Using The Trailer Coupler
The heater trailer is equipped with a heavy duty SAE trailer
coupler rated for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of
15,000 pounds (6,804 kg). This coupler complies with SAE
J684 and VESC V-5 standards.
To couple the trailer to the tow vehicle
1. Pull up on the locking trigger (
A
, Figure 10), and lift the
locking lever (
B
, shown lifted).
2. Adjust the coupler to the hitch ball (
F
, Figure 10) by
pushing the channel lock (
D
) up, away from the adjusting
nut (
E
).
3. Tighten the adjusting nut by turning the nut clockwise,
or loosen by turning counter-clockwise. Proper adjust-
ment is obtained when the coupler is as tight as possible
on the ball and the locking lever can still be opened and
closed.
NOTE: Check adjustment frequently and tighten the
adjusting nut as necessary.
