4. ATTACHNG TRAILER TO MOTORCYCLE
NOTE:
When connecting the trailer to the motorcycle, be sure that the trailer is loaded,
and that tongue weight and wheel alignment has been checked.
CAUTION:
If the trailer is equipped with a tongue stand make sure it is in the upright
stowed position.
LOCKING HITCH PIN: (Smooth body, barrel style key)
Place the hole in captured ball of the heim joint over the hitch pin. Place the key into the
lock, hold the lock and turn the key ¼ turn clockwise to unlock. Place the lock on top of
the pin down against heim joint ball and turn the key ¼ turn counterclockwise to lock.
Remove the key. Lift up on the lock to insure lock is engaged on the pin. Cover keyhole
with supplied rubber cap which is designed to keep the keyway free of debris.
After securing the trailer to the motorcycle, connect the wiring harness, preferably run the
harness over the top of the chassis neck. Secure the safety chain to the safety chain
mount. Check all connections for completeness.
NOTE:
The heim joint must be approximately perpendicular to the hitch pin or the lock
will not seat properly. If the lock does not seat, rotate the heim joint so that it is
perpendicular to the pin.
CAUTION:
Failure to use the supplied rubber cap will result in dirt and debris settling
into the keyhole. This may prevent you from being able to insert the key and remove the
lock.
WARNING:
IF THE TRAILER IS NOT SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE
MOTORCYCLE, IT COULD UNCOUPLE FROM THE MOTORCYCE. THE KEY
CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE LOCK REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT
THE LOCK IS ENGAGED ON THE HITCH PIN.
CAUTION:
When the trailer is not in use, do not leave the lock on the hitch pin.
Remove it and store off of the hitch pin until its next use. Leaving the hitch lock in place
during operation without the trailer attached could lead to premature hitch lock fatigue
and/or failure.
