Troubleshooting Squeaking On Pro Series Round, A-Frame Jack

Question:

Is there a way to grease it? Sometimes when I crank it up when t he trailer is hitched to my van lots of weight there it does a lot of squeaking.. I am pleased with the jack, have had it for several years and it works great, just a bit noisy at times. Thanks

Since I'm not entirely sure where the squeaking is coming from on your # PS1401000303, I would say start by following the maintenance in the manual. Since this is a topwind jack you want to apply a lightweight oil to the screw stem on the top. Adding grease is not a part of the maintenance for topwind models.

If you add oil and that doesn't fix it you could try inserting grease from the bottom of the jack and spread it on the jack screw. If that doesn't fix it or it continues to get worse it is possible internal damage is the cause and the only way to fix it would be replacing the jack.
