injury or damage to device.
Do not operate any device when tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or
medications.
Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become entangled with the moving parts of
a device. Keep long hair covered or bound.
Do not overreach when operating a device. Proper footing and balance enable better
control in unexpected situations.
7. SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to the device safety rules. If you use this device unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
Use the correct device for the job. This device was designed for a specic function.
Do not modify or alter this device or use it for an unintended purpose.
Do not attempt to lift more than the 1,800 kg maximum lifting capacity of this jack.
Always place the jack on a hard, level surface capable of supporting the load. Allow
enough clearance around the jack and the load for movement.
Never place any part of your body beneath the trailer that is supported by the jack.
A jack failure or shifting of the trailer may cause it to collapse and cause a serious
injury or death.
Keep your limbs and body away from any pinch or shearing points while using the
jack. Failure to do so may result in a serious injury.
Inspect the jack before each use. DO NOT use if bent, broken, cracked or otherwise
damaged, if any suspect parts are noticed or it has been subjected to a sudden or
unexpected load (shock loading).
Ensure that all applicable pins, bolts, and nuts are rmly tightened before using.
Do not allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
Secure the load, trailer, and vehicle by chocking all the wheels before using.
Do not place your hands between moving components.

USER MANUAL
1,600 KG 12V DC A-Frame Black Jack Trailer Jack™ User Manual V2.6 ©
Use only with accessories rated to handle the forces exerted by the device during
operation. Other accessories may break and forcefully launch pieces.
Once the load is lifted to the desired height, support the load with jack stands to
prevent injury should the jack fail. Do not work under a load that is supported only by
a jack.
Ensure that there are no obstructions under the load and that the area is clear before
lowering it.
Ensure that the lock pin is properly inserted through the inner and outer tubes, and
that there is no load on the trailer before using the manual drop leg extension.
Do not adjust the drop foot while there is a load on the jack.
8. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Disconnect device from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing parts/
accessories or when not in use
Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an increased chance of
electrical shocks if your body is grounded.
Do not expose device to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power device will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not disconnect the leads in place of using the ON/OFF switch on the device. This
will prevent an accidental startup when the leads are connected to the power supply.
Do not alter any parts of the device or accessories. All parts and accessories are
designed with built-in-safety features that may be compromised if altered.
Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your equipment (see
Specications).
Do not operate this device if the leads are frayed or damaged as an electric shock or
surge may occur, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Inspect the leads for cracks, fraying or other faults in the insulation before each use.
Discontinue use if the leads feel more than comfortably warm while operating the
device.
Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electric shock. Do
not touch the leads with wet hands.

8
USER MANUAL
1,600 KG 12V DC A-Frame Black Jack Trailer Jack™ User Manual V2.6 ©
Keep the leads away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Place the leads in a position that prevents them from encountering the device.
Keep any ignition source, such as ames, sparks, or embers away from the battery.
Avoid contact with batteries as they contain sulfuric acid. The acid is corrosive and
can cause skin burns.
Install caps over the battery terminals to prevent accidental contact. Discharged
batteries may still carry charges and cause electric shock upon contact.
9. IDENTIFICATION KEY
Letter references are in parenthesis (A) refer to the included Identication Key.
The Black Jack Trailer Jack also comes with the Black Jack Clamp (Patent Pending
NO 20200902039) and the Black Jack All Weather Cover.

3. Position the jack to face the towing vehicle or the side. The design of the vehicle
may impair the use of the manual crank (L) based on the jack’s orientation.
4. Slide a 3/8 in. star washer (M) between the mounting plate and frame at each
bolt hole.
5. Slide a 3/8-16 in. lock washer onto each of the three 3/8-16 in. bolts, then insert
the bolts through the mounting plate, the star washers and A-frame.
6. Secure each bolt with a 3/8-16 in. hex nut. Tighten the bolts with a torque
wrench to between 15 to 20 ft-lb.
7. Use the Earth cable provided to connect from one of the three bolt positions
on the Black Jack Mounting Plate. Ensure the Star Washers provide has clean
contact to bare metal. Sanding back this point can also improve this metal
on metal contact. Once this has been created attached the other end to your
chassis rail. Pre-drill and use the Tek Screw provided to connect the earth
cable. Remove the foot plate (F) and position it below the hole in the Black Jack
Mounting Bracket.
8. Unravel the black wire and lay it out along the A-frame to the battery. Secure
the wire with cable ties. Position the cable in a way to protect it from damage if
possible. Connect the wire lead to the battery’s positive terminal (+).

9. Extend the jack until it clears the hitch or the jack stands. Move the jack stands
aside if necessary.
10. Raise or lower the trailer jack until the bubble level indicates the trailer is
horizontal and centered.
11. Place the bubble level back into the housing so it remains centered.
12. Screw all three retaining screws back into the cover. Adjust each screw until
they are tight, and the bubble is centered.
13. The adjustment is complete. You may wish to raise the jack enough to allow the
jack stands to be moved back into place. Once they are in position, retract the
jack fully.
12. OPERATION

2. Australian Standards for Gas Installations in Caravans
Gas Installations in Caravans AS\NZS 5601.2.2010 & Amendment N0.1 to AS/
NZS 5601.2.2013 (Standard)
The Standard requires that an “ignition source” cannot be located within the
clearances of an exchange gas cylinder as set out in the diagram below. The
E8394

16
USER MANUAL
1,600 KG 12V DC A-Frame Black Jack Trailer Jack™ User Manual V2.6 ©
standard denes an “ignition source” as:
“A source of energy sucient to ignite a ammable mixture and includes,
but is not limited to naked ames, exposed incandescent material, electrical
welding arcs, and any electrical or mechanical equipment not suitable for use in
hazardous locations”.
The Black Jack is dened as “electrical equipment” however the standard does
not dene or provide a criterion for the term “not suitable”. However, we conrm:
A. The Black Jack contains two Single Pole 12VDC rocker switches: an LED
Light ON-OFF switch and an UP–DOWN momentary switch. Both switches
are enclosed and carry an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of 64, meaning
they are completely dust tight and water tight from splashing water.
B. The Circuit protection used in the Black Jack is dened as a 12VDC Short
Stop Automatic Resettable Circuit Breaker. Ignition Protected, IP66,
meaning they are completely dust tight and protected against powerful jets
of water. Maximum current rating of 30amps @12DVC.
C. The 12VDC motor in the Black Jack is brushless and fully encapsulated
with maximum 28-amp current draw @ 12VDC.
D. All hard-wired terminal connections are located within the plastic cover
head housing.
Based on A. to D. above, the 12 volt DC components in the Black Jack, whilst
being deemed “electrical equipment” are not considered an ignition source in
keeping with the Australian Standard’s broad denition that includes “naked
ames, welding arcs etc., that are sucient to ignite a ammable mixture”.
