SPECIFIC OPERATION WARNINGS
1. Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the tow vehicle.
2. Before each use, always examine the trailer (not supplied) for: Proper tire air pressure,
damaged tail lights, damaged side running lights, loose bolts and nuts, structural cracks, bends,
and any other condition that may affect safe operation. Do not use a trailer when minor damage
appears.
3. Never allow adults, children, or pets to ride in the trailer.
4. Before each use, always attach the safety chains (not supplied) of the trailer to the towing
vehicle. Make sure the safety chain is attached to the towing vehicle with the same length for each
side. Do not allow the safety chain to drag on the ground.
5. Verify that the payload being transported is properly and safely secured in the trailer.
Load the trailer evenly from side to side with 60% of the load forward of the Axle.
6. The towing vehicle must be capable of towing the trailer and its payload. Verify that the
towing vehicle hitch (not included) is capable of towing the weight of the trailer and its payload. The
towing capacity of the hitch is typically stamped on the Hitch drawbar.
7. Make sure the Ball Coupler and the vehicle’s ball hitch (not included) are of equal mating
size (see Specifications on page 2), and are rated equal to, or greater than, the weight of the trailer
and its payload.
8. Do not exceed 45 miles per hour when towing a trailer. Excess speed is a major cause of
vehicle-trailer accidents.
9. Whenever possible, park the trailer on a flat, level, paved, surface and chock both tires to
keep the trailer from accidently moving.
10. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built
into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the Ball Coupler on the trailer Tongue (not supplied). See illustrations below and on next
page. The Tongue width (usually marked on the Hitch) must exactly match with width of the Ball
Coupler (see Specifications on page 2); otherwise, do not use.
2. Match up the holes in the side of the Ball Coupler with the holes in the trailer Tongue. See
illustration on this page. If no holes are present, use the Ball Coupler as a template, mark the
Tongue through the holes and drill. Be certain that the Ball Coupler is well seated on the hitch
before marking for drilling.
Note: Before drilling, check for hidden wires in the drilling path. If you are not familiar with drilling
and mounting the Ball Coupler, have a qualified service technician do it.
3. Acquire two SAE Grade 5 or Metric Grade 8.8 steel bolts the same diameter as the holes in the
