Note: The hitch assembly

from the factory with tongue jack mounted on top rear
of hitch.
28. Remove the 1 1/4 x 8 Gr. 8 hex bolts from front of
trusses. On folding models slide the level bar assembly
under fold cylinders (as this will be attached to the rear of
hitch as shown) as you move hitch assembly towards the
trusses.
29. Attach hitch assembly to front of trusses with 1 1/4 x 8
Gr. 8 hex bolts , 1 1/4 flat washers and 1 1/4 lock nuts.

be tightened securely, but do not torque as the hitch needs
to pivot.

install it on the jack stub at the front of the hitch frame.
31. Now remove the two 1 x 6 Gr. 8 hex bolts from the rear
of the level bar assembly . Install the ear of the level bar

bolts and 1 hex lock nuts.

x 3 5/8 pin clevis , 1.50 x 1.0 machine washer and 3/16 x
2 cotter pin shipped in hitch location.

assembly needs to pivot.
