Insert the draw bar (C) into the hitch box and install pull pin (D) and spring clip (E). Draw bar may be used in either
the up or down position (see below).
NOTE:
Ball height should be greater
than coupler height by approximately 3/4 to 1” to compensate for vehicle
"squat”.
For vehicles with air springs, air shocks or an automatic leveling system, check vehicle owners manual. Unless
otherwise specified, level the trailer with the vehicle loaded as it will be when towing before setting ball height and
attaching trailer.

lockwasher (G) and 3/4” nut (H). Rotate ballmount up to approximately the center of the tilt adjustment and install one
adjustment washer (J) on 3/4 x 5 1/2“ bolt (K) and insert bolt in upper slot in the ballmount.
Note:
The adjustment
washer hole is not on center and can be rotated 180
° for maximum head adjustment or half adjustment steps (see
below). Install the second adjustment washer (oriented the same as the first), lock washer, and nut on the other side.
