Turnoverball TM Gooseneck Hitch Installation Instructions
BEFORE INSTALLING
OVERHEAD LIFTING DEVICE
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 discon-
nected before squaring the center section across the frame, installing the sideplates
and torquing fasteners.
