Mounting
Note the general layout in Figure 1 as you
proceed through the mounting instructions.
Refer to the parts list, page 2.
1. Drill a 9/32-inch hole for an eyebolt in a
convenient structural member on your
towing vehicle chassis near the hitch (not
on the hitch assembly).
Mount the eyebolt, with the eyebolt pointing
toward the breakaway switch, using two
1/4-inch nuts with lockwashers. Tighten
securely. See Figure 2.

Towing Vehicle Eyebolt Mounting
2. Position the breakaway switch on a
horizontal or vertical surface of the trailer
tongue or A-frame. The pin in the switch
must point towards the towing vehicle.
The switch must be positioned far enough
forward so the lanyard will reach the towing
vehicle.
It must also be set back far enough to allow
an eyebolt to be mounted to the tongue in
front of the switch.
3. Drill a 9/32-inch hole through the tongue for
mounting the switch.
Insert the furnished metal sleeve into the
mounting hole in the switch. The sleeve
allows the switch to pivot so the lanyard
stays aligned with the towing vehicle.
Bolt the switch to the tongue using the bolt,
nut, and lockwasher provided.
