Bal Lock Arm Stabilizers

I just received our lock arm stabilizers today and am confused as how to install them to the front landing legs. The arm that is supposed to attach to the landing legs has a 90 bracket attached by a rivet and it does not move to adjust to different angles. Is that riveted bracket supposed to move, according to the pictures I've seen of other installs it should move. I dont want to force it and break it so just want to make sure .




If any one has some install advice/experience (pics too) would be greatly appreciated- newbie novice here

thanks!

Yes, they are supposed to move .... if you can break it, I sure don't want to kick sand in your face. If you watch you can see how it is attached.(Between 1:14 and 1:30) Once they are mounted they will move easily. By the way, they work very well, I think you will be satisfied, Hank

Yes they move but are very tight out of the box. Take a screw driver and insert through the hole and pivit the bracket back and forth to loosing it up.

I installed these and noticed the same thing. It's because of the installed rivit and only needs to be worked free. Very happy so far with this modification.

I think you will be very please with them ...... just remember to unlock them before trying to raise or lower the landing gear. ... Hank

yeah thats my fear! I need to get a checklist together! This is our first RV so everything is new to us.

My brother in law reminds me to make sure I have the landing legs down before I pull away from the camper. Both he and his cousin dropped their 5er on their truck because they forgot to lower their legs

So those are both things I hope to remember(among others)
