Installation
1. Remove the tongue jack from the coupler. Position the PowerTower™ (Fig. 1G) on the coupler. Place
the tongue jack on the PowerTower (Fig. 1G) and secure both to the coupler using three nuts, bolts
and washers each (Fig. 3H, 3I and 3J).
Note: If there is no tongue jack, attach the PowerTower (Fig. 1G) to the coupler on the front of the trailer
using three nuts, bolts and washers each (Fig. 1H, 1I and 1J).
Note: There are two PowerTower options available. The standard option has an inside clearance of
22 -1/2”. The mini jack, to accommodate manual tongue jacks, has an 18-1/2” inside clearance.
2. Attach the Stinger™ (Fig. 1F) to the PowerTower (Fig. 1G) using the NoMotion™ pin and washers (Fig.
1A, 1C and 1D). For safety, insert the cotter pin (Fig. 1B) through the hole at the end of the NoMotion
pin (Fig. 1A) after tightening securely.
Note: The Stinger™ (Fig. 2A) is an optional style that is included in the OEM kit and can be utilized as shown.
Note: The NoMotion pins are lockable with a customer-supplied padlock having a 1/4” or smaller hasp.
3. Attach the base (Fig. 1E) to Stinger (Fig. 1F) using the NoMotion pin and washers (Fig. 1A, 1C and 1D).
For safety, insert the cotter pin (Fig. 1B) through the hole at the end of the NoMotion pin (Fig. 1C) after
tightening securely.
The trailer MUST be supported per manufacturer's recommendations before working underneath.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious personal injury or severe product or property damage.

PowerTowers. The 29-3/16” and 25-3/16” measurements from the coupler to the wing base will determine
LP tank clearance.
