UNHITCHING
•Block trailer wheels front and rear.
•Raise tongue of trailer with tongue jack as high as possible, usually 8-12 inches.
•Remove spring clip (H), fig. 9, from spring bar retention bracket (I). Remove bracket.
•Push the spring bar off the L-bracket.
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 or spring bar.
•Remove clip (H) and pin (G), fig. 1. Pull the spring bar out of head (A).
•Repeat for the other side.
•Lower the tongue of the trailer until the jack is slightly 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 driven away.
LUBRICATION
•Lubricate the hitch ball to prevent unnecessary wear. Lubricate the contact area in the ball mount where the
spring bars insert. Excess oil and dirt should be wiped out whenever the trailer is uncoupled.
•Do not lubricate the friction pads (O).
