Axis A20 User Manual

When using a second person to
assist in the backing up process to
hitch the trailer to the tow vehicle,
always watch in your mirror. Do
not allow the person to stand between the tow vehicle and the trailer
as they can be struck by the vehicle or caught between the tow vehi-
cle and the trailer. Such activity requires common sense and care to
avoid injury.
Never move the trailer toward the
tow vehicle. When the trailer is not
fully hitched up, the brakes are not
operational.

the hole. If it does not, this means that the latch is not com-
pletelyclosed.Itwillnotcloseunlessthecouplertssnugly
over a properly sized ball. If the hitch pin is damaged or lost,
it must be replaced prior to operating the rig.
The hitch pin must be properly
installed and secure prior to oper-
ation. If it is damaged or missing,
you can operate temporarily with a
one-quarter inch (1/4”) or ve-six-
teenths inch (5/16”) shank padlock. Never operate without the hitch
pin or padlock as the trailer and contents can become disengaged
from the tow vehicle, which may result in serious injury or death.

easily, the ball is not fully within the socket. DO NOT FORCE the handle to close as
it is likely that the ball is the wrong size and should be replaced.
