5. Locate the End Tubes (G). Install them on each end of
the Side Tubes (F) by threading the 1 3/4" x 1/4" Bolts (J),
with 3/4" x 1/4" Washers (L) and 1/4" x 20 Split Ring Lock
Washers (Q) into the pin nuts in each Side Tube (F).
Loosely tighten the bolts until all four (4) are in position,
then final tighten.

7. Orient the Shank (A) with the two 5/8" holes toward
the receiver hitch on the vehicle. Insert the spring nut
from the Hex head Silent Hitch Pin™ Assembly (R) into
the Shank and line it up with the second hole from the
end of the Shank (A).

Note: Use the bolt hole in the Shank that places the
GearCage™ SP as close to your vehicle as possible. If
more clearance is needed use the last hole in the Shank.

Install GearCage™ SP On Hitch with
Silent Hitch Pin™

Install GearCage™ SP on your hitch using our Silent Hitch
Pin™. The Silent Hitch Pin technology is the final step in
the installation of the GearCage™ SP Cargo Rack on the
vehicle’s hitch. The Silent Hitch Pin prevents the inherent
free-play that occurs when placing an accessory device (in
this case GearCage™ SP) into the receiver hitch.

8. Slide the Shank with the spring nut installed into the
vehicle hitch and line up the Shank’s bolt holes with
the hole in the hitch.
Make sure the washer is on the Hex head Silent Hitch
Pin™ (R) and thread it into the threaded spring nut.
Use a wrench to securely tighten the Hex head Silent
Hitch Pin™ (R) to 30 ft. lbs – 60 ft. lbs. of torque
(equivalent to tightening a lug nut on a car wheel).
Install the pin clip from the assembly.

WARNING!

The Silent Hitch Pins™ must be firmly tightened to work
properly. Make sure you use the Hex head Silent Hitch
Pin™ (R) to attach the Shank to the receiver hitch and
use a wrench to securely tighten it.
