Expert Reply:
Yes, you can still raise and lower Lippert Components Power Stabilizer Trailer Jack Item # LC298707 even if the switch goes bad or electrical power is lost for any reason. In order to operate the jack manually there are a few steps:
First always disconnect the battery from the system prior to manually operating the system. Failure to disconnect the battery can cause electricity to backfeed through the motor and cause serious damage to the system as well as void the Limited Warranty.
The Lippert Electric Stabilizer Jack comes with a manual override system located on the end opposite of the electric motor. To manually operate the stabilizer jack:
1. Disconnect one of the wire leads from the motor to prevent backfeeding the motor.
2. Next, insert the 1/2” dia. crank handle over the coupler and pin at the end of the stabilizer jack. The slot in the end of the crank handle accommodates the pin on the coupler to allow the manual extension/retraction of the stabilizer jack.
3. Rotate the crank handle clockwise to extend or counterclockwise to retract the stabilizer jack.
Note: The gears can be stripped out if the stabilizer jack is manually retracted/extended to its fullest extent and the operator continues to rotate manual override.
If you do not have the manual crank handle it is Replacement Manual Crank Handle for Lippert Components 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear # LC119226.

How do you raise the jacks by running a wire to a 12 volt supply? The t rod to manually raise them broke off both axles.
