Specific Operation Warnings
⚠WARNING
To prevent serious injury or property damage, read and understand the owner’s manual.
Do not exceed the lowest rated load capacity in hitch system.
Maintain adequate vertical down (tongue) load to have control of the trailer (generally 10%), but do
not exceed the specified rated capacities.
Other steps and inspections are also required. Consult OSHA, D.O.T. regulations, and the
American Trucking Association for complete coupling and uncoupling procedures.
Ensure all bolts are torqued to 95 ft. lb. before use.
Keep safety chains in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the safety
chains attached to vehicle.
Towing
Trailers and equipment designed for on-road towing within the stated capacities. For off-road
applications, reduce the capacities listed above by 25%, and use in conjunction with a swivel-type
drawbar. This slide mount is well suited for use in the utility and construction industries.
Mounting
1. Use a secure mounting structure of sufficient strength to support the rated capacity of the slide
mount in accordance with SAE J 849B.
2. The hitch receiver on the vehicle needs to have a 2” square tubing inside.
3. Insert the mount into the receiver of the vehicle. Next, insert a 5/8” diameter bolt or pin through
the cross hole in the receiver, using a lock nut or locking pin to secure the bolt or hitch pin (not
included), as indicated below.
Before Each Use
1. Inspect for proper operation.
2. Inspect, in particular, the coupling area. Replace when the wear exceeds 1/8” from the original
surface profile.
3. Inspect for worn, damaged, and missing parts. Replace as required.
