Insert the socket pin through the hole in the socket and spring arm, and
secure it with the socket pin clip. You may need to use the spring arm as a
lever to spread the sockets open. This is to allow the spring arms to be lifted
and placed onto the L-bracket.
Back tow vehicle to trailer and lower coupler onto ball. Lock the cou-
pler. Continue to retract the tongue jack until it raises off the ground about
1”. Measure the tow vehicle height again exactly above the rear axle, to
the same point you measured to earlier when uncoupled. Record this on
line B of the Weight Distribution Adjustments table in Step 6 on page 17.
With the tow vehicle still coupled to the trailer, use the tongue jack to
lift both vehicles until you can swing the spring arms into place over the L-
brackets. See Figure 9.
If you reach the top of the jack before the spring arms will swing into
position, you can use the Snap-up Lever to lift the spring arms up and onto
the L-brackets. Use the L-pins and clips to secure the spring arms on the L-
brackets. See Figure 10-11.
With the spring arms resting on the L-bracket and the trailer and tow ve-
hicle in line with each other, check to make sure that there is a minimum of
3” from the end of the spring arms to the center of the link plates. See Figure
12, page 19. Move and re-tighten the link plates if necessary.
