WARNING:

1. Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious injury.
2. Various dangers may occur if the hand lever grease gun is modified, handled during installation, commissioning, and daily operation.

5. Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
6. The loaded ball height should never be greater than the uncoupled height. Front wheel overload and loss of rear wheel traction can lead to unstable handling. It can reduce braking ability and create a tendency to jackknife when turning and braking at the same time.
7. If the loaded trailer ball height is greater than the uncoupled height, reduce take-up on the spring bar, remeasure, and adjust until the proper height is obtained.
8. This product is not a toy, and the dump truck mesh tarp cannot be used as a toy for children to play with.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

Step 1:

NOTE: To obtain proper ball height on high ground clearance

vehicles, shank may be inverted as shown below. If shank is used in the inverted position, check for adequate ground clearance.

UP POSITION

DOWN POSITION

Step 2:

Torque ball to 360ft-lbs. Secure the ball to the head assembly (#1) using lock washer (#8) and nut (#9).

Step 3:

Position head assembly on shank. Slide head up or down to the bolt hole alignment position which corresponds with the target ball height determined earlier. Mark the position on the shank.

Step 4:

Install the head on the shank at marked position. Insert the 3/4"-10 hex bolt (#10) through the 3/4" conical washer (#11) and then through lower hole in the head channel. Rotate the head forward as far as it will go. The ball should be vertical or tilted slightly back. If it is not, adjust screws (#5). Install the remaining 3/4"-10 x 5" hex bolt (#10) with 3/4" conical washer (#11) through the upper slotted hole. Install a second 3/4" conical washer (#11) on both bolts. Start 3/4"-10 (#12) nylock nuts and finger tighten only.

Step 5:

Tighten top 3/4"-10 x 5 hex bolt (#10) just enough to hold head tight against the pin in the head channel. This bolt will be tightened later.

Step 6: Install spring bars

Apply a heavy grease on the round end of each spring bar and push up into the head socket until you hear a click, as shown below. That indicates that the spring bar is locked into place. To release, push up slightly on spring bar and gently pull out on the retaining pin in hitch head. The spring bar will be dropped free of the hitch head.

Step 7: Attaching the trailer to the ball

Using the trailer tongue jack, lower the coupler onto the trailer ball and close coupler latch. Do not retract jack fully at this time. Allow the

support some of the tongue weight.

Raise the front of the trailer and back of the tow vehicle approximately with tongue jack or until the rear bumper is back to the initial measured height. This will allow easier installation of the spring bars onto the support brackets.

Step 8: Installing the spring bar support brackets

Mark the position of the support brackets (#3) by making a center on the trailer A-frame a minimum of 4" in from the end of the spring (#2).

Step 9:

Assemble and fasten the U-shaped installation plate and bracket on the tracker A-frame using two 1/2-13UNC-4" carriage bolts, two 1/2-13UNC hex nuts, and spring washers. Then, assemble the lifting component onto the mounting bracket and secure it using one 1/2-13UNC-3" hex head bolt, 1/2-13UNC nut, and spring washer. All must have a torque of 45-55 ft-lbs.

Step 10: Raise the spring bars

Place the end of the spring bar into the groove of the lifting component.

Step 11:

Lift the lifting component and secure it to the U-shaped groove plate using two 1/2"-13UNC-3" hex head bolts, two 1/2"-13UNC nuts, and spring washers each. All nuts must have a torque of 45-55 ft-lbs. Then secure the spring bar by installing the cotter pin.

Step 12:

Check the vehicle height and adjust the angle of the head using the screws (#5) as required until the desired loading is reached. With the s

bars secured, lower the jack to apply load to the hitch. The vehicle should settle evenly. Remeasure the front and rear bumper reference points. If the front has settled much more than the rear, adjust the screws until the vehicle and trailer are level. The spring bars should nearly horizontal when correct height is achieved.

Step 13:

Tighten all 3/4" bolts and lock nuts to 200 ft-lbs. Tighten the set screws (#5) to 50 ft-lbs. Failure to tighten the hardware may result in fast loss or failure.

Before You Tow:

Check all connections listed below prior to towing:

• Hitch pin & clip (securing shank to receiver)
• Head to shank fasteners
• Trailer ball nut
• Coupler latch
• Spring bar support brackets
• Safety chains
• Lights and turn signals
• Braking system (including breakaway switch)

MAINTENANCE

1. Keep the socket-mounted ends of the spring bars and the lock pin the head assembly free from dirt and well lubricated. Excessive wear area may indicate an overload or inadequate lubrication.
2. Keep the head assembly exterior clean. Do not allow dirt or stone lodge between the spring bars and the head.
3. Keep hitch parts painted to prevent rust and maintain good appeal. Do not paint over labels.
4. Keep lift brackets clean and lubricated to ensure ease of operation.
