CAUTION !!! If your jacks are ball screw
type, with tube welded to side of gear box,
make sure your camper is on your truck or
supported on blocks, so that the camper
cannot tip over while you are working on
this conversion!
Note -The installation instructions for this
conversion kit follow. Basic instructions
are shown for the Acme screw drive jacks.
Alternate instructions are included for
installation of the conversion kit on Atwood
ball screw drive jacks.
REMINDER:
Make sure your camper is supported by
your truck bed or on blocks to prevent it
from tipping over while you do this electric
conversion. Revised 8-24-08

Alternate Instructions- Atwood Ball Screw Jack
CAUTION !!! IF YOUR JACKS ARE ATWOOD BALL SCREW TYPE(HAVE TUBE-WELDED TO SIDE OF THE GEAR
BOX), AND YOUR CAMPER IS NOT ON YOUR TRUCK, SUPPORT IT ON BLOCKS SO THAT ANY JACK CAN BE
REMOVED WITHOUT THE CAMPER BECOMING UNSTABLE.
The foregoing mechanical instructions apply to the Atwood Acme Screw Drive Jack. The Atwood Ball Screw Drive Jack has
two major variations in design, which change the Acme Screw Drive jack installations as follows:
1. It has a tube which houses the manual crank. This tube is welded to the gear box housing, and must be
removed as it is no longer needed. Remove it with a hack saw and grind it flush with the side of the gear box.
(see sketch below)
2. The horizontal bevel gear is held in place by a nut, which must be removed. If the nut is round and knurled,
use a vise-grip pliers to take it off. If the nut is hex head, use a 14 mm open end wrench.
3. Lift the horizontal bevel gear and the ball bearing off the jack post drive pin. Keep the loose drive pin in the
jack post.
The electrical installation instructions are almost the same. Since the ball screw is a right hand thread, you must
connect the red wire to the negative terminal and the black wire to the positive terminal on the receiver terminal
strip connecting the receiver to the jacks. This will cause jacks to go up when the up button is pressed on the
transmitter. Do not do this to the power terminals. On power terminals, connect the red wire to the positive
terminal and the black wire to the negative terminal. If any existing wiring is in the camper from a previous
installation, discard it and install new to assure the proper wire size and circuitry. Remote controlled electric
jacks require different circuitry than switch operated electric jacks.
In addition to the tools listed as required, add a hand hacksaw, a vise-grip pliers (or 14mm open end wrench) and a
portable hand grinder or file.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION (continued)
6. Obtain the gearmotor mounting bracket. Position it so that the 11/16 diameter holes line up with the holes in
the jack gearbox. The mounting bracket collar is offset 1/8” to one side. On Rieco-Titan jacks, install bracket
so that the bracket offset matches offset in gearbox. On Atwood jacks, mount bracket without regard to offset
in bracket. Gearbox drive pin and mounting bracket hole must be aligned vertically with torque tube, so that
the slots engage the drive pin on the jackpost driveshaft. Turn torque tube with screwdriver to line up drive
pin as shown in Figure 2.
7. Obtain the two 5/8 Cap Screws and two locknuts and assemble them into the holes in the gearmotor mounting
bracket and jack gearbox. Start the locknuts inside the jack gearbox. (As shown in Figure 2)
8. Tighten cap screws and locknuts using a 15/16” open wrench inside, adjustable wrench outside.
9. Obtain a gearmotor, a plastic gearbox cover, and a rubber gasket.
10. Position the plastic gearbox cover , the rubber gasket and gearmotor onto the collar of the gearmotor
mounting bracket. Make sure that the gearmotor drive pin lines up as shown on figure 2 and that the slot in
the torque tube engages freely. Tighten the three set screws in the gearmotor hub to fasten them in place.
11. !!! Check and tighten the lag screws holding the jacks and mounting brackets to the camper. Repeat steps 3
through 11 on the remaining jacks.
12. As a final installation procedure, it is necessary that you coat the entire surface of the jacks and brackets with
a liquid wax such as Mother’s Polish, McGuires, or Turtle Wax. An excellent alternate is Mercury’s
Corrosion Guard. This will prevent corrosion and maintain the beauty of the jacks.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. The electric jack kit comes equipped with four (4) female receptacles and cords. Each jack has a cord with a
male plug that accesses power through the receptacle. The receptacle must be mounted in close proximity to
the jack near each corner of the camper.
2. Wire the receptacles as shown on the diagram in figure 3. The receptacle is a flange design which fits snugly
into a 7/8" diameter hole which must be drilled into the exterior wall of the camper. Fasten to the camper
wall with two screws 6“ from the edge of the camper.
