BEFORE EACH TRIP:
1. CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT: Check that condition of all of your towing equipment and keep it in top condition.
2. Check that the torque of all fasteners are in accordance to this manual.
3. Re-Check spring bar detent and cam alignment, and periodically while towing for the best performance.
4. Check for any excessive wear to any of the components of this system.
MAINTENANCE:
1. DO NOT – use grease on the cams or cam arms.
2. If noise of the system is offensive, a very light coating of lubricant such as Vaseline may be used on the portion of the
cam where the spring bar rides on the cam.
Tongue weights in excess of 1,200 lbs. may require the use of such a lubricant to prevent excessive wear.
3. Keep all painted parts painted to prevent rust and maintain a good appearance. (Do Not paint over labels)

CAM ARM ADJUSTMENT
1. Be sure that the truck and trailer are adjusted properly per the instructions for your Weight Distribution Hitch, pull forward far
enough to be sure the truck and trailer are in a straight line. (Picking a point at a distance away from the vehicle (about 100
yards) drive forward toward that point keeping the steering perfectly straight until the truck and trailer are perfectly in a straight
line.)
2. Go to each cam arm and check to see that the cam is perfectly centered in the detent of the spring bar. Make adjustments to
the cam arm length as required, it is important to have the cam arm/spring bar detent exactly as shown in figure 14.
3. Before adjustments to the cam arm length can be made, raise the trailer tongue jack and lower the snap-up brackets. Loosen the
Locking nut (figure 5) and move the adjustment nut (figure 5) until the cam is centered into the detent of the spring bar (figure
14). After making adjustments, lift both snap-up brackets and install retainer clips; lower the trailer tongue jack. Repeat step 2
of this section
3. Adjust the position of the snap-up brackets as needed, the chain should be perfectly vertical while in use to avoid damage to the
snap up bracket itself.
* From time to time, with changing towing/loading conditions, it may be necessary to use a different chain link to properly level
the tow vehicle (See your Weight Distribution Kit Installation Instructions). Anytime a different link is used, the cam arm
must be readjusted.
