Once you are in position for unhitching, make sure you follow the next steps carefully:
- Engage the handbrake on the van/trailer to prevent movement
- If you have wheel chocks available, apply them to either the front or rear of the tyres to assist with preventing
movement
- Disconnect the power connection (7 pin rectangular) between the vehicle and the van/trailer
- Positing the jockey from the travelling position to the vertical position and adjust the sleeve to suit the level of
the terrain
- Commence winding the jockey until it is firmly on the ground but not under load
- Assess if the jockey is at risk of moving and either chock the jockey wheel or swivel the wheel to counteract any
movement
- Undo the safety chain d-shackles from the car and hook onto the chassis hooks provided
- Disconnect the Anderson plug between the towing vehicle and the trailer
- You are now ready to safely unhitch

The unhitching process is the reverse of the hitching process:
- Remove the small pin from the locking pin attached to the base of the McHitch
- Slide the locking bolt out of the base of the McHitch
- Using the lock bolt inserted into one of the holes on the side of the top of the McHitch, apply pressure in a
counter clockwise position whilst pulling the safety release switch below the top of the McHitch as the image
below shows:
The images above show how to release the safety switch and unwind the hitch cap with the locking pin at the same
time.
