ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all items from the frame. Locate the hardware bag and sort
all items by size.
SWING TONGUE
The tongue comes shipped incorrectly in the frame. Slide the
tongue out from it’s shipping position and reinstall in the front
tongue channel. Line the holes in the tongue with the holes
in the tongue channel. Secure with a 1/2” X 4” hex bolt and
1/2” lock nut in the tongue channel.
Locate the coupler bag. Place the coupler on the end of the
tongue, align holes and secure with one 1/2” X 4” hex bolts and
hex flange lock nuts in the rear coupler hole. Place two 1/2” X
1” hex bolts into the front holes of the coupler and secure to the
inside of the tongue with 1/2” flange lock nuts. Tighten.
WIRE HARNESS
Locate the wire harness. Push the two triangular plugs in the hole
on the top of the tongue, then out the rear of the tongue. Place
the wire harness through the hole in the tongue cover plate.
(See Detail A) Secure the tongue cover plate in position with a 1/2”
X 1-1/2” hex bolt and 1/2” lock nut. Tighten. Plug the tongue wire
harness ends into the frame harnesses by matching colors and ends.
Push the extra wire into the rear of the tongue or remove the grom-
mets in the side frame and place the extra wire in the side frame.
Replace grommets just removed.
SAFETY CHAINS
Mount the safety chains to the front of the tongue by placing a 3/8”
flat washer onto a 3/8” X 1-1/4” hex bolt, then insert the bolt through
the last link of the safety chain. Add another 3/8” flat washer. Put
the bolt through the hole on one side of the tongue as shown.
Secure on inside of tongue with a 3/8” hex flange nut. Tighten.
Repeat on the other chain on the other side of the tongue.
WINCH POST
Place the winch assembly on the tongue and secure with three
3/8” X 4” hex bolts and hex flange lock nuts. Place the 3/8”
flange lock nuts on the bolts but do not tighten because they
will have to be readjusted once the boat is on the trailer.
Remove the winch handle nut from the shaft. Align the hole in the
winch handle with the flat surfaces on the shaft. Slide in position and
secure with the nut just removed. Tighten.
JACk
It is recommended that the jack be mounted on the right side of the
tongue. This will place it on the opposite side of the winch handle
to eliminate the possibility of the two interfering when being oper-
ated.
Remove the hardware bag from the jack and sort all items by size.
Note that the jack mounting plate has only one pair of holes on one
side of the plate while the other side has holes punched to accom-
modate either 3”, 4”, or 5” tongue.
Place a 3/8” x 4” hex bolt into the single hole of the mounting plate
so the head of the bolt is on the jack side of the plate.
Once inserted, place one of the mounting channels onto the bolt so
the legs of the mounting channel are pointing away from the jack.
Place on a 3/8” lock washer and hex nut. Thread on only far enough
to secure in place.
Repeat the above process on the other single hole of the mounting
plate.
Place the jack on the tongue so that the two bolts just installed are on
the top side of the tongue with the jack on the right side of the tongue
and the mounting channels on the other side of the tongue.
Visually check which of the bottom three holes in the plate will align
just under the bottom side of the tongue. Insert the remaining two
3/8” x 4” hex bolts into these holes and then through the mating
holes in the mounting channel. Secure with 3/8” lock washers and
hex nuts.
Rotate the jack into the up position. Slide the jack forward or back-
ward on the tongue to make sure it will not hit the frame of the trailer
when in the up position.
Tighten all of the mounting bolts to secure the jack assembly to the
tongue.
Always rotate the jack in the up position before towing the trailer.
