Coupling To The Tow Vehicle
Bri-Mar 60
Figure 4-4 - Trailer With Ring and Pintle Coupler
We have utilized a ring that is suitable for the size and weight of the
trailer. The load rating of the ring and the necessary pintle size are listed
on the trailer tongue. You must provide a pintle for your tow vehicle,
where the load rating of the hitch and pintle is equal to or greater than
that of your trailer. Also, the pintle size must be the same as the ring
size. If the pintle is too small, too large, is underrated, is loose or is
worn, the trailer can come loose from the tow vehicle, and may cause
death or serious injury.
THE TOW VEHICLE, HITCH AND PINTLE MUST HAVE A
RATED TOWING CAPACITY EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN
THE TRAILER Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE PINTLE BE OF THE SAME SIZE
AS THE COUPLER.
The pintle size and load rating (capacity) are marked on the pintle; ring
capacity is marked on the ring.
4.2.3.1 Before Coupling The Trailer To The Tow Vehicle
Be sure the size and rating of hitch pintle match the size and rating of the
ring. Hitch ring and pintles are marked with their size and rating.
