack will stabilize; and a lifting rating – how much weight the screw mechanism of the jack can lift.
NOTE: The need to use trailer-stabilizing jacks, the number necessary and the exact placement of jacks under the semitrailer must be determined by a qualified person responsible for the loading or unloading of the trailer.WARNING: Improper or careless use of this product might result in death or serious personal injuries sustained by the operatorand bystanders.
OPERATION CONTINUED
Before installing stabilizing jacks beneath a semitrailer:
- It must be entirely and stably supported by its landing gear.
- The trailer wheels must be properly immobilized to resist creep or roll.
- The surface on which the jack(s) will be used must be even, level, compacted and improved (concrete) to prevent the jack from sinking into the ground.
- Confirm that the underside of the trailer is sound where the stabilizing jack(s) will contact it. If the point of contact is unsound, the jack might break through the trailer.
- DO NOT exceed the load ratings. To raise and lower the top cap: utilize handles that are affixed to the screw hub.
Lift and place stabilizing jack under the hitch-end (front) of the semi-trailer. If using a single jack, place it on the centerline of the trailer’s width. When using two jacks, place one under each front corner.NOTE: Additional stabilizing jacks might be required under the rear corners of the semitrailer if the distance from the rear axle to the back end of the semitrailer is more than 1⁄4 of the overall length of the trailer.Adjust the height of the jack so that the top cap of the jack presses firmly against the underside of the semitrailer frame. However, the trailer landing gear mustat all times remain in solid contact with the ground in order to provide support for the front end of the trailer Jacks must be removed before backing a tractor underneath the semitrailer. To remove a trailer jack, lower the top cap so that it no longer contacts the bottom of the trailer; then, tip the jack backward androll it out from under the trailer.
