2. Install the spring bars into the ball mount head. Position the spring bar over the cam portion of the cam arm.
3. Install the Hanger Bracket (with the ends of the u-bolts facing inward) and Chain onto the cam by slipping the keyed slot of the
hanger bracket over the button end of the cam arm (figure 9). Rotate Hanger bracket to the vertical position and pull chain
vertical to the chain attachment point on the snap-up bracket (Figure 10).

4. Raise the chains until they meet the hook of the snap-up bracket, using the chain link furthest down the chain that allows you to
close the snap-up bracket by hand (without the supplied lifting tube – this is generally the 2
nd
or 3
rd
link from the free end of the
chain for most installation). Use the same link # for both sides of the trailer. Lift both spring bars with the snap-up brackets
and install the keeper pin in the snap-up bracket. Be sure that the hanger bracket is fully engaged in the slot of the cam arm.
5. Lower the trailer tongue jack.
6. Check that the cam is properly seated properly in the detent of the spring bar (figure 14). If the cam arm assembly dose not
automatically seat in the detent of the spring bar, rap the end of the cam arm with a
mallet or hammer until it seats into the spring bar detent as shown in figure 14.
7. Once the cam arms are properly positioned in the detent of the spring bar. Check the ride height of the tow vehicle per your
Weight Distributing Hitch Kit; specifically the Initial Hookup section of that manual. It may be necessary to adjust the number
of links engaged or the ball mount tilt for proper weight distribution for your tow vehicle and trailer. Re-seating of the
Cam Arm Assemblies in the spring bar detent may be necessary until the Initial Hookup requirements are met.
Run the adjustment nut shown in figure 5 down to meet the yolk. Tighten the locking nut shown in figure 5 until the locking
washer is fully compressed. This process needs to be done for both cam assemblies, i.e. both sides of the trailer frame.
8. The Cam Arm Assemblies are now ready to be permanently mounted to the trailer frame. Follow the proper instruction for
frame plate installation of this manual for your particular frame type.

CAUTION:
WARNING:
When lifting/lowering Snap-Up Bracket, Avoid putting any part of your body in the path of the lifting handle
and under the cam arm and spring bars. Components of this system are loaded with substantial force and
could shift position or drop suddenly causing serious injury or death.
Never Raise or Lower Snap-Up Brackets without raising the trailer tongue jack to remove the load from the
spring bars and cam arms. Failure to do so could cause serious injury.
