Crisscross the left safety chain under the
coupler and attach to the right mounting slot in
the trailer hitch; repeat with the right safety
chain. Slack for each length should be the
same but not more than necessary to permit
the vehicle to turn at its minimum radius.
WIRE HARNESS/CONNECTOR PLUG
A 7-way wire harness/connector plug is wired
into your trailer to connect electrical power
from the tow vehicle for travel. This supplies
power to the RV brakes, tail lights, clearance
lights, turn signals, brake lights, etc. Wiring to
operate your brakes must be the same size in
both the tow vehicle and RV (the RV brake
wiring is 12-gauge wire). When attaching wires
to your tow vehicle, carefully and tightly tape all
the connections for moisture protection.

The connector plug may build up corrosion
with extended use and should be cleaned
periodically to insure good electrical contact.
Make sure the connector plug is kept clean
and protected from road elements as you
travel.
STABILIZER JACKS
1. Each stabilizer jack can be individually
adjusted to stabilize the trailer for use.
2. When setting your RV up on soft ground,
you may wish to place a wood pad or the
equivalent under each stabilizer jack foot.
This will help keep the stabilizer jack from
sinking into the ground.
3. To lower each jack, insert the jack crank
onto the applicable stabilizer jack shaft.
4. Turn the crank clockwise to lower each leg
until it contacts the ground and stabilizes
the trailer.
To raise each jack, insert the jack crank onto
the applicable stabilizer jack shaft and turn the
crank counter-clockwise.
The stabilizer jacks must be fully retracted
before moving or towing the RV to prevent
stabilizer jack damage.

WARNING
DO NOT USE THE STABILIZER JACKS
TO LEVEL THE RV. It is important to
remember that the stabilizer jacks are to be
used only for support while occupying and
moving around the RV. They are not
designed to bear the weight of the RV.
1. Inspect chains to determine if they are
properly attached to trailer frame.
2. Criss-cross left chain and attach to righ
mounting slot in tow vehicle hitch.
3. Repeat step 2 with right chain. Slack
for each length should be the same but
not more than necessary to permit the
vehicle to turn at their minimum radius.
4. Properly mounted safety chains.
Note that the jack is fully raised
and dolly wheel removed.
