LS-60TD — TOWING INFORMATION
1. Position actuator ball socket above 2" ball.
2. Hold the release lever in the open position (Figure 38).
3. Lower the trailer tongue until the ball rests in the ball
socket.
4. Close the release lever.
The ball capacity must be greater than or equal to the
trailer GVWR. Do not use a worn hitch ball, it is unsafe
and must be replaced. USE 2" BALL ONLY
TOWING INFORMATION
Take care not to damage the actuator when
backing up the towing vehicle for hook-up.
The release lever will close freely with finger pressure
when the ball is properly inserted into ball socket. If
the release lever does not close freely, do not tow the
pump. DO NOT force the release handle into the closed

CAUTION - TRAILER RELEASE LEVER
Check the location of the breakaway cable
periodically during each trip. The indicator
should rest against the rear stop. Accidental
application will cause the brakes to drag and
heat up, causing a failure.
5. To make sure that the coupler is securely latched onto
the ball, extend the trailer tongue jack to the ground and
lift the truck and trailer combination 2" to 4". If the ball
does not disengage, the coupler is securely attached.
6. Insert a padlock or bolt through the lock hole for added
protection.
7. Connect the break-away cable solidly to the bumper or
frame of the tow vehicle as near to the center as possible.
The cable must hang clear of the trailer tongue and be
long enough to permit short radius turns without pulling
the breakaway cable forward.
