ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Inspect all hitch hardware to verify that it is securely fastened. Inspect set screws and bolts for tightness and general
condition. When storing your SuperLite hitch, you should be sure that the coupler and hitch parts are lubricated with WD-
40, or dry lube like our own Slip Plate brand spray (#33040301). Use wet lube for wear areas such as the contact area
prevent accumulation of dirt, grime, and rust.
The King Pin Adapter Ball and Remote Latch System must be
lubricated before each trip or as needed. PullRite recommends
using a dry graphite spray to prevent the attraction of dust and
debris. A light wet lubricant such as WD-40 can also be used,
but the two types of lubricants should not be used together.
Be sure the Coupler Tube is free of any obstructions prior to
lubrication and before each use. Spray both the Tube and
Funnel areas to aid in hitching up.
When lubricating the Remote Latch System using a dry graphite
spray, place the latch system in both closed and open positions
the Release Handle repeatedly between the open and closed
positions, so the lubricant is evenly spread among the moving
parts.
Be sure the King Pin Adapter Ball is clean and free from rust. A
light coating of lubricant should be used before each trip or as
needed.
The Bed Saver Rails connect to the bottom of the hitch and are coated with bed liner type material to protect your truck
bed against scratches, paint wear, and galvanic corrosion when in contact with aluminum truck beds. These Bed Saver
Rails are engineered to distribute the weight of the load more evenly, also to keep the hitch from laterally rotating out of its
intended position.
Because these Bed Saver Rails absorb the vibration movement of the hitch, use a spray like WD-40 for the areas on top
where the Hitch Base makes contact. An alternative to lube would be to use our Plastic Slide Kit. See accessories on
page 13 for details.
