Unloading
Open the release valve on one of the front jacks 2 -
3 turns.
With the release valve open, loosen and move the
safety catch and push the inner leg tube to the ground. Unless you are unloading on a
concrete surface, a 1/2" thick piece of plywood, 6" square, is recommended to be
placed under the leg pad of each jack. This should keep the jack from sinking into any
soft ground. If it doesn't, do not unload camper until steps have been taken to ensure the
jacks do not sink. Repeat the same procedure for the other three jacks. By the time you
return to the first jack it should now be sufficiently primed to operate right away.
Inspect camper to ensure all tie downs and electrical
attachments are disconnected from the truck body.
Close the release valve and with the pump handle
inserted into the linkage assembly, pump one of the FRONT jacks up 4" - 5".
Repeat the same procedure for the other FRONT jack. Next, follow the same procedure for
the two REAR jacks.
Adjust the jacks individually to ensure the camper is
level.
Remove the truck SLOWLY. Be very careful not to hit
any of the jacks and/or camper, as the hit would likely damage the hydraulic system of the
jack(s) and the camper.
To LOWER the camper, carefully open the release valve
on one of the REAR jacks and leave open. Then open the release valve on the other REAR
jack and lower approx. 4". Close the release valves on BOTH jacks. Next lower a FRONT
jack approx. 4". Repeat the same on the other FRONT jack. Always keep rear of camper
slightly lower than the front.
The circuit can then be repeated until camper is at a
desired level. The camper should be lowered near to the ground onto storage blocks.
Remove and store handle in a convenient place.

Loading
Ensure all release valves are closed.
Pump the FRONT jacks up about 4" - 5" and
then repeat the same for the REAR jacks. Continue until the camper will clear the truck
box.
CAUTION: Use extreme care not to hit any of the jacks
or camper while you are backing your truck under the camper.
When the truck and camper are aligned, slowly lower
the camper to the truck box deck by alternately lowering each jack ( by slowly opening the
release valve ) approx. 3" at a time. It is recommended the FRONT jacks be lowered
3" and then the REAR jacks 3" to avoid having the camper in an unstable
situation.
After the camper has been securely tied down to the
truck, the jack inner tube can be pushed back up inside the outer tube by opening the
release valve about 3 full turns. Fasten the safety catch and close the release valve.
Crack the release valve open about a 1/4 turn to avoid a build up of pressure in the
cylinder section of the jack during hot temperature weather. Repeat the same on all the
jacks.
