IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage:
1. DO NOT leave your trailer free standing without the use of wheel chocks.
2. DO NOT submerge the jack in water (salt or fresh) or leave it in water for prolonged
periods, since this can damage the gears and erode lubricants.
3. Carefully read all instructions. The operator of the jack must exercise common sense,
caution, and full judgment when assessing situations not covered or cautioned in this
manual.
4. The Blackout Jack is designed for specific applications only. Blackout will not be
responsible for issues arising from modifications made onto the device. Do not modify
the device or use the device for any application other than its intended purpose. Do not
exceed the designated weight limits.
5. As with all devices with moving parts, do not wear excessively loose clothing as it may
become caught, resulting in injury. Tie back and secure long hair.
6. This product must be installed and used in strict accordance with these instructions.
7. Before each use of the Blackout Jack, check for damaged parts. Carefully inspect the
device for any part that appears to be damaged to determine if the device will operate
properly. Check for alignment and secure mounting of all moving parts. If the device is
neither aligned, secured, or both: DO NOT use the device.
8. When servicing, use only factory replacement parts.
9. Have wheel chocks in place before/after use and ready in case of emergency.
10. Never exceed the maximum rated capacity. Refer to the specifications section of this
operating manual or decals on the product to obtain rated capacity. If uncertain, contact
Customer Support at [phone].

and must be avoided.

Cylindrical tongues are not compatible with the jack as it will rotate, allowing the trailer to
drop.
