In some cases, the shank may need to be turned upward, or a specialty
length shank may be needed so that the ball can be placed at the correct
height. See Figure 3.
Insert a 3/4” shank bolt with a at
washer through the top slot in the bolt
channel and shank hole to hold the head
at the correct height. Slide the at washer,
split (lock) washer, then nut onto the
other side of the bolt, and hand tighten
them. Then repeat this process for the bot-
tom shank bolt. See Figure 4.
Use a wrench to tighten the angle set bolt until it comes into contact with
the shank and lifts the head to where the spacer rivet also comes into solid
contact with the shank. Tighten the angle set bolt an additional 1/2 turn. The
hitch head should be angled down slightly. See Figure 5.
NOTE: The shank bolts will be fully tightened at the end of the set up and
adjustment process.
