Introduction
The Power Stance™ tongue jack is used with travel trailer A-frame applications. The textured casing helps
protect from chips and cracks. Three LED lights provide excellent illumination while reducing power
consumption. Helical cut gears reduce noise and improve operating efficiency. Enhanced rocker switch
improves its durability. The Power Stance tongue jack is protected by an in-line fuse and has an18” stroke
with a 3,500-lb capacity. A chain holder under the jack head provides a place to store chains when they are
not attached to the tow vehicle.
NOTE: The Power Stance tongue jack is designed for vertical movement of the trailer only.

Troubleshooting
Fuse
The Power Stance tongue jack is provided with a 30A ATO-type in-line fuse which will need to be replaced if
it blows. The battery must be fully charged prior to operating the Power Stance tongue jack.
Low voltage from the battery will cause the fuse to blow prematurely.
NOTE: When RET or EXT on the switch is pushed, the light above the switch (Fig. 3A) will turn on
automatically, and remain on for five minutes. It will then automatically turn off.
Clutch
The Power Stance tongue jack is provided with a clutch and a motor. The clutch will slip under two conditions:
A. The Power Stance tongue jack has reached its extend or retract limit.
B. The tongue weight of the trailer has exceeded the capacity limits of the Power Stance tongue
jack. Items stored in the trailer can vastly influence the weight on the Power Stance tongue jack.
Reorganize stored items if the Power Stance tongue jack motor clutch continues to slip.
Release the switch immediately when clutch noise occurs. The clutch is the overload protection for the
motor. The clutch should not slip during normal operation. Slipping will cause excessive wear to the clutch
and motor.
