1. Utilizing the hooks, attach the cables to a solid part of the chassis on the towed vehicle or the
convenience links of the baseplate. Verify the safety snap clicks back against the hook in order to
prevent disconnection.
2. Adjust slack if needed. Cables should not come in contact with the ground, pintle coupler or
the locking handles; damage could occur! DO NOT USE DAMAGED CABLES! Route cables
away from the locking handles. Safety cable contact with a locking handle could cause the leg
to become unlatched and collapse, leading to major damage to one or both vehicles and towing
equipment. DO NOT WRAP SAFETY CABLES AROUND THE LEGS!
3. Verify the load capacity of cables or chains used that meets the needs of the towing set up.

1. Using a 3/4” socket, tighten or loosen the lock nut until firm contact between the ball and ball
clamp.
2. Periodically check the tension between the ball and coupler housing and tighten if needed.
