Lower landing gear and block the trailer wheels.
Raise the trailer until the tongue weight is removed
from the truck. Then, unpin the Coupler handle and
rotate to the open position to unlatch the jaws. If the
jaws do not open, readjusting the landing gear may
relieve pressure and allow them to open. Use the
safety pin to lock the handle in the open position and
when you are sure that the landing gear will support
the trailer, move the truck forward to release the
jaws from the kingpin. The jaws will always open
when the pressure of the trailer is taken off the
coupler as the truck pulls away.
UNINSTALL HITCH
To uninstall the Companion hitch, remove the
Saddle lock pins, grab the saddle handles and lift to
remove the coupler from the pivot arms. To remove
the Companion base, remove the latch pins from
each base leg and turn the handles. Carefully lift
and position the base out of the attachment points.
Lubricate top surface of coupler with automotive type
chassis grease or use a nylon lube plate to provide a
lubricated surface.
Allow adequate clearance between the bed side and
the underside of the front of the trailer for pitch and
roll of the trailer.
The height of the king pin box and pivot arms should
be adjusted so that the trailer is approximately level
for towing.
Grease the saddle through the grease zerk
approximately every six months with multi−purpose
grease. this allows the coupler to pivot freely, see
figure G1.
Grease jaws with automotive type chassis grease.
HELPFUL TIPS:
NOTICE: All bolted connections should be checked
for the correct torque specification regularly. Always
perform a visual inspection before towing.
