Coupling To The Tow Vehicle
Bri-Mar 81
Notice
Do not use high speed to lift the trailer, the drop leg jack mechanism can be
damaged.
High speed is used only to rapidly move the drop leg base into contact with the
ground.
• Continue to extend the jack(s), making sure that the ground is
providing stable and level support for the trailer.
• After the jack(s) are extended and the gooseneck ball receiver is well
clear of the gooseneck ball, to permit driving the tow vehicle away,
disengage the handle from its shaft and return to its holder.
4.3 ADJUST HITCH HEIGHT
The height of the hitch on the trailer must be adjusted so that the trailer,
when loaded to rated capacity, is level while connected to the tow
vehicle. A level trailer allows equal weight distribution on the axles.
Your dealer or a trailer service center can perform this adjustment or you
can use the following steps to adjust the hitch height yourself.
^ WARNING
Improper hitch height adjustment can result in overloaded tires, blowout
and loss of control, leading to death or serious injury.
Adjust the hitch height so that the loaded trailer is level.
• Connect trailer to tow vehicle and load the trailer to rated capacity
(see Loading and Unloading The Trailer).
• Park the tow vehicle and trailer on a firm level surface.
• Stand away from the trailer and visually verify if the trailer is level
front-to-rear. If the front of the trailer is higher than the rear, the
hitch must be raised. If the front of the trailer is lower than the rear,
the hitch must be lowered.
