B&W Trailer Hitches 1208R - Manual

BEFORE INSTALLING
OVERHEAD LIFTING DEVICE
WARNING
Most trucks have FUEL LINES and/or BRAKE LINES and/or ELECTRICAL WIRES located along the frame rails where B&W Turnover-
ball™ hitches install. Carefully examine the location of fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wires BEFORE INSTALLATION. Be certain
you will not damage fuel lines, brake lines or electrical wires when positioning hitch components, drilling holes, tightening fasten-
ers, and lifting and lowering the truck bed. 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 crossmember and center section components.
CLEARANCE WARNING
On short bed trucks, BEFORE INSTALLING THIS HITCH, check for adequate turning clearance between the front of all of your trail-
ers and the truck cab.
WARNING
DO NOT invert the ball in the socket when carrying heavy loads on 2 wheel drive trucks. The ball may hit the top of the differ-
ential. Remove the ball from the socket before loading. A plug for the socket is available from B&W.
Model 1208R
Turnoverball TM Gooseneck Hitch Installation Instructions
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 disconnected before squaring the center section across the frame, installing the sideplates
and torquing fasteners.
WARNING
The tow vehicle manufacture’s recommended towing capacities should Under NO Circumstances be exceeded.
