BEFORE INSTALLING
OVERHEAD LIFTING DEVICE
An overhead-lifting device, such as chain falls, engine hoist, or cable come-a-long, can be used to lift the center
section of the hitch in place. Lower a loop of rope or chain through the 4” hole in the truck bed floor and attach it to
the latch pin in the round hitch receiver tube in the center section. Use the lifting device to raise the center section
until the round hitch receiver tube that protrudes from the center section fits in the 4” hole in the truck bed floor.
Maintaining upward pressure may facilitate fastening the crossmember to the center section, especially if the truck
bed floor has been distorted downward from heavy use. If you use an overhead-lifting device, it should be discon-
nected before squaring the center section across the frame, installing the sideplates and torquing fasteners.
WARNING
Most trucks have FUEL LINES and/or BRAKE LINES and/or ELECTRICAL WIRES located along the frame rails where
B&W Turnoverball™ hitches install. Carefully examine the location of fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wires BE-
FORE INSTALLATION. Be certain you will not damage fuel lines, brake lines or electrical wires when positioning hitch
components, drilling holes and tightening fasteners. The fuel tank vent, located on top of the gas tank, can be easily
damaged during the installation of the hitch components. Care must be taken when positioning the front crossmem-
ber and center section components.
NOTE: We recommend reading instructions before beginning the installation.
WARNING: The tow vehicle’s towing capacities should under NO circumstances be exceeded.
