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”
beveled aluminum washers, 1/2” stainless steel washers and 1/2” hex lock nut
with nylon inserts at the front of the tongue plates; fasten the tongue in the rear
at the front cross member location with a 1/2” X 4-1/2” hex bolt and 1/2” flat
washers under the nut and bolt. Refer to Detail E and F. Connect the tongue
brakline 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 5-1/2” 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. Place the other safety
chain on the bolt on the opposite side of tongue and secure with a 1/2” stain-
less steel flat washer and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock nut with nylon
insert. Refer to Diagram E.
Wiring:
Plug in the tongue wire harness to the side
frame wire harnesses located on the first
crossmember. The white ground wire must
be grounded to the trailer frame with a 3/4”
self grounding tap screw.
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.
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 (Ref#10) on the drop the
tongue using two (2) 1/2” X 4-1/2” hex bolts
(Ref#3) and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock
nuts with nylon inserts (Ref#7).
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 fit-
ting to strip.
