A loose gooseneck ball can result in uncoupling, leading to death or
serious injury.
Make sure the gooseneck ball nut is tight before coupling the trailer.

Wipe the inside and outside of the receiver clean and inspect it
visually for cracks; and feel the inside of the receiver for worn spots
and pits. If any of these conditions exist, have the receiver replaced
before coupling the trailer.
•
Lubricate the inside of the gooseneck ball receiver with automotive
bearing grease.
•
Be sure the receiver is tight to the trailer. All receiver fasteners must
be visibly solid against the trailer frame.
•
Release the jack handle or crank from its holder.
•
Rotate the handle/crank clockwise to raise the bottom surface of the
gooseneck to be above the top of the gooseneck ball.

receiver.

Slowly back up the tow vehicle so that the ball is aligned under the
gooseneck ball receiver.
