POWER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
On a trailer equipped with a Venture Mfg. Co. 12VDC Power Kit follow the same
procedures as “MANUAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” except, operate the
switch control to EXT (extend) or RET (retract) as indicated.
Power Kit is equipped with an overload clutch and a 30 AMP fuse. If fuse
blows during normal operation replace fuse (located on the pink wire) with
standard 30 AMP AGC type fuse. Verify battery is fully charged before
attempting further operation. If clutch slips it may indicate you have reached the
extend or retract limits of the jacks OR the trailer weight has exceeded the max
rated load of the Landing Gear system. Items stored inside/on the trailer can
greatly affect the weight applied to Landing Gear system. If clutch consistently
slips during normal operation, redistribute items stored in the trailer.
CAUTION
• When clutch noise occurs, release the switch. Failure to do so may also destroy
the clutch, in which case the entire power kit will have to be replaced.
• Potential damage to the trailer frame may occur if legs or power kits are operated
unevenly. Front of trailer must remain horizontal.
MANUAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For manual operation of fifth wheel landing gear on a trailer not equipped with a
12VDC power kit, or if power is not available, proceed as follows:
• Drop Leg Operation: Disengage drop leg safety retaining pin to lower or raise foot
plate to desired position, return the safety retaining pin making sure it is fully inserted
through both the inner tube and the drop leg tube before using the jack.
• To Extend: (1) Attach the manual crank handle and crank until the inner tube is
halfway to the ground. (2) Remove the safety retaining pin from the drop leg tube. Let
the drop tube fall to the ground and re-pin in the nearest adjustment hole. (3) Continue
extending landing legs until pin box disengages from the hitch and the trailer’s weight
is completely removed from the hitch. (4) When there is sufficient clearance between
the pin box and hitch, move tow vehicle clear of trailer. Never drop trailer off the
hitch. (5) Lower trailer until it is level. (6) Remove and store crank handle.
• To Retract: Perform “To Extend” instructions in reverse. Be certain the landing gear
legs are fully retracted; drop legs are re-pinned in the fully retracted position; and foot
plate is higher than the lowest point of the trailer to prevent dragging. Remove and
store the crank handle.
