Step 10 - Regular Maintenance

The contact points of the head and spring bars, as well as the hitch ball, should be 

kept clean and well lubricated with a good quality bearing grease. See Figure 27. 

They should be cleaned and lubricated before each trip. Check for damage or 

abnormal wear at the beginning of each tow and replace parts if necessary. Use a rag 

to clean dirt and road grit from all contact points 

regularly.
All nuts and bolts should be checked before each 

tow and tightened or replaced if necessary.
Pay special attention to the angle set bolt. There 

is a break-in period unique to each hitch and 

towing configuration. With use, the spacer 

washers and rivet may compact slightly, leaving 

a small gap between the angle set bolt and the 

shank. The bolt should be checked frequently 

After you have made proper adjustments to the 

hitch to give your setup good weight distribution 

and trailer pitch, tighten all of the nuts and bolts 

completely. 
Unhitch the trailer and pull the tow vehicle 

forward a few feet to give yourself working room. 

Remove the spring bars from the hitch head. 

Remove the hitch head from the receiver, turn the assembly upside down, and place 

it back into the receiver tube. Replace the hitch pin to secure it temporarily.
Use the torque wrench to tighten both 3/4” shank bolts to 250 ft-lb.
Snug the angle set bolt to the shank again if needed. Tighten it 1/4 to 1/2 turn after 

it comes into contact with the shank. It should be tight enough to wedge the head 

against the shank, but do not overtighten the angle set bolt.
Torque the link plate mounting bolts to 65 ft-lb. Torque the L-bracket mounting 

nuts to 75 ft-lb.
Return the hitch head assembly to the upright position, and pin it into the receiver. 

Replace the spring bars. Couple the trailer again to the tow vehicle, and engage the 

hitch, securing the spring bars with the L-pins and clips.
You are now ready to take the trailer out for a tow. Remember to connect the 

breakaway cable, safety chains, and electrical cables. Make sure your trailer brake 

control is correctly adjusted. Retract the jack completely. Tow carefully at first and 

pay attention to how it feels. Follow the 

Troubleshooting Guide in Appendix A

 

which suggests ways that can help improve your towing experience if needed.
