FIGuRE I
Only use a 2” ball hitch (not included) on the towing vehicle.

nOTE: To reduce friction between the hitch ball and Hitch Coupler (A9), apply a
layer of heavy weight grease over the hitch ball.

up on the Handle.

With assistance, place the Hitch Coupler (A9) over the vehicle’s hitch ball and push
down on the Handle until the Trigger locks in the slot. Pull up and down on the
Coupler to make sure the hitch ball is fitting snugly in the Coupler. There should be
no play between the hitch ball and Coupler. If there is play, tighten the Adjustment
Nut until no play is present. If the Adjustment Nut is too tight, the Handle will not
lock.

come loose while the Trailer is in motion, possibly causing property damage,
