How does the built-in tongue weight scale work?

Can I still use the jack if my battery is dead?
Yes. The PJX3500 includes a manual hand crank that allows you to operate the jack even if your trailer battery is depleted, ensuring you’re never stranded due to power loss.
Is this jack compatible with all trailers?
The PJX3500 is designed for center-mounted A-frame trailer couplers and includes a circular mounting plate. It is compatible with most RV, boat, cargo, and utility trailers that use a standard A-frame design.
