18. Before hooking up the trailer to the hitch ball, adjust the height of the lift bracket so that the
measured distance from the ground to the bottom of the trunnion is the same (approximately)
from the ground to the top surface of the lift bracket.(Dimension “A” = Dimension “B” ±1 hole)
this is a starting point and you may need to make adjustments later. Using a 12-point 3/4”
socket, tighten the (4) dog point set screws 45-55 ft.-lbs.
GROUND/PAVEMENT
Attaching Trailer to Ball
Make sure the wheels on the trailer are chocked before connecting coupler to ball.
IMPORTANT! Ensure the tow vehicle and trailer is on level ground and in-line with each other.
Set parking brake of tow vehicle and chock the wheels of the trailer before lifting or lowering!
19. Back up the tow vehicle and align the hitch ball so that it is directly under the coupler socket
(use a spotter if you have one. CAUTION! Spotter should never stand between trailer and
tow vehicle during connecting). Then, lower the trailer until the hitch is supporting some of
the trailer tongue weight. The tow vehicle and trailer must be as straight and inline as
possible.
20. Ensure the hitch ball is completely inside the coupler socket and close the coupler ball latch if
it is not yet closed. Install coupler lock or pin for safety.
21. Raise the front of the trailer and rear of the tow vehicle until the tips of the spring bars are
about level/even with the support surface of the loading brackets.
