of this product for long term or permanent occupancy may lead to premature<br />

Leveling and Stabilizing<br />

When you plan to stay in the same place for several days, weeks or months,<br />

you will want your trailer to be as level and steady as possible. Check the<br />

attitude with a small spirit level set on the inside work counter or the trailer<br />

hitch “A-Frame”. (See Diagram Below) If a correction is necessary then YOU<br />

MUST LEVEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE FIRST This can he done easily by backing<br />

the trailer up one or more 2” x 6” boards. (See Diagram) We do not recommend<br />

placing tires in a hole for leveling.<br />

LEVEL FROM FRONT TO REAR by disconnecting the hitch from the tow<br />

vehicle, putting the jack pad under the hitch jack and adjusting the jack up<br />

or down until you are level. Block or chock the wheels to keep the trailer from<br />

rolling. Use STABILIZING JACKS at all four corners as shown in the diagram to<br />

eliminate the natural spring action of the axles.<br />

NOTICE: Optional STABILIZING JACKS, whether manual or power, should only<br />

be used to stabilize trailer.<br />

Warning: Whenever the trailer must be lifted with a jack, as<br />

when changing a tire or leveling on very rough terrain, ALWAYS PLACE<br />

THE LIFTING JACK UNDER THE MAIN FRAME RAIL. A label is provided to<br />

indicate the proper position for the jack. NEVER USE STABILIZING JACKS<br />

TO LIFT THE TRAILER.<br />
