VIP 3000 POWER JACK OWNER'S INSTRUCTIONS

P/N 30826 (WHITE) or P/N 32453 (BLACK)

H&H Engineering VIP 3,000 Power Jack is designed to lift up to 3,000 pounds a full 18". It's design also includes a night light, built-in leveling device,
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.

GENERAL SAFETY:
Read and understand the Jack installation instructions. Always block trailer wheel when using the jack. Since there are moving parts inside the jack, be
careful of loose clothing, remove or secure loose jewelry (watches, rings, etc.).

BEFORE INSTALLATION:

Remove present

jack

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.

INSTALLATION:

30 amp slow blow fuse

"A" frame coupler

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
and .50" lockwasher (supplied in hardware bag).

Connect the lead-wire directly to the positive (+) lead of
the travel trailer's battery using a twelve (12) gage wire.
Be sure the connection is a good one. THE 30 AMP
SLO-BLO FUSE MUST BE INSTALLED AS SHOWN.

Make sure powdercoat
or paint is removed from
"A" frame coupler under
washer and that tagged
hole is used.

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.

INITIAL SET-UP AND HOW TO USE YOUR VIP POWER JACK LEVEL:

1. Install your VIP Power Jack (SEE INSTALLATION above).

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.
