WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & PRODUCT DAMAGE
• Do not operate jack set if camper exceeds gross vehicle weight rating.
• Maintain proper load distribution and safe distance when raising or
lowering camper.
• Never walk under the camper when it is extended on the jacks.
• Only operate jacks when camper is unoccupied and contents are
secured and properly distributed.
• Position swing out brackets properly. In the Extended Position - 90°
outward to the side of camper ( FIG 3-A) and in the Retracted
Position - 60° inward to the side of camper (
FIG 3-B).
• Jack bracket must be in retracted position when traveling on roadway
(
FIG 3-B).
OPERATION
Extended Position -
Lift jack and swing outward from camper body to
clear truck’s dual wheel fenders. When jack is in the extended position,
be sure the bracket attached to the jack (
FIG 2-D) rides up into the notch
in the camper corner angle bracket attached to the camper ( FIG 2-D).
This must be done visually prior to loading jack.
Retracted Position - After the jack is retracted, lift the jack and rotate it
forward (inward) so when released, the bracket attached to the jack rides
down into the notch in the camper corner angle (
FIG 2-E).
MAINTENANCE
1. Spray entire bracket with silicon spray lubricant at least once each
camping season. Wipe off excess.
2. Regularly observe swingout brackets for unusual wear, weld
imperfections or cracks, or any condition that compromises
performance.
3. Should problems, concerns or questions arise contact your Dealer,
Camper Manufacturer or the Atwood Service Department at
