Attaching to Tow Vehicle
25. Close the Latch Assembly on the Tow Hitch Assembly to lock the Tow
Hitch Assembly onto the Tow Ball (Figure 42). Attach the towing Safety
Chains to the tow vehicle ensuring there is enough slack for turning.

ball.

closed position (Figure 43).
28. For extra safety and security, you may want to purchase a lock to install into
the hole of the latch assembly.

Hitch Coupler Adjustment Check
30. Place a 2" ball in the socket of the coupler and close the latch assembly
(Figure 44). Verify that the locking trigger is properly engaged in its detent.
31. Pull on the ball and/or coupler, trying to remove the ball from the socket. If
the ball moves more than 1/16" in the coupler’s socket, the clamp requires
adjustment. Follow the proper adjustment procedure in the following steps.
Hitch Coupler Adjustment
32. With the proper size ball in the socket of the hitch coupler, close the latch of
the coupler completely (Figure 45). Verify that the locking trigger is properly
engaged in its detent.
33. Tighten the lock nut on the underside of the coupler until the spring
between the nut and the clamp is fully compressed. Then back off the lock
nut 1/2 turn or just enough that the latch is able to clamp and unclamp
from the ball.

Making sure the Splitter is securely attached to the vehicle is the responsibility of the owner/operator. Failure to securely attach
the Splitter can cause loss of control of the vehicle or the Splitter being separated from the towing vehicle, resulting in serious
injury or death. ALWAYS use accessory lights and devices when transporting on a road or highway to warn operators of other
vehicles. Check your local government regulations.
