Hitching a Travel Trailer
1. Raise trailer tongue (electric tongue jack) until the hitch coupler is high
enough to clear the ball hitch.
2. Back the tow vehicle up to the trailer until the hitch ball is directly under
the coupler on the trailer.
3. Set the parking brakes, open the locking collar on the coupler and lower it
down on the ball.
4. Move the locking collar forward to lock in on the ball.
5. Insert a locking pin through the coupler lever and the bracket holes.
(To open, remove locking pin and firmly lift up and pull back on handle of
retaining sleeve, the coupler will automatically disengage from ball and
remain locked in open position.)
Safety Cables
After you have the travel trailer coupler properly attached to the hitch ball,
the safety cables must be attached. To do so:
6. Cross the safety cables under the tongue and hitch.
7. Attach the hooks to the attachment loops provided on the tow bar portion
of the hitch or to the vehicle frame, do not fasten to any part of the hitch
unless the hitch has holes or loops specifically for that purpose.
▲ IMPROPER RIGGING OF THE SAFETY CABLES CAN RESULT
IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRAILER AND TOW VEHICLE,
LEADING TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO REPAIR A DAMAGED CABLE. IF THE SAFETY CABLE HAS
BEEN DAMAGED IT MUST BE REPLACED.
Breakaway Switch
This switch is designed to engage the trailer’s brakes if the trailer were to
become disconnected from the tow vehicle. Always be sure to connect
the breakaway cable to the tow vehicle when hooking up!
