Installation Instructions for 25,000 lb Square Tube Jack
General Installation Notes:
- Ensure installation follows these instructions without modifications or alterations.
- Do not position any part of the body under the jack or load being supported.
- Fully retract and/or rotate the jack before towing.
- Verify the drop leg pin is fully inserted before using the jack.
- Block wheels to prevent rolling during operation.
- Never exceed the maximum rated capacity as marked on the product.
- Avoid excessive side forces that could cause jack failure.
- Replace any bent, broken, or worn parts before use.
- Use only on flat surfaces. For tandem applications, align jacks to share the load equally.
- All welding must be performed by an AWS-certified welder.
- Check for interference in all positions, including handle swing, swivel positions, and while stationary or in motion. Verify there is no interference after installation.
Tools Required:
- Torque wrench
- Welding equipment (if applicable)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Direct Mount to Load-Bearing Member:
- Welding must be performed by an AWS-certified welder.
- Apply three 2-inch-long 1/4” fillet welds on both sides of the jack along the contacting surface. Space welds as far apart as possible for maximum load strength.
- For tandem applications, align the jacks carefully to ensure they raise and lower together, sharing the load equally.
Weld-On Pivot Tube Mounting:
- Weld the non-beveled side of the pivot tube to the trailer tongue using a 1/4” fillet weld.
- Align the pivot mount holes vertically and secure the jack to the pivot tube using the supplied pin.
Drop Leg Operation:
Spring Return Drop Leg:
- Verify the jack is not supporting any load.
- Place your foot on the footplate to control the drop leg's return.
- Rotate the drop leg pin handle to disengage it, then carefully move the leg to the desired position.
- Rotate the pin handle back to engage it into the adjustment holes and ensure it is fully seated.
- Check for no clearance between the pin handle and the cam slot. If not fully engaged, do not use the jack.
Non-Spring Return Drop Leg:
- Verify the jack is not supporting any load.
- Grasp the handle of the footplate to control the descent of the drop leg.
- Rotate the drop leg pin handle to disengage it, then move the leg to the desired position.
- Rotate the pin handle back to engage it into the adjustment holes and ensure it is fully seated.
- Check for no clearance between the pin handle and the cam slot. If not fully engaged, do not use the jack.
Maintenance:
- Lubricate gears, bushings, and screws annually with automotive EP2 grease.
- For side-wind models, use a grease gun at lubrication points near the input shaft and rotate the handle to distribute grease.
- Apply lightweight oil to input shaft bushings and drop leg pin assembly.
- Keep the drop leg pin and twin cam mechanism clean and lubricated monthly.
Safety Notes:
- Fully retract and rotate the jack before towing.
- Keep clear of pinch points and moving components during operation.
- Do not adjust the drop leg while the jack is under load.
