1. Raise the tongue with the trailer jack, position the trailer tongue directly over
the 2” ball, and lower the jack until the tongue goes all the way down over the
ball.
2. Press down on the latch until it locks on the ball with a “click.” If your hitch ball
has an excessive flat spot on top, the latch may not engage properly. If the latch
does not catch, check with your dealer or hitch installer before trailering.
3. Insert the locking pin into the tongue. (Lock pin hole is on the side of the
tongue)
4. When all weight is off the trailer jack, pull the jack lock pin and rotate the jack
to the horizontal position and lock the pin.
5. Attach the safety chains to the tow vehicle hitch. Cross the chains and wrap
them around each other once or possibly twice allowing just enough slack to
permit tight turns of the vehicle and trailer.
6. Connect the trailer light plug to the tow vehicle connection to activate the
lights.
7. Connect the brake safety cable.
CAUTION !
Before use, read all information supplied with the trailer by the manufacturer.
Your trailer requires a Class III hitch equipped with a 2” ball. Position the ball beneath
the trailer’s receiver slightly forward of center. Lower the trailer and make sure the
ball completely slips into position. The standard height from the ground to the top of
the hitch ball should be about 20 inches. With the trailer attached to the tow vehicle,
the trailer should stand approximately level.
