Preparation
- Applicable tongue jack or stabilizer owner's manual with operation, override and troubleshooting instructions.
- Frame supports as per manufacturers recommendations.
Manual Override
Most stabilizers and tongue jacks come equipped with a manual override system.
NOTE: The manual override procedure must be performed individually on each motor of PSX2 in order to manually extend or retract the stabilizer legs.
Manual Operation For Stabilizers
[Caution Symbol] The gears can be stripped if the stabilizer legs are retracted/extended to the fullest extent and the operator continues to rotate the manual override. Do NOT use a power tool to extend or retract stabilizers.
[Caution Symbol] Operating the stabilizer without grease on the screw could lead to product failure.
- If equipped, disconnect one of the wire leads from the motor to prevent backfeeding the motor.
- Insert the 1½" pin over the nut or coupler and pin n the end of the stabilizer (refer to Figure 1). The slot in the end of the Manual Override Wrench (refer to Figure 2) accommodates the pin on the coupler (refer to Figure 1) to allow the manual extension/retraction of the stabilizer legs. Rotate the Manual Override Wrench clockwise to extend or counterclockwise to retract the stabilizer legs.
NOTE: Make sure the stabilizer legs are fully retracted before moving the trailer.

- Open the rubber plug on top of the tongue jack's gearbox (refer to Figure 3A) to expose the manual drive shaft.
- Insert the Manual Override Wrench (refer to Figure 4).
- Turn the crank handle counterclockwise to retract the jack leg or clockwise to extend the jack leg.
