Safety Chain:
Mount the safety chains to the front on the tongue using a 1/2” X 5-1/2” 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. Place the
other safety chain on the bolt on the opposite side of tongue and secure with a
1/2” stainless steel flat washer and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock nut with nylon
insert. Refer to Diagram E.
Tongue:
Slip the tongue under front frame plate and into the channel welded
to the front cross member. Line up the holes, fasten the tongue in
the rear with a 1/2” X 4-1/2” stainless steel hex bolt and 1/2” stain-
less steel flat washer under the head bolt another 1/2” stainless steel
flat washer and a 1/2” stainless stell lock nut. Fasten the tongue to
the frame plate with two (2) 1/2” X 3-9/16” X 5” stainless steel square
u-bolts,1/2” stainless steel washers and 1/2” stainless steel lhex lock nuts
with nylon inserts at the front of the tongue plates
Brake Line
Place one end of the 58” tongue brake line into
the hole in the top of the tongue located just be-
hind 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 approxi-
mate location on the tongue. Remove the plas-
tic 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 (Item #10) on the drop
the tongue using three (3) 1/2” X 4-1/2”
hex bolts (Item #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 running down
the side frame. Secure the two lines together
with the brass coupling provided. 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.
