ATTACHING TRAILER TO VEHICLE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Only use a 2” ball hitch (not included) on the
towing vehicle.
(See Figure M.)
2.
WARNING! The Trailer load should never
exceed 1800 pounds or exceed the
Trailer’s Bed size.
3. Make sure to have a qualified technician to grease the Hub Assembly
(parts #12, #75, #79) prior to using the Trailer.
4. NOTE: To reduce friction between the Hitch Ball and Coupler (part #1), apply a
layer of heavy weight grease over the Hitch Ball. (See Figure M.)
5. With assistance, place the Coupler (part #1) over the vehicle’s Hitch Ball. Pull up
on the Coupler’s Handle while turning the Handle counterclockwise to allow the
Coupler to drop fully onto the Hitch Ball. Turn the Handle clockwise to lock the
Coupler in place. Pull up and down on the Coupler to make sure the Hitch Ball is
fitting snugly in the Coupler. There should be no play between the Hitch Ball and
Coupler. If there is play, tighten the Adjustment Nut until no play is present. If the
Adjustment Nut is too tight, the Handle will not lock.
6. Make sure to attach each side of the Safety Chain (part #11) equally to the towing
vehicle’s rear bumper or frame.
