IMPORTANT:
All hardware for your trailer is stainless steel. It is
important that you use an anti-seize material on
the bolt threads when assembling to prevent
gaulding.
Tongue
The tongue comes shipped positioned backwards in
the frame. Remove the nut and bolt that holds the
tongue in place and discard. Slide the tongue out
from it’s shipping position and re-install in the front
tongue channel. Line the holes in the tongue with
the holes in the tongue channel. Secure with a 1/2” x
4” stainless steel hex bolt and 1/2” lock nut in the
front cross hole,
Wire Harness
Remove the wire harness from the rear of the tongue.
Place the wire harness and the brake line (If equipped
with brakes) through the hole in the tongue cover
plate. (See Detail D). Secure the tongue cover plate
in position with a 1/2” x 1-1/2” hex bolt and 1/2” lock
nut. Tighten. Plug the tongue wire harness ends into
the frame harnesses by matching colors and ends.
Push the extra wire into the rear of the tongue or
remove the grommet in the side frame and place the
extra wire in the side frame. Replace grommets just
removed.
Brake Line (If Applicable)
Locate the brass brake line coupling. Remove the
plastic cap and thread the brake line coming out the
rear of the tongue into one end of the coupling. Bend
the line in a smooth gradual radius being careful not
to kink the line. Bend so it can be mated to the brake
line from the side frame. Once aligned, thread the
side frame brake line into the other end of the
coupling. Tighten both lines into the coupling.
White Ground Wire Installation
Place the self-tapping screw provided through the
round metal ring on the white ground wire of the
tongue harness located at the rear of the tongue.
Attach the ground wire to the main frame by driving
the screw in the hole provided next to the tongue
channel of the frame. This will assure a positive
ground for the lighting.
Safety Chains
Place 1/2” x 5” hex bolt through a 1/2” flat washer
and the last link of the safety chains. Insert in the
hole (bottom front of the actuator) on the tongue.
Place the second chain on the same bolt that is
extending through the other side of the tongue.
Secure with a 1/2” flat washer and hex lock nut.