3. Interior wires connecting the receptacles to the receiver control box should be #10 AWG copper stranded 600
V, UL wire, using locking spade connectors for #10 studs.
4. The interior wiring from these receptacles can be routed up to the top of the camper, and run above the
ceiling line to avoid the tedious routing through the various lower compartment walls. Alternately, they can
be brought out and routed externally to a point where they re-enter the camper for connection to the receiver
control box terminals.
5. Install a heavy duty Marine/RV battery in the camper with charging provisions. Locate the battery in a
separate compartment, but near the receiver control box.
Revised 8-24-08

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION ( continued )
6. Connect the two wires from each jack to the receiver. The left front jack should be connected to the receiver
terminals marked LF. The right front to the RF terminals, and so on for the rear jacks. Each set of
terminals has a (+) and a (-) side. Connect according to the wiring diagram shown in figure 3. Red wire is
positive; black wire is negative.
7. Mount the receiver control box near a compartment door to maximize transmitter wire length outside the
camper.Also, locate it as close to the battery compartment as feasible. Use #8 AWG wire to connect the
battery terminals to the power input terminals in the receiver control box. Use a ring connector (or split wire)
8. !!! Install a 60 amp circuit breaker in the wiring to protect the receiver control box electronics.*
9. The negative lead from the battery must be connected to the negative terminal, and the positive lead from the
battery must connect to the positive terminal in the receiver control box. !!! ( See special note of caution,
below )
10. The transmitter can be used in either one of these modes: (1) Wired, with a cable and plug connection to the
receiver control box or remote switch panel (2) Wireless, which is operated with a 12 volt battery, sending
radio frequency signals to an antennae in the receiver control box.
11. A remote “ on-off “ switch panel is provided to control the power to the system. This switch should be
mounted inside the camper, near the door. The switch is equipped with an LED light which is lit when the
power is on. The power stays on for 15 minutes, and then automatically shuts off along with the LED light,
stopping any possible operation of the jack system. (This safety feature eliminates the need to remember to
switch the system "off") Plug the attached cable from the remote switch panel into the receiver control box.
Whenever the LED light is off, it will be necessary to press the "on" switch to restore power to the system to
operate the jacks. The receiver control box and the remote switch panel have manual off controls.
12. The wireless transmitter needs no wired connection from the transmitter to the receiver control box, but
instead, an antennae wire is provided to pick up the RF (radio frequency) commands.
!!! CAUTION !!! Do not connect 12VDC power from the battery to any receiver terminals except the two 12VDC battery
terminals marked on the receiver case. To do so will burn out the receiver. This is not covered by the warranty.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION ( continued )
13. To ensure that your operating signal of the system is secure, both the transmitter and the receiver control box
have identical 7 actuator, 21 position code switches. You may want to change the codes on the switches. The
actuators must be set to match each other in both the transmitter and the receiver control box. The 21
possible positions provide you with about 1.5 million combinations, so the odds of having the same code as
someone nearby are almost impossible, after you have changed the codes. Follow the instructions on the next
page.
Fig. 3
Use #8 AWG wire between receiver control box & battery.
Use #10 AWG wire between receiver and jacks.
IN ORDER TO OPERATE THIS ELECTRIC JACK SYSTEM, IT IS NECESSARY TO INSTALL A
HEAVY DUTY MARINE/RV BATTERY WITH PROVISION TO KEEP THE BATTERY
CHARGED. LOCATE IT IN A SEPARATE SITE, BUT NEAR THE RECEIVER.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION ( Continued )
14. CODE SWITCH SETTING The codes in the code switches are set at the factory to match both the receiver
and the transmitter as a set. If you wish to reset the codes to your own selection, follow this procedure: The
code switches are located inside the receiver, and inside the transmitter.
a. Remove the four screws and the cover.
b. Inside the enclosure, locate the code switch block. There are seven (7) switches. Each switch has
three (3) positions +, 0 , —.
c. As you read the numbers left to right, set the switches to one of the three positions on each switch.
d. Record your setting on a slip of paper i.e. sw 1=0 or sw 1=+ or sw= —. Proceed to record all seven (7)
settings in this fashion.
e. Take your recorded switch settings to the next unit to be set and begin setting switches left to right as
shown on your recorded slip of paper, making the settings exactly the same as the last unit set.
f. Put the receiver and the transmitter side by side and carefully check to make sure that they are set
identically.
g. Replace the covers on both units and save the code setting record for future reference. (On units that
have serial numbers, a code setting is given at the factory. This setting can be used as is or any new
setting should be recorded.)
