UNHITCHING
•Block trailer wheels front and rear.
•Raise tongue of trailer with tongue jack as high as possible.

•If spring bar is still loaded on pad hanger, use of the lift handle will be required.
WARNING: To avoid serious injury, always stand to the side of the lift handle. Never stand
at the end of the handle or allow any part of your body under the handle.
•Place pivot pin of lift handle in the pad hanger pocket with spring bar in curved area of lift
handle. Lower lift handle and spring bar should pivot off of the pad hanger.
•Swing spring bars away from pad hanger and remove from head.

•Lower the tongue of the trailer until the jack is off the ground and unlatch the trailer coupler.
Once unlatched, the trailer may be raised again to clear the top of the ball and vehicle can be

LUBRICATION
•Lubricate the ball mount sockets, hitch ball, and spring bar trunnions to prevent unnecessary
wear. Trunnions should be lubricated daily when in use with heavy oil or grease. Lubricate

and dirt should be wiped out whenever the trailer is uncoupled.
