WARNING:

could result in tow vehicle damage or
truck and trailer separation.
7. Replace unit into pucks with all handles in unlocked position (see Figures 10A and 10B). Rotate handles into locked
position. It is normal for some of the handles to have very little or no resistance; while others have a moderate amount of
resistance when locking. Should a handle not be able to be locked by hand it needs to be adjusted, see Note D.
NOTE D: To adjust handle tension when locking first remove hitch from pucks. Next, while keeping the handle to
tee pin orientation, remove the lynch pin. Rotate the tee pin counterclockwise ½ rotation, and replace lynch pin.
Conversely, if there is too much clearance in the attachments when locked, the clearance can be removed by
rotating the tee pin clockwise ½ rotation, and replacing the lynch pin.
