Choose a ball mount that allows the Tow-Behind System
to travel level to the ground with an average payload. A
recommended option is two DRAW-TITE adjustable 2 in.
(5 cm) ball mounts. The ball mount must have a 2 in. x 2
in. (5 cm x 5 cm) insert with at least a 1 in. diameter ball
mount hole. The ball mount hole and shank diameter

Receivers
Two Graco clamp-on receivers must be mounted 36 in.

Ultra Frame Hitch. See
Hitch Receiver Kit
for mounting
instructions, pages 11 and 12.
Paint Drum Bracket
It is recommended that the paint drums be secured with a
paint drum bracket. Graco does not provide a paint drum
bracket with the Tow-Behind System.
Programmable Skipline
Controller
The Programmable Skipline Controller must be installed
in the cab of the tow vehicle. Select a position for ease of
operation. This controller connects to the RoadPak with
an I/O cable, so there must be cable access from the tow
vehicle cab to the RoadPak. See manual 3A1215.
Paint drums are heavy and could shift from side to side
when the tow vehicle is cornering. The paint drums
could fall from the vehicle and cause serious injury.
Secure the drums when the vehicle is moving.
