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 sec-
tion 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. Main-
taining 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 disconnected
before squaring the center section across the frame, installing the sideplates and torquing fasteners.
NOTE: We recommend reading instructions before beginning the installation.
WARNING: The tow vehicle’s towing capacities should under NO circumstances be exceeded.
