This must be performed prior lowering the stabiliser legs.
Maintenance
The system do not require any maintenance but the function depends of perfect conditions of your stabiliser legs. Turning the spindle
must be easy able to run freely, and light. Rust, dirt, non greased spindels, screwed or deformed spindels will cause an unintended
functionallity. At least ones a year inspect and maintain all moving parts of the original stabiliser legs. Use only light running PTFE oil.
The battery inside the remote must be removed if system is not in use for a longer periode.
The battery have a life time of about 2 years.
Turning on the remote please press and hold the button «ON» more than 3 sec. Successfully turning ON the remote is indicated

Shortly activating the button «down», the legs starts to lower one by one. The sequence starts with R rear, Left rear, R front and
finally L front. Every leg stops automatically when touch down force is reached. After all legs are down, the system perform a extra turn
on each legs to ensure full contact to the surface.
When activating shortly the button «UP», the legs starts one by one to lift. After legs are in top possition, they perform a
loosen-operation by turning half turn down. This ensure the leggs not to block, if not used for a longer periode.

Loosen the stabiliser leg and insertion of the bracket
The bolts holding the stabiliser leg must be loosened (M1). Push in carefully the bracket with the blue adaptor in the gab as indicated
in fig. (M2).
At the same time, if necessary, turn the spindle bolt by hand to make possible insertion of the blue adaptor over the spindle hex bolt.
Push gently the bracket until the adaptor touch the edge of the spindle bolt fig. (M3). Draw 5 mm. backwords to provide space for
movement of the spindle bolt (back and forward).
Re-tighten the bolts fig. (M1)
Fasten the motor
Please turn the motor half way fig. (M4). Possition the motor so the black housing is facing to the bottom plate of the caravan. Turn the
motor in its flexible cables until desired possition. Make sure the cables are bend in a smooth curve as shown in fig. (J). Do never bend
more than 45 degree. Fasten the motor using the two screw provided fig. (M5). Note: The two bolts (A) fig. (M6) must not be tighten
since the gear must be able to follow the up-down movements of the spindle when turning.
Fasten the wires
Please fasten the control unit inside the caravan. Close attachment to the caravan battry is recommended. The red 2" power wire
must be connected via 30 amp. fuse to positive+ battery. Connect the black 2" wire to negative´- battery. Ensure good connections!
Fasten the motor wires in a safe and suitable way and route the ends through whole in cavaran bottom plate. Be carefull when drilling.
Some caravans have floor heating installation! Ensure that the 2 pole connesctors are firmly clicked together with motor part. All
wires have identification each ends. When attachment are finish and wires are inside the caravan, please strip 5 mm. of the ends
and tighten the wires in the screw terminals. Follow the diagram fig. (J)
Finish
Before installation
In order to guarantee a faultless operation and thus exclude the danger to people and objects, this product must be mounted in
accordance with professionals who possess the necessary tecnical knowledge and the necessary tools. The mounting guide must be
read thoroughly. Before starting the mounting you must make sure the mounting kit is complete.
Do alway start the installation with manual check and functionallity of each stabiliser leg. Rotation of the spindle must run freely, and
light. Rust, dirt, non greased spindels, screwed or deformed spindle will cause an unintended functionallity.
The kit contain 4 actuators. Two with black flex and two with gray flex. A pair of these to be mounted each end of the caravan. Fig. (J).
Choose position of the actuator who gives a smooth and easy route of the flexible cables. This will ensure long lasting of the mecanical
cabels.
Please check prior installation that enough space in front of the stabiliser legs are present. In some case it is necessary to create space
by removing plastic part or bending edge of drip-edges. To give better access to the brackets during insertion, the blue adaptor can be
removed temporarily.
Lowering the stabiliser legs
It is helpfull to lower the stabiliser legs a little. This makes it possible to turn, by hand, the spindel a little to match shape of spindle hex
bolt together the inside hex shape of the blue adaptor.
It is essential that gear are able to follow the movements of the spindle (up-down) when turning (bearing clearance). Normally there are
space enough but in some cases it is necessary to provide extra space. In this case insert the shims as shown in fig. (M2)
The system have 3 level of settings. The difference is only how much torque the software allow the stabiliser legs to reach before
it stop the motor action. The factory setting is program no. A. Change of program see: settings. Please test all functions after
end of installation.

Emergency situation
If the system for some reason, is not possible to operate by the remote, you can always use your handle for manual operation by
following this procerure:
The spring holding the adaptor must be removed as shown in fig. (N1). Take away the adaptor from the toothed wheel fig. (N2). This
makes it possible to use your handle. Observe: The adaptor can be a little tight to remove if legs are loaded (legs are down).
Manual operation must NEVER be performed when adaptor is insertet. Using handle or other tool when adaptor is inserted will damage
the gear of the motor. Waranty void.
Re-insert the adaptor
Please press carefully the adaptor into the tooth wheel fig (N2). Supporting the bracket by holding with fingers fig. (N4). To let the
adaptor pass freely over the spindle hex-bolt, turning the spindle a little is sometimes necessary. Fasten the spring as shown i fig. (N3)
ensuring the spring are firmly in the spring groove. Wrong insertion of the adaptor or spring can cause permanent damage of the
gear. Warant void.
Possible reasons of unintented function (stop working)
The system measure the load when the spindles are turning. If the load are too high, even before the legs touch the ground, it is most
likely that the spindles are in poor conditions. Remove the adaptors, check by manual turning and make necessary service to the legs.
Cleaning away carefully the old grease and use thin PTFE oil for long and smooth operation.
Check the battery and fuse condition.
If one or more steady legs are not moving down as intented, please see page 6. «stucked stady leg»
