Lippert 6-Point Level-Up System Foot Pad Torque Requirement
Question:
Just ordered one from Michelle S. and forgot to ask her if anyone would know the torque that I should use to attach it to a 6-point Level-Up system by Lippert. My rig is new and after a 200 mile trip the foot pad was gone! It bolts directly from the bottom into the leg which is just behind the rear axle on the curbside. Second question is should I consider a lock washer to go with the 1/2 inch bolt? Thanks

For the 6-point Level-Up System by Lippert, I made a call to the manufacturer to ensure you would receive correct information. Lippert said that when you bolt the footpads to the jacks, you need to torque them to 132 ft-lb. They said to make sure to use Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength - Up to 3/4" Nuts/Bolts - 0.20-Fl-Oz Tube, # LT37420 on the footpad bolts and do not try to remove the bolt once it is tightened as removing the bolt could result in damage to the cylinder. It is not recommended to use a lock washer.
If you don't have a torque wrench, I'd recommend the Powerbuilt Dual Drive Torque Wrench - 3/8" and 1/2" - 10 to 150 ft-lb, # ALL944001.
