Tongue:
Fasten the tongue in the rear at the front cross member location with a 1/2”
X 4-1/2” stainless steel hex bolt and 1/2” stainless steel flat washers under
the bolt head and the 1/2” stainless steel lock nut with nylon insert. Move
the tongue up to the lower frame plate of the frame. Line up the holes,
fasten the tongue in the frame with two (2) 1/2” X 3-9/16” X 5” stainless
steel square u-bolts, 1/2” beveled aluminum washers, 1/2” stainless steel
washers and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock nut with nylon inserts at the front
of the tongue plates; Refer to Detail E and F. Connect the tongue brake-
line to the sideframe with a brakeline coupling (Ref.#30 on page 4).
Safety Chain:
Mount the safety chains to the front on the tongue using a 1/2” X 1-1/2” stain-
less steel hex bolt (Ref#4) with a 1/2” stainless steel flat washer at the head of
the bolt, followed by a safety chain through the drop tongue tube and secure
with a 1/2” stainless steel hex locknut with nylon insert. Repeat on other side.
Refer to Diagram E.
Wiring:
Plug in the tongue wire harness to the side frame wire harnesses located on
the first crossmember. Pull the wire out the hole in the tongue with either the
brown and yellow or brown and green plug.
White Ground Wire Installation:
The white ground wire must be grounded to the trailer frame with a 1/4” X
3/4” stainless steel self grounding tap screw.
Attach the ground wire to the main frame by
driving the screw into the bottom flange of
the side frame. This will assure a positive
ground for the lighting.
Brake line:
Place one end of the tongue brake line into
the hole in the top of the tongue located just
behind the front joint of the two side frames.
Insert until the end of the line comes out the
front of the tongue. Place the actuator into
it’s approximate location on the tongue.
Remove the plastic plug in the rear of the
actuator and thread the brake line into
the port.Tighten. Place the actuator in it’s
proper location by aligning the holes in
the mounting channel with the holes in
the tongue.
Actuator:
Mount the actuator (Item #10) to the drop
tongue section using three (3) 1/2” X 4-1/2”
stainless steel hex bolts (Item #3) and 1/2”
stainless steel hex lock nuts with nylon
inserts.
Place a grommet around the brakeline
where it comes out of the top of the tongue
to keep it from vibrating and chaffing as it is
being towed. Form the remaining end of the
brake line so it will mate up with the brake
line running down the side frame. Secure the
two lines together with the brass coupling
provided in Hardware box 66801. Tighten
securely to prevent leaks but do not over
tighten causing the threads in the fitting to
strip.
