Fyi, in the past I did speak to both the dealer and the maker of the jacks (Rieco-Titan) and neither mentioned anything about just using two at a time. In fact, they both said it should be possible to use them all at once (since the remote has an 'all' button). If using just two at once is indeed a limitation, it's a poorly-documented one. I will also post the response from the dealer (about the correct breaker amperage) when I have it.
