To disconnect the STERLING:
a. IMPORTANT! Set your towed vehicle's
emergency brake and put your vehicle in
Park when un-hooking. Otherwise the towed
vehicle will roll-away when tow bar and
safety cables are removed.
b. Disconnect your safety cables and wiring.
c. Lift the release handles to unlock the arms.
This will normally relieve tension on the
Base Pin.
d. Remove the Base Pins and store the
STERLING on the motorhome by reversing
the hook-up procedure.
DISCONNECT INSTRUCTIONS
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY DIFFICULTY IN RELEASING THE LOCKING MECHANISM
ON YOUR STERLING, TRY THE FOLLOWING:
Turn the steering wheel in the towed vehicle so the front tires are parallel to the motorhome as
shown in Figure A and Figure B. Note that it is not necessary for the car to be parallel with the
motorhome, only the car’s front tires. This procedure should alleviate the tension on the
locking mechanism allowing it to release more easily. If you are still having difficulty, then have
someone get in the car (with the car running) and turn the steering wheel all the way left then right
while you lift on the release handle. The locking mechanism should disengage.
CAUTION: Do not use any type of leverage tool to assist with lifting of the Sterling Release Handle.
Doing so will damage the locking mechanism, and is not covered by warranty.
