FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the hardware bag from the frame, remove
parts and sort by size.
TONGUE
The tongue is shipped separate of the frame. Locate
the appropriate tongue and install by sliding it in the
front of the tongue channel.
Line the holes in the tongue with the holes in the
tongue channel. Install the 1/2” x 4” hex bolt in the front
cross hole and secure with a 1/2” lock nut.
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 provided in
the tongue cover plate.
Secure the tongue cover plate in position with the same
1/2” x 1-1/2” hex bolt that secures the back on the
tongue to the tongue channel of the frame. Secure with
a 1/2” lock nut. Tighten both bolts just installed.
Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame
harnesses by matching colors and ends. Push the
extra wire provided either into the rear of the tongue
or else remove the grommets in the side frames
and place the extra wire in the side frame. Replace
grommets just removed.
SAFETY CHAINS
Locate the 1/2” x 1-1/4” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through a
1/2” flat washer, then place through the last link of one
of the safety chains. Place a second flat washer on the
bolt and insert through the hole as shown in Diagram
B. Secure with a 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat
this process on the second safety chain on the opposite
side of the tongue.
Assembly is complete.
