Safety Chain:
Mount the safety chains to the front of the tongue using 1/2” X 1-1/2” 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. Secure with 1/2”
stainless steel hex lock nuts with nylon inserts on the inside of the drop
tongue tube.
Tongue:
Slip the tongue into the front frame cap of the frame. Line up the holes,
fasten the tongue in the frame with two (2) 1/2” X 3-9/16” X 5” square
u-bolts, 1/2” belveled aluminum washers, 1/2” stainless steel washers and
1/2” hex lock nuts with nylon inserts at the front of the tongue plates; fasten
the tongue in the rear with a 1/2” X 4-1/2” hex bolt and 1/2” flat washer
under the nut and bolt.
Brake Line
Place one end of the 58” tongue brake line
(Located in box No. 68140) 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 its approximate
location on the tongue. Remove the plastic
plug in the rear of the actuator and thread
the brake line into the port. Tighten. Align the
actuator to be mounted to the tongue. 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.
Actuator:
Mount the actuator (Ref#10) on the drop
the tongue using three (3) 1/2” X 4-1/2” hex
bolts (Ref#3) and 1/2” stainless steel hex
lock nuts with nylon inserts.
Form the remaining end of the brake line
so it will mate up with the brake line run-
ning down the side frame. Secure the two
lines together with the brass coupling pro-
vided in Hardware box 68140. Tighten to
prevent leaks but do not over tighten.
Tongue Assembly
White Ground Wire Installation
Pull the white wire out the hole in the tongue with either the brown
and yellow or brown and green plug. Place the self-tapping screw
provided through the round metal ring on the white ground wire of
the tongue harness just pulled out. 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.
