Power stabilizer jacks

On 2018 Classic with power stabilizer jacks. How do you operate manually when power doesn’t work? No mention in manual.

You should have a long crank handle with a pin in the end. You stick it in the hole in the end panel and feel around until it engages, and then crank. If you don't have the crank, somehow I ended up with extras. Let me know and I'll bring you one to Alumalina.

Thanks. I’ll take a closer look.

I'm getting confused but I think mine was in the closet. I keep getting the picture of my trade in's handle on the wall of the pass through storage. Perhaps look in the trunk.

Hi

Another popular "backup" is to rig an battery / electric drill to fit the hex head "bolt" on the jack. That way you don't crank your arm off

I received the long handle and a short snap in adapter for my 1/4" electric drill. The adapter fits perfectly on the road side stabilizer and I can raise or lower using my electric drill. Check the packet your emergency awning closure pieces came in as that is where mine was.

I have a 1997 classic manual stats to remove fuse before manually cranking. Back ones stopped mid way and can’t remove the fuse. I’m new to this. Any advice I would appreciate.

If the switch that powers them is off, I don’t see why you’d need to remove the fuse.

Ditto. I recently had an issue with mine. Did not remove the fuse and used the manual crank. It is a safety issue, if you are manually cranking, and the jack started running (how that would happen I don't know, unless someone hit the switch), the crank handle would then go spinning around.
