chief916 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Had a friend call me that he had just bought a big horse trailer and when he went to disconnect from the truck he couldn't get the gear down. Mine are hydraulic so I wasn't much help. He said the battery's are brand new. He didn't see a place to crank them down manually. Could he find a place where he could stick a drill motor??? Said he didn't see any where to use a drill. Anybody out there care to enlighten us. Thanks Chief916 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Dreamer Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 On the Lippert electric jacks there is a spot on both the top and the bottom of the jack motor to put a socket on and then crank the jack up or down (using a drill works best) depending on which way you turn it. It might help to know what brand jack she has or post a picture of the jack.

Friz Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 If I recall correctly, on my 5er, open the port side propane bottle storage compartment. There is a hole on the inside wall level with the jack motor. Insert crank handle here if you have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief916 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Thanks to all of you. He finally found the crank screw and was able to disconnect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
