BEFORE INSTALLING

OVERHEAD LIFTING DEVICE

WARNING

Most trucks have FUEL LINES and/or BRAKE LINES and/or ELECTRICAL WIRES located along the frame rails where

B&W Turnoverball™ hitches install. Carefully examine the location of fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wires

BEFORE INSTALLATION. Be certain you will not damage fuel lines, brake lines or electrical wires when positioning

hitch components, drilling holes, tightening fasteners, and lifting and lowering the truck bed. The fuel tank vent,

located on top of the gas tank, can be easily damaged during the installation of the hitch components. Care must
be taken when positioning the front crossmember and center section components.

Warning

On Short bed trucks, BEFORE INSTALLING THIS HITCH, check for adequate turning clearance between the front of

all of your trailers and the truck cab.

Warning

DO NOT invert the ball in the socket when carrying heavy loads on 2 wheel drive trucks. The ball may hit the top of

the differential. Remove the ball from the socket before loading. A plug for the socket is available from B & W.

An overhead-lifting device, such as chain falls, engine hoist, or cable come-a-long, can be used to lift the center

section of the hitch in place. Lower a loop of rope or chain through the 4” hole in the truck bed floor and attach

it to the latch pin in the round hitch receiver tube in the center section. Use the lifting device to raise the center

section until the round hitch receiver tube that protrudes from the center section fits in the 4” hole in the truck bed

floor. Maintaining upward pressure may facilitate fastening the crossmember to the center section, especially if the

truck bed floor has been distorted downward from heavy use. If you use an overhead-lifting device, it should be

disconnected before squaring the center section across the frame, installing the sideplates and torquing fasteners.
