A NOTE ABOUT SUSPENSION
FOR SAFETY Secure your trailer using wheel chocks before setting up or adjusting the Andersen
Weight Distribution Hitch.
The operator is responsible for making necessary adjustments to the weight distribution hitch to maximize
performance for each trip and every time the load changes.
REMEMBER Any time you change your load weight in the towing vehicle or trailer, re-check to see how
level you are and make adjustments as needed. Also, before each trip — and regularly during a trip —
check all hardware, bolts and nuts for wear and fatigue. Make sure that they are all properly tightened
and that all pins and clips are secured in place.
It is critical to check the tire pressure of each of the tires on the trailer and tow vehicle before towing.
Refer to your vehicle’s owners manual for maximum towing capacity. DO NOT overload your vehicle —
failure to follow vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations could result in damage to your vehicle, personal
injury or death. Your combined load and trailer weight should be less than the lowest weight rating
of your tires, vehicle, and hitch. You should also refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for your trailer
and follow all safety warnings, setup instructions, and maintenance before installing your hitch.
Make sure the trailer coupler is coupled and secured properly before towing, and that safety chains are in
place.
Do not modify Weight Distribution Hitch components outside of the recommendations found within this
manual. (e.g. shortening/extending chains, welding brackets to the trailer frame, etc.)
IMPORTANT! No hitch setup can guarantee that trailer sway will be avoided altogether. It is the
driver’s responsibility to adjust equipment and driving habits according to towing conditions. The driver is
responsible for their own safety and the safety of passengers and those around them.
Ensure that the suspension of both the tow vehicle and trailer are in good working order before you
embark on a trip. Bad suspension may result in the Weight Distribution Hitch not being able to properly
even out your load. Always load trailer correctly according to the manufacturer’s recommendations for
maximum weight limits and cargo placement. Do not overload trailer or towing vehicle.
We are proud that our Weight Distribution Hitch is rated up to 1,400 lbs tongue weight to meet the SAE
J-684 strength requirements. However, if your trailer tongue weight is pushing 1,400 lbs, we recommend
possibly improving or ‘beefing up’ the suspension of both 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton vehicles.
NOTE:
AS WITH ANY WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION HITCH,
DO NOT USE THE ANDERSEN WD HITCH WITH ANY KIND OF SURGE BRAKE SYSTEM
