INTENDED USE
- This 5000LB. Heavy Duty Cargo Electric Trailer Jack is a 12V motor-driven jack that makes couplingand uncoupling from the hitch on travel trailers and boat trailers an easier operation. The ball screwdesign and brake motor increases the lift efficiency and reduces friction. The motor works less,draws less amperage, creates less heat, and produces less noise, which in turn greatly increasesmotor and jack life. The brake motor ensures free to stop at any time, preventing damage caused byhard stops and excessive pressure.
- The 7-way connector plugs into your vehicle connector to let you lift or lower the jack with the push ofa button, no hard wiring is required.
- The plastic connector storage bracket holds your 7-Way connector firmly in place to protect you fromweather, dirt, and damage.
- Your jack is equipped with a new one-piece industrial designed cover for increasing waterproofcoverage. Improved LED lights illuminate the area in front of the jack for superior nighttime visibility.

JACK USE AND CARE
- Do not modify the jack in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications for which the jack was designed.
- Always check for damaged or worn-out parts before using the jack. Broken parts will affect the jack operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
- Store idle jack. When the jack is not in use, store it in a secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
- Do not force the trailer jack. Do not attempt to lift more than the maximum lifting capacity of 5000lbs.
- The trailer jack is designed for vertical loading. Excessive side forces may cause jack failure and must be avoided.
- Never attempt to adjust the drop leg when there is any load on the jack. When using the drop foot or drop leg, make certain the supplied pin is fully inserted through both sides of the inner tube and the drop tube before using the jack.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before installation, compare the lift capacity of the electrical jack with your trailer to ensure the safe operation of the jack.
- Park the trailer on a level surface and block the wheels.
- This trailer jack has been designed to attach to the top surface of the A-frame coupler.
- Disconnect the trailer battery ground trailer.
- Detach the drop leg (#8) of the jack by removing the lock pin and sliding it out.
- Position the drop leg (#8) in line with the mounting hole with the foot of the drop leg on the ground.
- Support the trailer tongue by the frame with jack stands.
- If replacing an old jack, remove the old jack from the coupler, saving the washers and bolts.
- Insert the electric jack into the jack hole and aligning the bolt holes so the motor housing is facing forward as shown in Figure 1.
Tip: For extra clearance and convenience, the connector storage bracket can be removed from the rear of the jack and installed on the trailer, frame, or other convenient location. - Secure the jack with three Grade 5, 3/8in.-16UNC bolts and washers. Remove paint from around one bolt hole on the jack, and from around the matching bolt hole on the trailer tongue. If the paint layer is thick, add a flat washer between the jack and the trailer to provide good contact. Exposed metal can be painted after assembly to prohibit corrosion. Bolts should be tightened to 15-20 ft.-lbs.Tip: The salvaged bolts from the old jack are acceptable for reuse if they are Grade 5 and in good condition. they are Grade 5 and in good condition.
- If a lower support plate is not already present, install one in the bottom of the trailer frame. Do notoperate the jack without a lower support plate.
- Route the wire lead from the plastic cover along with the trailer to the battery. Attach the wire lead to thetrailer using cable ties or equivalent.
- Connect the unit wire lead from the jack directly to the positive terminal of the battery. This unit has a built-in circuit breaker that automatically trips and resets. Reconnect the battery ground This unit includes a 7- way connector; just simply connect the pin connector to the towing vehicle, no hard wiring is required.
Tip: For extra clearance and convenience, the connector storage bracket can be removed from the rear of the jack and installed on the trailer, frame, or other convenient location.
Tip: The trailer connector on the vehicle must match the trailer connector on the jack to power it.Test that the correct terminal is receiving power with a test light. Number 4 on the connector will receive power. Connector number 1 is the neutral ground. Consult a qualified technician on replacing the connector if there is a mismatch between the vehicle and jack connectors.

If you attemptto extend or retract the jack and it does not respond, it may be at the end of the stroke. If the jackfails to respond, try operating it in the opposite direction. If it will not operate in either direction referto the troubleshooting guide.
- After hitching the trailer to a tow vehicle, slide the footpad (#8) fully into the jack tube, secure it with the safety lock pin and retract the jack tube. You may have to raise the jack tube slightly to release pressure on the safety lock pin.
- Before driving, remove the foot or position it in the highest position and completely retract the jack.
