1. Inspect the hitch each time before connecting a trailer, check to ensure all fasteners are
tight and there are no cracks or excessive wear on the hitch; and also make sure that the
jaw mechanism moves freely. Check that King Pin Indicator in the hitch is working
correctly by pulling the handle out, then while holding the handle forward letting it slide
back into the hitch. The Jaw should not close all the way. If the Jaw closes all the way
with no King Pin in place then the hitch is defective and must be repaired or
replaced. If excessive wear or damage is found, contact your installing dealer
or HUSKY technical support staff at www.huskytow.com or 1-877-544-4449
2. After the first 100 miles, and at least once a year thereafter, inspect all bolts for proper
tightness. Retighten nuts if needed.All fasteners ½” diameter, torque to 75 ft.-lbs.
3. Apply bearing grease to top plate before coupling, or use a lubrication plate min
diameter10”, max thickness 3/16” (See Husky Dealer).
Lubrication.
1. The moving parts of the hitch require regular lubrication. (Every 3 to 6 month). Particular
attention should be paid to the Slide Arm, Cam Track, Jaw Pivot and Indicator
Mechanism. (As shown in the sketch)
Maintenance
2. For best use apply a White Lithium Grease liberally to all moving surfaces including
Pivot Pin holding the Head and Yoke to the Cross Beam. To ensure thorough
lubrication, take the Head and Yoke off the Cross Beam by removing the Pivot Pin
and turn the Head and Yoke upside down beam to gain access to the underneath of
the Hitch. Pull the handle to access the parts easily. It is not recommended that the
Hitch be disassembled any further than removing the Pivot Pin. It should be noted
the bolts holding the Head to the Yoke are tightened to 240 ft.-lbs. of torque.
Reassemble the Hitch taking care to replace the Safety Lock Pin in the Castle Nut of
the Pivot Pin.
3. Alternatively the Hitch mechanism may be liberally sprayed with “Spray White
Lithium Grease” (Obtainable in Auto Part Stores) every couple of months. Note
warnings on Spray Can.
4. Caution: The latch mechanism can close with heavy force. Use extreme care to
keep fingers, hands, extremities & clothing out of the path of the mechanism.
Failure to do so could result in severe injury.
5. Grease the Zerk fitting periodically, located on plate side of pivot pin.
