7. Lower jack. Re-measure front wheel well reference point. The front wheel well height should be equal to or lower than the original
measurement. If the front wheel well height is higher than originally measured, reduce the number of links between the yoke hook and spring bar
(5 links min.) and recheck the wheel well measurement. If the front wheel well is lower than originally measured, increase the number of chain
links between the yoke hook and spring bar and recheck the wheel well measurement. If the original wheel well height is not achievable, it is
preferred that the wheel well height is lower after the spring bars are loaded. If there are no more chain links for adjustment, the head assembly
must be tilted forward. The trailer must be uncoupled and the upper bolt removed from the head assembly. The head is then pivoted up as
appropriate. The number of washers ⑦ will need to be adjusted as shown in step 6. Reassemble and recheck the wheel well height.
LUBRICATION
1.
MAINTENANCE: Use heavy lubrication such as fiber type wheel bearing grease on hitch ball and on spring bars. Recommended every day.
Keep hitch painted to prevent rust and check tightness of bolts regularly. Clean out old grease, do not let it harden inside of the Ball Mount.
SURGE BRAKES
1. Some surge brakes will not work with weight distributing hitches. CHECK TRAILER AND/OR SURGE BRAKE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANY SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS REGARDING WEIGHT DISTRIBUTING HITCHES.
Do not use sway control with surge brakes.
BEFORE HOOKING UP
Spring bars should hang down on a 10º to 13º
angle when ball mount has been tilted back at 6º
to 8º angle.
AFTER HOOKING UP
Spring bar should be parallel with trailer frame, or a slight
angle up or down.
WRONG
Readjust degree of tilt on ball mount, if you have
more than 5 links of chain hanging free. The number
of links should be the same on both bars.

6. Raise trailer tongue and rear of vehicle with the tongue jack. Approximately 8 to 12 inches. Lower yoke of snap up bracket until it is parallel
with the ground, and slip the closest link over the hook (If there are less than 5 links between hook and u-bolt adjust ballmount angle rearward,
and repeat procedure - see Fig. 5 thru 8 below). With the snap up bracket handle over the yoke, raise until yoke has passed “over-center”.
Slide the spring clip ⑧ through the small hole to lock the yoke in place. Repeat for other side.
