ASSEMBLE SYSTEM

1. Insert shank into receiver and install pin and clip. See Figure 4.

2. Select hitch ball to match trailer coupler socket, having 1" or 1 1/4" threaded shank and capacity

equal to or exceeding the gross trailer weight. When using a ball with a 1" shank, bushing (13) must be

used. Attach the ball to the head assembly (1) using a lockwasher and nut.

3. Assemble head to shank as shown in Figure 4. Use washers (21) over pin (20) initially.

4. Align head assembly bolt holes to the nearest holes on shank that corresponds to a ball height

approximately 1.5 - 2" higher than trailer coupler height "H" when trailer is level. Leave

fasteners loose until hookup has been adjusted.

5. Tighten ball nut according to manufacturer's specs. Always use a lockwasher.

6. Assemble chains to spring bars as shown in Figure 4. Allow 2 - 3 threads to protrude below locknut

Chain must not bind.

7. Lower trailer coupler onto hitch ball and close coupler latch.

8. Apply a heavy oil or wheel bearing type grease to the upper and lower trunnion pin of each spring bar

assembly.
