Important: Do not use brake fluid drained from the brake system to
refill the master cylinder reservoir as such fluids contain contam-
inants from the system that may result in brake failure or costly
repairs.
Trailer Jack
MasterCraft recommends using the trailer jack to lift the coupling
of a loaded trailer from the hitch ball. Rotate the trailer jack to the
vertical position and engage the locking pin before placing a load on
the trailer jack.
Like any mechanical assembly, the trailer jack requires maintenance
to continue to function properly. The drive gear and the rack-and-
pinion should be greased, and the caster and wheel bearings should
be oiled frequently.
Failure to swing up the trailer jack and snap into towing position
before towing may result in damage to the trailer.
Failure to engage the locking pin may result in the collapse of the
jack stand, which could cause serious injury or death.
Always be certain that the feet of individuals operating the trailer
jack or in the vicinity of the trailer jack are clear when the jack
is lowered into position. A considerable amount of the trailer’s
weight, and that of the boat when it is aboard the trailer, can be
transferred through the trailer jack. This could cause very painful
injuries if feet are not clear of the jack when it is lowered. Also
be certain that fingers and hands are clear when moving the
trailer jack because they can be pinched in the mechanism, again
resulting in injury.
