Do not exceed the weight capacity or the receiver hitch manufacturer’s tongue weight rating.
Failure to acknowledge weight ratings may result in damage to the trailer.
Always make sure all connections between the bicycle rack and the trailer coupler are secure/
tight/ready for travel. Always make sure the bicycles are securely attached to the bicycle rack
before driving.
1. For two bicycles, the best technique is to position the bicycles front-to-back/back-to-front with the
chain ring to the outside.
2. Hang one bicycle on the trailer side of the bicycle rack so the top of the wheels are each supported by
a cradle (Fig. 3).
3. Secure by tensioning each rubber strap over the top of each tire and engaging a strap hole with the
end of the cradle.
4. Use one SwayStop pin to secure at least one wheel below the frame where the wheel crosses the
wing using the same technique with the stop pin rubber strap. A second and optional SwayStop pin is
provided to secure both wheels of the bike to the rack if desired.
5. Repeat for a second bicycle on the tow vehicle side of the bicycle rack.

Dimensions of Assembled Jack-It (Fig. 3)
Check dimensions to ensure adequate clearances for tongue jacks and liquid propane (LP) tanks. Critical
measurements for jacks are inside clearances of 22-1/2” and 18-1/2” for the standard and manual
PowerTowers. The 29-3/16” and 25-3/16” measurements from the coupler to the wing base will determine
LP tank clearance.

Troubleshooting
Manually Operating the Tongue Jack
1. Remove the Stinger (Fig. 4A) from the PowerTower (Fig. 4B) by removing the hairpin cotterpin (Fig. 4C)
from the NoMotion ™ pin (Fig. 4D).
2. Remove the rubber plug located on top of the tongue jack (Fig. 5A) to expose the manual drive shaft
(PowerTower removed for clarity).
3. Utilize the opening in the top of the PowerTower (Fig. 6A) to insert an appropriately-sized ratchet
extension and socket or the tongue jack crank handle to turn the drive shaft and manually raise or
lower the jack.
