Preparing the Towing Vehicle
1. Before towing the SpeedTender, refer to towing vehicle’s operator’s manual for information concerning hitch capacities, hitch
adjustments, and tire inflation.
2. Towing vehicle must be equipped with proper electric braking components.
NOTE: The SpeedTender is equipped with LED lights. The towing vehicle may require a flasher upgrade for lights to operate
properly.
3. Do not exceed towing vehicle’s GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) or GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating), or the maximum
hitch load.
Preparing SpeedTender
1. Hydraulics: Check routing of all hydraulic hoses. Hoses should not be kinked, twisted or rubbing against sharp edges. Check all
hoses and fittings for hydraulic leaks. Tighten, repair, or replace as required.
2. Lubrication: Lubricate SpeedTender as outlined in “General Service” on page 17. Refer to engine operator’s manual for proper
fluid levels in engine.
3. Tires/Wheels: Check tire pressures and maintain at recommended operating pressure. It is important to check wheel nut/bolts for
proper torque as recommended. Refer to “Tire Service” on page 19 for proper tire pressure and wheel torque specifications.
Connecting SpeedTender to the Towing Vehicle
WARNING: Do not stand between the SpeedTender and tow vehicle when hooking up.
NOTE: The SpeedTender comes standard with a 2-5/16” ball coupler and has an optional 3” lunette eye. Also, the SpeedTender
offers an optional gooseneck frame in place of the A-Frame. The gooseneck frame can feature either a 2-5/16” ball coupler or a
5th wheel hook up.
1. Back tow vehicle up to SpeedTender.
2. Align the vehicle’s ball or lunette eye with the coupler or ring on the SpeedTender.
3. Lift tongue latch lever.
4. Lower jack to set SpeedTender coupler down on ball or lunette eye hook.
5. Latch coupler and insert pin. Check to make sure that coupler is securely latched.
6. A-Frame - Pivot jack to transport position and pin in place.
Gooseneck - Raise the “drop leg” of the jack.
7. Attach 7-way plug to tow vehicle. Check the length of the SpeedTender 7-way plug to make sure it is long enough to turn, but not
too long to touch the ground.
NOTE: Check to make sure that lights are in proper operating condition and repair or replace if necessary.
8. Connect the brake breakaway cable to towing vehicle.
9. Attach safety chains to tow vehicle by crossing chains. Allow enough slack in chains to allow for turning.
10. Test the brakes and all the lights on the SpeedTender.
WARNING: Check safety chains for broken, stretched or damaged link or end fittings. Replace chains if found to be
damaged. Do not weld safety chains.
Transporting
1. Move the jack to the horizontal position before transporting.
2. Ensure the conveyor is in the conveyor rest and strapped down.
3. Ensure the collapsible hopper is in the down position with the vinyl hopper cover applied.
4. When transporting the SpeedTender on public roads, it is recommended to have the
conveyor in the forward-facing position. The rearward-facing position may not comply
with state law for lighting and marking requirements.
WARNING: Travel at a safe speed to maintain complete control of towing vehicle and SpeedTender at all times.
