Use:
Hook up the trailer to the tow vehicle. Lubricate the threads on the handle with a drop of oil and apply grease to the
inside of the sockets at each end of the sway unit. Attach the socket on the slide bar to the sway control ball on the ball
mount. Secure in place, using a spring clip. Turn the On/Off handle 3 turns (or enough so the slide bar moves freely)
counterclockwise to release tension. Place the socket on the main body onto the trailer tongue ball. Secure in place, using a
spring clip.
Turning the On/Off handle clockwise, until the threads bottom out and handle is parallel with the main body (you can
turn the handle counter clockwise some if needed.) With a second person watching the sway control & trailer, slowly back
the trailer in both directions to a jackknife position and check that the sway control does not hit the bumper or trailer frame
and that it does not become fully compressed
or come apart. If any of these items occur when jackknifed, the sway
control must be removed while backing.
Road & weather conditions, loading & design of the trailer as well as power
steering, wheel alignment and the oscillation point of the tow vehicle & trailer all affect towing characteristics.
Starting with the factory preset tension, road test the sway control. If this is not enough sway control, then adjust
the brake tension screw 1/4 turn clockwise. Road test again and repeat (if necessary) until proper sway control is
achieved. Larger or heavier trailers or broad sided trailers may require the use of two sway controls. After a 1,000-mile
break in period, remove the slide bar and clean it using a wire brush or steel wool. IMPORTANT! Do not lubricate or use
any cleaning solution on the friction pads or slide bar, dry cloth only. The slide bar should then be cleaned every 10,000
miles. Check all other mounting bolts and attachment points for the sway control, hitch and related components every
500 miles, or per the manufacturer’s instructions. Whichever is more frequent.
