WARNING
A trailer having a gooseneck hitch will have one or two-drop leg jacks for raising and lowering
the gooseneck ball receiver. Because we use several drop leg jack mechanisms, the general
instructions that follow, may very slightly from the jack manufacturer’s instructions. If you have
any questions operating your specific jack contact inTech Trailers Parts, Service and Warranty
Department at 574-773-9536.
Before attempting to tow:
•
Be sure the size and rating of the gooseneck ball match the size and rating of the
receiver. Gooseneck balls and receivers are marked with their size and ratings.
•
Wipe the gooseneck ball clean and inspect it visually and feel for flat spots, cracks and
pits.
WARNING
Rock the ball to make sure it is tight to the ball support, and visually check that the gooseneck
ball nut is solid against the lock washer and ball support frame.
WARNING
•
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.
•
Make certain the ground beneath the jack foot is firm enough to support the tongue
weight.
•
Rotate the handle/crank clockwise to raise the bottom surface of the gooseneck to be
above the top of the gooseneck ball.
Improper gooseneck height adjustment can result in overloaded tires, blowout and
loss of control, leading to death or serious injury.
Adjust the gooseneck receiver so that the loaded trailer is level.
A worn, cracked or corroded gooseneck ball can fail while towing, and may result in
death or serious injury.
Before coupling the trailer, inspect the gooseneck ball for wear, corrosion and cracks;
and replace worn or damaged gooseneck ball.
A loose gooseneck ball can result in uncoupling, leading to death or serious injury.
Be sure the gooseneck ball nut is tight before coupling the trailer.
