It is recommended to lubricate the polyurethane bushings with high grade lithium grease and
place the coupler head assembly on them. Be sure that the coupler head assembly latches
completely when placed on the pivot bushings. The coupler head latching handles should be
horizontal when the coupler head is in the latched postion. Insert the safety chain pins and
lock into place.
note:
When making the wiring connection to your trailer, be sure that a ground wire from
your vehicle to the trailer is used. The pivot head plate of the hitch rides on neoprene
bushings and a proper ground cannot be obtained through the hitch connection.
sTEp 8:
Pull the latch handle to the open position. Back the truck up to the trailer, centering the pin
in the hitch, until the hitch pin has engaged the jaws. Make sure the latch pin handle has
completely closed and insert the safety pin through the handle and base plate. Hook up the
lighting and brake connections.
note:
Grease between the jaws and cam with lithium grease once a year.
