Bolt-On Mounting Bracket Instructions:
If using a bolt-on jack, assure the correct mounting hole pattern for your
tongue size. The gap between the mounting bolts and the tongue is not to
exceed 1/16”
1) Place the jack against the tongue and position the mounting straps on the
opposite side of the tongue. Align the holes in the mounting bracket with
the holes in the mounting straps.
2) Insert the 4 bolts through the mounting bracket and mounting straps. The
upper bolts should rest on the top of the tongue. The lower bolts should be
less than 1/16” from the bottom of the tongue.
3) Secure with locknuts, torque to 25 ft. lbs.
4) Check for clearance of handle, trailer light cables, and coupler.

opening on the mount. Place the small end of bushing into the jack bracket
and onto the bolt. Tighten locknut until there is little movement in the bush-
ing. Note: The bolt should be installed between the trailer tongue and
mount, the jack bracket will be held by the bushing between the locknut and
the mount.
“A” Plate Mounting Instructions (Bolt-On or Weld-On):
A-plate jacks are designed for mounting to trailers with A-plate couplers. It is recommended to attach a
bottom support plate to the bottom of the tongue.
1) All welding must be performed by an AWS certified welder.
2) If the “A” plate is separate from the jack, align
the jack (and foot, if
equipped) with the jack
and
coupler as desired before welding. Use
a 3/16” fillet weld.
3) Bolt the jack “A” plate to the coupler. Use three 3/8-16 grade 5
bolts with washers, torque to 15-20 ft. lbs.
4) Weld the recommended support plate to the bottom of the trailer
frame. Use a 3/16” fillet weld.
5) If your jack is a plain mount type, it may be mounted directly to a
coupler with a 3/16” fillet weld. Align
the foot (with the jack
and
coupler) as desired before welding.
6) Rack jacks with a similar “A” plate incorporated into their design
may be attached according to these instructions.
