Do not pound directly on the sockets to move them. Pounding may cause
the sockets to crack or break. Use only the lever force of the spring arm
to move tight sockets. Loosen the socket bolt if required. Re-tighten them
once the socket has been moved.
Step 5 - Tension Spring Arms:
Never tow with loose socket bolts. Tighten socket bolts to a minimum of
45 ft. lbs. torque before each towing session.
Insert spring arms into the sockets in the hitch head. Arms for the 6K,
10K, and 12K models are not side specic and can be installed on either side
of the hitch. Arms for the 14K hitch are notched off center slightly. The arm
should be inserted into the socket with the notch on the inside, and with the
label facing out.
