9. Operating Instructions
Before operating, check for worn, damaged, 
or missing parts, and make sure mount 
is secure.
If the pintle hook is not 
secured to the mounting 
surface, the pintle hook 
could separate from the 
vehicle which, if not 
avoided, could result in 
death or serious injury.
1. Unlock and remove the tethered lock
pin, if applicable (Figure 16).
2. Lift the lock handle away from the
vehicle until the lock clears the lock 
seat on the hook body. Open the latch 
by rotating the latch assembly up 
toward the vehicle until the latch is in 
its most upright position, then release 
the lock handle. (Figure 17 and 18).
3. Position the drawbar eye over the horn of
the pintle hook and lower it into place.
4. Push the latch closed. When correctly
locked, the lock handle will rotate and 
move up until it is flush with the top of 
the latch (Figure 19).
5. Insert the tethered lock pin through the
latch and lock holes, and close the tethered 
wire lock pin, if applicable (Figure 16).
Failure to correctly lock 
the latch can result in 
separation of the trailer 
and vehicle which, if not 
avoided, could result in 
death or serious injury.
