Check All Trailer to Towing Vehicle Connections for Security and Operation
NOTE: Surge brakes usually require a small amount of fore and aft movement for their actuating
mechanism to function. Tighten the two ¾” bolts to 380 ft. lbs. torque once the head angle is set. Those
surge brake actuators not designed for use with a weight distributing hitch may bind and not operate freely.
Check your surge brake operating instructions for any specific requirements regarding their use with weight
distributing hitches.
Warnings
Loaded ball height should never be greater than what these instructions allow! Front wheel overload and
loss of rear wheel traction can result and can lead to unstable handling. It can reduce braking ability and
create a tendency to “jackknife” when turning and braking at the same time.
Loss of steering may result in a “high nose” trailer setup. If this occurs refer to page 10 “CHECK VEHICLE
HEIGHT AND ADJUST SPRING BARS IF NECESSARY” and make the necessary equipment adjustment
or tow vehicle and/or trailer load adjustments.
Short wheelbase vehicles may induce sway when towing a trailer. USE EXTREME CAUTION
Caution:
FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES:
Do not attempt to hook-up or tow with the rear tires of the towing vehicle removed. Severe structural damage to the
towing vehicle, hitch and trailer may result. A towing vehicle/trailer combination cannot be controlled adequately unless
the towing vehicle’s rear wheels are carrying their share of the load.
CAUTION!
Using the Bolt Together Weight Distribution System without the spring bars removes all weight distribution functionality
of the product.