NOTE : IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CODE SETTING LIST FROM YOUR DEALER, OR IF YOU DO NOT
HAVE A SERIAL NUMBER AFFIXED TO YOUR RECEIVER OR TRANSMITTER, THE CODES ARE
ALL AT "0", AND YOU SHOULD RESET THEM TO A CODE OF YOUR SELECTION. IF YOU HAVE
SERIAL NUMBERS ON YOUR UNITS, YOUR FACTORY CODE SETTING IS AVAILABLE FROM
RIECO-TITAN PRODUCTS, INC.
15. Our new receiver control box is equipped with an LED light in the top for each jack circuit. When the jack is
activated by the remote button control, the LED for that jack or jacks is illuminated indicating a completed
circuit. Also included inside the box are eight 30 amp automotive blade type fuses (2 per jack). If a short
circuit occurs, or a current overload happens, the fuse will burn protecting the electronics and the motors.
It is important to find the cause of the blown fuse before replacing the fuse.
16. EMERGENCY REMOTE CONTROL The electronic control system now includes a remote emergency
button control, which can take a great deal of the exasperation and sweat out of the lost or damaged remote
control situation. The emergency button control is colored bright red, and is intended for use in emergency
situations only. It will operate your electric jacks with electricity, rather than have you mechanically crank
them to get you on the road again. This new control operates in the wired mode only, not RF (wireless) , but
will do the job. It will be found attached to the receiver control box in the camper. The control comes with a
special red connector wire to plug into the remote switch panel to operate the system. We suggest that as
soon as a replacement is obtained for the lost or damaged remote control, the emergency units be returned to
their storage location for possible future emergency use. This emergency control has the same security code
setting as your regular remote and receiver control box.

Fig. 4
The “C” clamp and the 5” bracket are intended to be used when
the camper manufacturer recommends their use. When they are
called for, use three (3) bolts on the 13” bracket and one (1) on
the 5” bracket. The 5” bracket is used on the left and right rear
of the camper beneath the 13” bracket.
Fig. 5
The wired remote transmitter is shown here. It is the electrical
control device that operates the electric jacks. The operation
buttons are arranged by jack location. The left side is the
driver’s side, and the right side is the passenger’s side of the
camper. The top section buttons control the front jacks, middle
section, all jacks and the bottom section, the rear jacks. The
“UP” arrow signifies lift the camper, while the “DOWN” arrow
means lower the camper. The cable on the wired transmitter is
plugged into the remote switch panel. * The wireless transmitter
contains a 12-volt battery to power the RF (radio frequency)
signal commands it sends to the antenna coming out of the
receiver control box.
* For best wireless performance of the electric jack controls, it is
recommended that you install a fresh battery in the hand held
remote control at the begining of each season ( 1 per year ) This
will insure that the radio control signal is strong and effective.
The battery is # A-23 12 Volt Alkaline. It is available at
Walgreens, Radio Shack, and battery stores.
* The transmitter cable can also be plugged directly into the
receiver control box.
NOTE: THE BUTTONS ON THE TRANSMITTER FUNCTION AS FOLLOWS:
THE “UP” ARROW SIGNIFIES LIFT THE CAMPER, WHILE THE “DOWN”
ARROW MEANS LOWER THE CAMPER.

!!! FOLLOW THE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS LISTED BELOW TO AVOID
POSSIBLE INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
1. This jack system is designed and intended for loading, unloading, and stabilizing your truck
camper while in storage. Do not allow a person or persons in your camper while the jacks
are in use.
2. Never exceed the rated capacity of your camper and jack system. This jack system is rated at
2,500 lbs. per jack, 5,000 lbs. net camper weight.
3. Do not store your camper in a windy area, or on spongy soil. Do not place blocks under your
jacks for additional lift or clearance. These jacks lift a full 36".
4. Maintain a fully charged battery.
5. When using jacks, always remain in full view of jacks being moved.
6. Never raise the rear of the camper higher than the front of the camper.
7. In freezing weather, when your camper is up on jacks, be aware that your jack footpads may
be buried or frozen in ice. This can cause damage to the corners of your camper when you
lift the jacks off the ground. Clear off any ice before you lift the jacks up.
8. Always keep the power switch in the “OFF” position when system is not in use.
9. Never over- extend or over- retract jacks past their full travel limits. Jacks have a slip clutch
that prevents damage. However, when a clicking noise is heard, release the transmitter
button immediately. The wiring is equipped with circuit breakers that automatically reset in
20 seconds if motors become over heated.
