as they will be while traveling. is includes full propane tanks, fresh water

tanks, and any other cargo (passengers & gear) the tow vehicle or trailer will

carry, including ATVs for toy haulers. Tow vehicle “auto-level” systems should

also be disabled or turned o. If your tow vehicle is equipped with air bags,

we recommend that you inate them to the pressure you are expecting to tow

with before setting up the hitch. Inating them after hitch set up changes the

relationship between tow vehicle and trailer, and can reduce the amount of

weight distribution and sway control you get from your hitch.

Park the trailer and tow vehicle on level ground and in line with each other.

Chock and uncouple the trailer using the Fastway ONEstep (or similar) wheel

chocks. Pull tow vehicle ahead about 5 feet to allow working area and set the

parking brake.

Measure the FRONT and BACK of the trailer frame, and adjust the trailer to

be parallel to the ground. Both FRONT and BACK measurements should be

the same.

WARNING

Never exceed the specied weight ratings for the trailer, tow vehicle, hitch,

hitch ball, or any other towing equipment.

Step 2 - Install the Hitch Ball:

Remove the hitch head from the packaging and install a properly-sized hitch

ball (not included). Ball diameter must match trailer coupler size.

Select a ball with a 1-1/4” diameter threaded shank. If your hitch ball has a

smaller diameter shank you must use an appropriate bushing. Make sure that

the ball has a weight rating equal to or greater than your trailer’s gross vehicle

weight rating (GVWR). Always use a lock washer against the nut, unless

otherwise specied by ball manufacturer. Torque nut to ball manufacturer’s

specications.

Whichever brand of hitch ball is used, make sure that it meets coupler and

shank diameter size requirements and meets or exceeds all weight ratings.

Hitch balls require a 1-7/8” socket and a torque wrench capable of

approximately 450ft-lbs. torque for installation. Your nearest Fastway e2

dealership will have the tools needed and will usually install the hitch ball for a

reasonable fee.
