Coupling To The Tow Vehicle
Bri-Mar
71
We have utilized a gooseneck ball receiver that is suitable for the size
and weight of the trailer. The load rating of the coupler and the
necessary ball size are listed on the gooseneck.
You must provide a gooseneck ball and support structure that is marked
with a rating that meets or exceeds the GVWR of your trailer
and
matches the size of the gooseneck ball receiver. If the gooseneck ball is
too small, is underrated, is loose or is worn, the trailer can come loose
from the tow vehicle, and may lead to death or serious injury.
THE TOW VEHICLE, SUPPORT STRUCTURE AND
GOOSENECK BALL MUST HAVE A RATED TOWING
CAPACITY EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE TRAILER
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE GOOSENECK BALL BE OF THE
SAME SIZE AS THE GOOSENECK BALL RECEIVER
.
The ball size and load rating (capacity) are marked on the ball; hitch
capacity is marked on the hitch.
Coupler-to-hitch mismatch can result in uncoupling, leading to death or
serious injury.
Be sure the LOAD RATING of the hitch ball is equal or greater than the
load rating of the coupler.
Be sure the SIZE of the hitch ball matches the size of the coupler.
A gooseneck trailer will have one or two drop leg jacks for raising and
lowering the receiver. See figure 4-9. Because several drop leg jack
mechanisms are available, the general instructions below may vary
slightly from the jack manufacturer’s instructions. If the trailer jack on
your trailer does not resemble the jack shown in the figures, follow the
jack instructions provided by the jack manufacturer. If you do not have
these instructions, call Bri-Mar Manufacturing LLC at 1-717-263-6116
for more information.
