Need help?Do you have a question about the Reese SWAY CONTROL and is the answer not in the manual?
Sway control cannot be used on trailers equipped with surge brakes.
Place heavy items forward of the axle, balance load side-to-side, aim for 10-15% tongue weight.
The handle is the on/off device; the bolt below it is solely for adjustment.
Turn handle counterclockwise to remove tension in slippery conditions to ensure proper turning.
Do not increase speed during sway. Check loading, adjustment, and equipment to correct the cause.
Never paint or lubricate the slide bar of the sway control unit.
Mount sway control ball to hitch using nut and lock washer, torque to 100 lb-ft. Weld mounting bar if needed.
Measure and mark a point 24 inches from the center of the hitch ball on the trailer tongue.
Align ball/plate assembly, punch holes, drill using appropriate bit, and secure with self-tapping screws.
Lubricate balls, place socket over trailer ball, secure with clips, loosen handle, extend, and secure to trailer ball.
Retighten handle to its original position. Factory preset tension is suitable for most light trailers.
Check for potential damage during sharp turns; remove sway control if bumper contact or bottoming out is possible.
Perform road tests and adjust tension in 1/4 turn increments via bolt (7) to achieve desired control.
After 1000 miles, remove slide bar and clean friction surfaces with a wire brush. Repeat every 10,000 miles.
Release tension by turning the on/off handle counterclockwise.
Remove both clips securing the sway control assembly.
