OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Only use a 1-7/8” ball hitch (not included) on the towing vehicle. (See Figure C.)
Temporarily remove the “R” Pin (L) and Safety
Pin (K). Then, pull up on the Trigger and lift up
on the Handle. (See Figure C.)
NOTE: To reduce friction between the hitch ball
and Coupler (12), apply a layer of heavy weight
grease over the hitch ball. (See Figure C.)

FIGURE C
With assistance, place the Coupler (12) over the vehicle’s hitch ball and pull back on
the Trigger and push down on the Handle until the Trigger locks in the slot. 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.
IMPORTANT - If there is play, tighten the Adjustment Nut until no play is present:
After unlocking the Handle, the Nut retaining plate (holding the adjusting nut in
place) needs to be pressed back while the Nut is tightened. After Nut is tight-
ened, the retaining plate needs to fit in place against the flats of the Nut
to prevent it from moving. This adjustment should be done by 2 people. If
the Adjustment Nut is too tight, the Handle will not lock.
After the Adjustment Nut is properly adjusted, pull back on the Trigger and push
down on the Handle until the Trigger locks in the slot. Pull up on Handle firmly to
make sure the Trigger is locked in place and the Handle cannot move. Replace the
Safety Pin and “R” Pin. (See Figure C.)
Know how to properly control the towing vehicle-Trailer combination on the highway
under all conditions. The loaded weight of the Trailer will increase the braking and
stopping distances appreciably.
When towing the Trailer over long distances stop and check the tightness of all con-
nections and Tail Lights (25L, 25R) at least every 100 miles.
