REMOV-A-BALL ® GOOSENECK BALL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
After installation, with a finger in the Z-slot raise the handle pulling it rearward and sliding it toward the side of the
truck. This will allow the hitch ball to be installed into the tube. Orient the through hole in the ball so it lines up with
the sliding pin. Move the handle toward the ball and then push it forward in the Z-slot to lock the handle into a closed
position.
Cover the slot with the magnetic cover provided. This cover will keep road mud and debris out of the bed and away
from your cargo.
AFTER SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND BEFORE TOWING:
Connect trailer to the tow vehicle following coupler manufacturer’s operating instructions.
The coupler must be adjusted to provide about 6” of clearance between the bottom of the trailer nose and the top of the
pickup bed sides.
