Place the 2-5/16” ball (7) in the hitch receiver. Engage the latch pin handle by rotating the handle counter

clockwise. Be certain the latch pin passes through the holes in the 2-5/16” ball and fully engages through the

hitch receiver. Remove and grease the square base of the 2-5/16” ball.

STEP 6: SAFETY CHAIN BRACKET INSTALLATION

Install the safety chain U-bolts. The center section may have multiple safety chain holes. Only 4 holes (2 on

each side of the ball) will need to be drilled. Each U-bolt will need to rest in the low part of a bed rib. To deter-

mine which holes will need to be drilled, carefully examine the safety chain holes in the center section to deter-

mine which holes are under a low rib, See figure 6.1. Use a 1/2" Drill bit and drill through the bed in the 4 low

rib locations, See Figure 6.2. Drop a U-bolt through each pair of holes from the top side of the truck bed floor.

Place a conical spring and lock nut on each of the four legs. Tighten the lock nuts until flush with the bottom of

the U-Bolts, See Figure 6.3.
