FIC Tongue Jack - manual operations

[DaveT]

I'm doing a "preflight" checklist and wanted to experiment with manually raising and lowering the trailer tongue. I know the procedure, but can't seem to find the jack handle. I had always assumed the same one that raises the scissor jacks would also work on the tongue jack but it looks to large to go "in the hole."



Is there a separate jack?

My trailer came with 2 jack handles, the stabilizer jack handle and the tongue jack handle.

Same. My hybrid came with two. One for the stabilizers, and one for the tongue. I think they are different? Don't recall.

My Hummingbird's jack uses a 7/16th socket. I didn't get a jack handle for it.

Thanks - I figured there were two.

This is based on a friends experience. Pull the fuse before you stick anything metal in the jack hole. He shorted it and blew the fuse. Turns out the internal breaker wasn't bolted down and he hit it.

Good tip Jim thanks.
