Model 890CL/890CRCoupling
INSTALLATION
The 890CL/890CRCoupling is only to be used
and maintained with Premier parts listed in the
Replacement Part Information section. Any
substitution or use of non-Premier parts in a
890CL/890CRCoupling will VOID ALL PRODUCT
WARRANTY. This coupling is designed spe-
cifically for C-Dollies and is NOT to be used for
A-Dolly applications.
Installation Procedure
:
1. The 890CL/890CRCoupling must be installed
to comply with the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations. Specifically, Section
393.70, Paragraph C: “Towing of Full
Trailers.” Prior to install or operation, consult
with local, State and Federal agencies, as
there may be additional applicable laws
governing installation and use of this product.
2. Make certain that the cross member the
890CL/890CRCoupling is to be mounted on
is of sufficient strength to withstand the load
rating of the coupling.
3. Using the Standard Installation Drawing,
measure and layout the cross member and
then drill the holes for the mounting bolts.
4. Mount the 890CL/890CRCoupling using either
Premier’s 507 Bolt Kit and provided torque
value, or four other 3/4” grade-8 bolts and
grade-C locknuts. Only use new fasteners
when mounting couplings or drawbar eyes and
torque to SAE specifications.
5. Once mounted, check the latch components
for proper operation and clearances (see the
Inspection/Operation/Maintenance section
for opening and closing the latch). If the
operation of the latch components is sticky,
lubricate all rotation points with a light
penetrating oil. Work the latch assembly
several times to distribute the lubricant evenly
and remove any excess with a rag. Do not
apply lubricant to the pintle/hook or saddle
area of the 890CL/890CRCoupling.
6. An “IMPORTANT WARNINGS!” sticker
was enclosed. This must be attached to the
coupling or cross member and be visible for
the end user to read.
