Step 8 - Trailer Angle Adjustment:
After achieving a good weight distribution setup you may need to adjust the
attitude (angle) of the trailer. Step back and look at the trailer to see if the front
appears to be tipped up or down excessively.
Measure the FRONT and REAR of the trailer again at the same points
you did when setting the trailer parallel to the ground in Step 1. Record these
measurements on the Trailer Attitude Adjustment chart below.
Find the dierence between the highest and lowest heights.

Highest Measurement 20
Lowest Measurement - - 18
Difference between highest and lowest 2
If the dierence between the highest and lowest measurement is 1-1/4” or
more, you should try adjusting the hitch ball height. If it is less than 1-1/4”
dierent, complete Step 9 and tow a short distance with this setup to see how it
handles before making any adjustments.
If the higher measurement is the front of the trailer, move the hitch head
down 1 hole position on the shank. If the lower measurement is the front of the
trailer, move the hitch head up 1 hole position on the shank.
Adjustments made to ball height directly aect how weight is distributed.
Moving it up on the shank slightly reduces the amount of weight distribution
you get from a particular setup. Moving it down slightly increases the weight
distribution.
After making an adjustment to the ball height, return to Step 6 and check
the weight distribution measurements again. Re-adjust the weight distribution
if necessary until it falls within the instruction guidelines. Re-check the trailer
angle again to see what dierence has been made. You may need to try several
setups before you get one that shows good weight distribution and trailer angle.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not tow your trailer until all bolts and nuts have been checked and
properly tightened, and all pins and clips are securely in place.
Step 9 - Final Tightening:
When you feel that the number of spacer washers and L-bracket position are
giving you good weight distribution, and that the trailer is sitting at a good
