Installation Instructions
Scout Trailer Kit
Part#87400/87400-01
32. Attach stabilizer jack mounts to the rear of the trailer, secure with stainless steel pull pin and hair pin. Use
the jam bolt at the bottom of the mount to take up slack of the jack mount. Always tighten jam bolt
before using jacks. If more ground clearance or departure angle is needed, remove and store the jacks and
jack mounts. Jacks will attach to the jack mounts using the pull pin that is attached to the jack. When using
the jack it is best to install pull pin in a vertical orientation, as this will reduce the amount of teetering the
jack will do on the jack mount. Even though the jacks feature a large footprint, when using the jacks on
soft surfaces you may want to use some kind of jack base to prevent the jack from sinking. Use jacks to
level the trailer using minimal lift heights. Excessive unevenness of the trailer should be leveled with
wheel ramps which are available at most RV and trailer accessory shops. Always stow jacks before
attempting to move trailer. If your Tongue Jack and stabilizer Jacks have to travel a long ways down it can
stress them or damage them. To prevent damage you should pile up some jack pads or pieces of board to
decrease the distance that your jacks have to travel. It is a good practice to always have at least one jack
pad under each jack, so that the jacks do not sink into the ground or cause damage to the surface of the
ground they are sitting on. Use your tongue jack for front to rear leveling. Fig 36 +37 shows in use
position. Always deploy stabilizer jacks before unloading trailer or using a roof top tent. Maintain jacks by
greasing the zerk fitting, then rotating jack handle to distribute grease. Grease your jack at least every
year. Keep jack shaft clean.
