TOWING & SETUP
COUPLING
For operating instructions and troubleshooting, view the manufacturer’s manual.
Your Oliver Travel Trailer is equipped with a Class III Bulldog Steel Coupler rated for the
GVWR of your trailer.
The standard bulldog coupler requires a 2” ball on your tow vehicle. You may have
upgraded the bulldog hitch to the 2-5/16” model and will require a 2-5/16” ball.
⚠
CAUTION
BE CAREFUL TO AVOID GETTING FINGERS OR SKIN
PINCHED WHEN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE
COUPLER.
SAFETY CHAINS
After you have the travel trailer coupler properly attached to the hitch ball, the safety
chains must be attached. To do so:
1. Cross the safety chains under the tongue and hitch.
2. 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.
NOTICE
IF D-LINKS ARE NEEDED TO CONNECT THE SAFETY
CHAINS TO THE TOW VEHICLE, EACH D-LINK MUST BE
RATED AT 7,000 LBS FOR ELITE II MODEL TRAILERS.
⚠
WARNING
IMPROPER RIGGING OF THE SAFETY CHAINS 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 CHAIN 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!
INSPECTING & TESTING THE BREAKAWAY SWITCH
You should inspect the breakaway switch periodically to ensure proper function of the
product/system. Essentially you should inspect the wires, cables, and switch box for wear
or damage and do a pull test to ensure the pin still comes out and is not broken and the
trailer brakes engage when the pin is pulled. If there is any damage or malfunction then
replace the damaged components.
