ground wire out the hole. They will be attached later once the tongue
is installed in the frame.
Locate the bolt on tongue stand Item No. 10 in Detail A. Look at the
bottom side of the tongue and locate the slotted key slot hole in the
tongue. Note that one end of the tongue stand has a dart or arrow
shaped end. With the tongue stand positioned 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tongue, insert the dart or arrow end of the tongue
stand into the key slotted hole. Once it is inserted, turn the tongue
stand 90 degrees so that it now is in line with the centerline of the
tongue. Attach the front end of the tongue stand to the tongue using
a 1/2” x1” hex bolt and flange lock nut. Tighten.
Safety Chains
Locate the safety chains. Place a 3/8” flat washer on a 3/8” x 1-1/4”
hex bolt. Insert the bolt through the last link in the safety chain and
then into the lower hole provided in the front of the tongue. Secure
with a 3/8” flange lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other chain.
Coupler
Place the coupler on the top of the tongue. Align the holes in the
coupler with the holes in the tongue. Place a 1/2” x 4” hex bolt through
the back holes of the coupler and the tongue. Secure with a 1/2”
flange lock nut but do not tighten at this point.
Place a 1/2” x 1” hex bolt through the front hole on one side of the
coupler and the tongue so that the head of the bolt is to the outside.
Place a 1/2” flange lock nut on the bolt inside the tongue. Repeat this
process on the other side of the tongue. Once the bolts are installed,
tighten all nuts left loose at this time.
Insert the tongue assembly through the front channel of the frame
far enough so the rear of the tongue is inserted into the rear cross
member. Align the cross hole in the front channel and the tongue
and insert a 3/8” x 4” hex bolt. Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut.
Place a second 3/8” x 4” hex bolt down through the hole in the rear
of the tongue and the rear cross member. Place on a 3/8” flange
lock nut. Tighten.
Connect the tongue wire harness into the side frame harness of
the trailer by matching plugs. Attach the white ground wire of the
tongue harness to the frame using a No. 10 x 3/4” self-tapping screw
provided so that a good ground connection is made between the
frame of the trailer and the tow vehicle. Push all extra wires used to
make the connection back inside either the side frames of the trailer
or else into the tongue. Place a second rubber grommet into the
hole where the wires exit the tongue to protect them from damage
during normal use.
Jack
t is recommended that the jack be mounted on the right side of the
tongue. This will place it on the opposite side of the winch handle
to eliminate the possibility of the two interfering when being oper-
ated.
