INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
If it is necessary to change the position of the powerhead relative to the post and flange (in order to provide clearance between powerhead and LP gas bottle
or LP gas cover, or more clearance between the lift gate and the powerhead) loosen set screws and rotate head without lifting off coupling. Retighten
set screws when head is in desired position.
BEFORE INSTALLATION:
Raise your travel trailer's front end and place blocks or stabalizing jacks
under the front "A" frame. Lower the trailer until it rests securely on
stabilizing jacks or blocks. Retract present jack and remove.
H&H Engineering VIP 3,500 Power Jack is designed to lift up to 3,500 pounds a full 18". It's design also includes a night light, attached foot plate, and an
emergency crank handle. An important part of owning and using a VIP Jack is being sure it is properly installed and serviced.

IMPORTANT
To insure a good
electrical ground an
internal tooth lock-
washer must be in
place for this bolt.
Make sure powdercoat
or paint is removed from
"A" frame coupler under
washer and that tagged
hole is used.
The bolts should
already be on
your trailer.
Install Jack in hole and secure with 3 bolts & 3 internal tooth lockwashers (bolt holes are threaded). The 3 bolts should already be
on your trailer. The 3 internal lockwashers are supplied by us (in hardware bag). Attach the foot plate to VIP Jack with .50-20 bolt

INITIAL SET-UP AND HOW TO USE YOUR VIP POWER JACK LEVEL:
1. Install your VIP Power Jack (SEE INSTALLATION PAGE 1).
2. Place a small level inside your RV on a surface you want to level. This might be a counter top or freezer compartment of a refrigerator.
NOTE: It will be necessary to move this level to check side to side and front to back condition.
3.
Check the "inside level", level your trailer from side to side with stabilizing jacks or boards under the wheels.
4. Checking the "inside level", level your trailer front to back using your VIP Power Jack.
5. Carefully adjust the 3 stainless steel screws on the ring that surround the built in bulls-eye level (see picture) until the air bubble is inside the middle
circle. Your trailer will then be leveled.
In the future, you can do all your
leveling by using your VIP Power
Jack built-in level.

Once a year, the powerhead should be removed and a liberal amount
of grease (preferably a grease with high melting point) applied directly
to the coupling on which the drive pin rests.
DO NOT POUR OIL into top of the jack post.
Once a year, the housing cover should be removed and the gears
inspected for proper lubrication.
Remove 4 screws and tap around edge of housing to free cover.
DO NOT insert screw driver blade! (This may damage mating
surfaces.)
Before replacing cover, clean matging surfaces.
If lubrication is needed, use Mobilith 460 grease or equivalent.
