INSTALLATION:
Be sure to use the "Lift and Carrier Compatibility Information" to estimate the amount of weight that will be applied
to the rear axle BEFORE INSTALLATION!! Never exceed the weight rating of the rear axle or tire load ratings.
Doing so will cause dangerous driving conditions, and possible damage to the towing vehicle!
The mount plates should be mounted directly to the main C-Channels of the RV chassis for the most support.
Installation of the receiver requires fabrication of mount plates and welding the mount plates to the 3 receiver
weldment. Have a qualified hitch shop install receiver.
Installation of optional SC9000 receiver requires fabrication of mount plates (3/8" to 1/2" thick depending on
application) and welding the mount plates to the 3 receiver hitch.
Installers be aware of the rear exhaust of the RV when designing the mount plates, so the carrier clears the
exhaust when pinned into receiver.
The hitch receiver needs to be welded by a certified welder.
SC9000
1. NOTE 1: If original hitch has motor mounts incorporated into it, don't touch original hitch, the mount plates will have to
go around it.
NOTE 2: The original hitch of the coach needs to be replaced with the SC9000 or a fabricated 3 receiver hitch. With
the two outside receivers having a 43 inch center to center spacing (Fig. A). Once the original hitch is removed,
measure between the two c-channels of the frame of the coach. This measurement is what the distance between the
mounting plates need to be (Fig. A). The hitch receiver needs to be positioned so when the deck is flipped up and
pinned, the deck will not hit the coach bumper or fiberglass body (Fig. B). The recommended height of the receivers
is 18-20 inches from the ground to the center of the receivers. There should be at least 6 holes in each mount plate
for the 3/4-10 x 1 3/4" hex bolts. Once mount plates are welded to the 3 receiver hitch, bolt the hitch receiver assem-
bly to the c-channels of the coach with 3/4-10 x 1 3/4" hex bolts, lockwashers, and hex nuts (included with SC9000).
