Mounting
Note the general layout in Figure 1 as you proceed
through the mounting instructions. Refer to the
parts list, page 2.
1. Drill a 9/32-inch hole for an eyebolt in a
convenient structural member on your towing
vehicle chassis near the hitch (not on the hitch
assembly).
Mount the eyebolt, with the eyebolt pointing
toward the breakaway switch, using two
1/4-inch nuts with lockwashers. Tighten
securely. See Figure 2.

Towing Vehicle Eyebolt Mounting
2. Position the breakaway switch on a horizontal
or vertical surface of the trailer tongue or A-
frame. The pin in the switch must point
towards the towing vehicle.
The switch must be positioned far enough
forward so the lanyard will reach the towing
vehicle.
It must also be set back far enough to allow an
eyebolt to be mounted to the tongue in front of
the switch.
3. Drill a 9/32-inch hole through the tongue for
mounting the switch.
Insert the furnished metal sleeve into the
mounting hole in the switch. The sleeve allows
the switch to pivot so the lanyard stays aligned
with the towing vehicle.
Bolt the switch to the tongue using the bolt,
nut, and lockwasher provided.
