Description

AM hydraulic trailer jack, dual leg, 24" stroke

Complete dual leg hydraulic lifting system for a gooseneck or fifth wheel trailer. The AM series is the 4" x 4" square tube in tube jack, and this system lifts 24,000 lbs across the two legs. Push button lifting replaces cranking a manual jack, which on a loaded horse or motorsports trailer is the difference between a two minute hook up and a fight.

Manual override: hand pump

If the system loses power, the jack is worked by hand with a pump handle, no drill or power tool needed. To extend, install the handle in the hand pump and pump it; expect 10 to 20 strokes before enough pressure builds and the jack starts to move. To retract, locate the red knurled knob on the directional valve, pull it out and turn it a quarter turn so it stays out, then pump the handle. Return the directional valve to its normal position afterwards, rotating the knob until it snaps back, or the jack can drift down from the stowed position. The replacement handle is part 1776.

Standard and optional equipment

  • Keyed switch and harness standard, which also prevents unauthorized use of the system
  • Universal mounting brackets included
  • Switchgear built in house, performance verification tested, braided nylon exterior

Battery requirement

EQ Systems recommends a minimum group 24 RV or marine battery rated at least 100 minutes reserve capacity and 500 cold cranking amps; the higher those numbers the better. Flooded lead acid, gel and AGM types are all suitable. Some lithium batteries cannot deliver the running amperage this system needs, so check with the battery manufacturer before fitting one. If the trailer sits between trips, Stay Charge parts 8400 and 8427 charge the trailer battery from the tow vehicle, and solar kit 70486 keeps the jack battery topped up.

Fluid and maintenance

An AM dual leg system runs on Dexron III ATF, filled to about one inch below the top of the reservoir with the jacks fully retracted. Remember the level rises as the jacks retract. The reservoir must run with its vented breather cap fitted, not the flush shipping plug, or the jack will operate erratically. EQ Systems recommends owners inspect the system every 12 months, checking that all connections are tight and free from corrosion, particularly the ground to the pump stud and the positive cable to the motor solenoid.

Service parts

The replacement hydraulic cylinder for this jack is part 1179EQ. Cylinders are identified by the jack outer tube size and length, not by the bracket. The switchgear for a dual system is 6704.
