cle’s maximum towing capacity.

Hitch ball

Choose a hitch ball of the proper size and weight
rating for your trailer:

● The required hitch ball size is stamped on

most trailer couplers. Most hitch balls also
have the size printed on the top of the ball.

● Choose the proper class hitch ball based on

the trailer weight.

● The diameter of the threaded shank of the

hitch ball must be matched to the ball mount
hole diameter. The hitch ball shank should
be no more than 1/16” smaller than the hole
in the ball mount.

● The threaded shank of the hitch ball must be

long enough to be properly secured to the
ball mount. There should be at least 2
threads showing beyond the lock washer
and nut.

Safety chains

Always use suitable safety chains between your
vehicle and the trailer. The safety chains should
be crossed and should be attached to the hitch,
not to the vehicle bumper or axle. The safety
chains can be attached to the bumper if the hitch
ball is mounted to the bumper. Be sure to leave
enough slack in the chains to permit turning
corners.
