Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving
parts. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or
across a Leveling Jack under a load.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. The handle must be kept clean,
dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part

Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels
if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired
while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
Stand clear of the Leveling Jack when attempting to level any trailer or RV.
Never exceed the Jack’s capacity of 5,000 lb. Check the trailer or RV’s manual to
determine the actual gross weight before attempting to level it. This Jack’s weight
capacity is 5,000 lb. only between 13-3/4” and 23-1/2”; the weight capacity dras-
tically reduces as the height drops below this level. Do not apply a load to this
jack below 13-3/4” in height.
Never stand on the Jack and never have people or pets in the trailer or RV you
are attempting to level.
Place the Leveling Jack on a flat, level surface. Only use this Jack on a stable,
clean, dry surface that is capable of sustaining the weight of the Jack and the load it
is stabilizing.
Stabilize the load. Ensure that the load remains stable at all times. Do not move the
load while it is on the Leveling Jack.
Block all of the wheels when leveling an RV or trailer.
