manual tongue jack maintenance

Is there any maintenance that I need to do on my manual tongue jack? Camper is a 2008 Jayco 28BHS. Does any grease need to be added to the gears and if so, how? Thanks.
  • My Puma has a plate at the top with four screws. I take it off to check the grease on the gears and see if all is okay.
  • I have not looked at my current tongue jack, but my old trailer had a small oil hole near the top. Every couple of years or so I would pump a little bit of oil into it. I had the trailer 10 years and the tongue jack always worked perfectly.

    Other than that it really shouldn't need anything.
