Clevis Hitch
Refer to Figure 7
The base hitch must be upright (with the recessed notch
on the bottom) for this configuration. This places the
tongue weight on the base hitch, and not the clevis.
1. Select one each:
890-798C HITCH CLEVIS
802-487C HHCS 3/4-10X6 GR8
803-367C NUT HEX TOP LOCK 3/4-10 PLT
2. With the square-shouldered end of the clevis up,
fully seat the clevis in the upright base hitch . Insert
the Grade 8 bolt from below. Secure with lock
nut .
Hitch Failure Hazard:
Install the hitch base and assemble the clevis parts as shown.
Incorrect installation or assembly may result in failure of the
clevis bolt, leading to hitch failure. This could result in a serious
highway accident or severe machine damage.
Category III Hitch
The base hitch must be inverted (with the recessed notch
on the top) for this configuration. Set the V-block
to
allow some vertical articulation of the draw bar pin. Always
use at least one cushion

PPI-302V TOP PLATE - CAT 3
PPI-203VR V-BLOCK
802-383C HHCS 3/4-10X3 GR5
and two:
PPI-205H CUSHION
2. Set the cushions inside the hitch recess, just for-
ward of the vertical bolt hole. Position the V-block
forward of the cushions and check the size of the
resulting pinning hole. Remove a cushion if needed.
3. Add the top plate . Secure from below with Grade 5
bolt .

pletly. If the transport locks