10. Store transmitter in a secure location inaccessible to children.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
UNLOADING THE CAMPER
1. !!! Disconnect all camper tie downs and electric devices from truck. Always keep front of
camper higher or level with rear of the camper.
2. Push the power switch "ON". This powers the jack system so that one, two or four jacks
may be actuated simultaneously.
3. Press the "UP" buttons on the transmitter for the two front jacks until the jacks make
contact with the ground.
4. Repeat step 3 for the two rear jacks.
5. Press the "UP" buttons for the two front jacks, raise the front of the camper 3-4".
6. Press the "UP" buttons for the two rear jacks until the rear of the camper is level with the
front.
7. Continue the above lifting procedure until the camper is approximately 6" above the truck
bed or until it clears the highest point on the truck bed.
8. !!! Carefully drive the truck forward taking care not to hit or rub the camper jacks, truck
wheels or fenders.
LOWERING THE CAMPER
Always lower the rear of the camper first, 3-4" at a time. Lower the rear jacks then the front jacks
until they are level with the rear. Then lower the rear jacks again. Continue this procedure until the
desired height is reached. Turn off power on the receiver control box when lowering is complete.

LOADING THE CAMPER
1. Push the rocker switch "ON" in the receiver unit or the remote switch panel.
2. Press the "UP" buttons on the transmitter until the two front jacks have raised the camper
3-4".
3. Raise the two rear jacks 3-4" until level with front.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until camper is approximately 6" above truck bed or highest point on
truck bed.
5. !!! Back truck carefully under the camper, making sure to not hit or rub the camper jacks,
truck wheels or fenders.
6. Make sure any ice is cleared away from the jack footpads(see safety recommendations, page
9)
7. Lower the camper onto the truck by following the instructions in the "LOWERING THE
CAMPER" section.
MANUAL OPERATION
If the battery power is low, switch the power "OFF" to the receiver. This will eliminate the dynamic
braking effect of the motor. Remove the access cap on the top of the powerhead. The crank shaft of
the gearbox will be accessible to turn with a 3/8" ratchet wrench. Rotate the wrench counter-
clockwise to raise the jack and clockwise to lower the jack. Do not activate the motor with the
wrench still on the crank shaft.
CAMPER STORAGE
Jacks can be used for permanent storage. However, for best stability, set the camper on blocks, and
use the jacks for stabilizing only.
LIFTING AND LOWERING - ALL JACKS MODE
The front jacks lift the heaviest load, and consequently will raise slower than the rear jacks.
Conversely, the front jacks will lower faster than the rear jacks. This phenomenon will be
most noticeable when using the "ALL" jacks button on the transmitter. It is necessary that the
camper level condition be closely watched so as to prevent the rear of the camper from being at
a higher level than the front. It will be necessary to stop the "ALL" jacks operation to keep the level
condition of the camper even front to back and side to side.
MAINTENANCE
The internal parts of the jack system are permanently lubricated and should not require further
lubrication. Once each year, run each jack out to its full extent, and clean the outer surface of the
inner tube. Spray this surface with silicone spray lubricant. Clean outer surface of housing and spray
the manual crank shaft with silicone lubricant. Apply a good auto wax to the outer surfaces of the
jack system to maintain an attractive appearance. In coastal, rainy, or humid areas, we recommend
that a liquid wax such as Mother’s Polish, McGuires, or Turtle Wax be applied to the entire surface
of the jacks and brackets. Keep the wax intact with a spray wax periodically. Repeat each year. An
excellent alternate is Mercury’s Corrosion Guard.
The electronic components of the jack system also require very little maintenance. The remote
transmitter can be cleaned periodically with a soft damp cloth. Solvents or cleaners are
to be avoided since they can leak inside causing electrical damage. Wipe battery contacts with a dry
lint-free cloth. If the transmitter or receiver get wet, open their respective covers, and dry thoroughly
before re-using. Doc. Date 8-24-08 Rev. Date 2-02-09

TROUBLE SHOOTING
For any control or electrical malfunction, check the following things to find the cause:
-- Make sure that the receiver power switch is "ON".
-- Make sure all cables are firmly plugged into the receptacles. Re-plug if jack is not responding.
-- Check camper batteries for charge status.
-- Check transmitter for wetness or damage.
-- Check transmitter battery and code switches to make sure they match those in control box.
After checking the above, if a jack in the system will not operate, replace it, or have it repaired.
