Scissor Jacks/Stablizer question...

[BriaBeck]

Here's the question:


Once your stabilizer touches the ground, how much more do you put into it before you call it "good"? In other words, how tight, is tight enough?

For me maybe one more turn.

i use my drill to run them down then i add about one more turn. i check them again the next day, usually they loosen up a bit overnight.

I found a torque setting on my Cordless Drill that seems to be just the right amount of pressure. Works out to be a turn or two max.

OK thanks guys. That's pretty much what I've been doing as well tighten it up until it feels about right… Usually about 1 to 2 turns, depending on how far the stabilizer is extended out.
