Connecting the Light Tower Trailer to the Tow
Vehicle
1. Put wheel chocks (not supplied) against the front and
back of each wheel on both sides of the light tower
trailer.
2. Make sure that the trailer tongue is lowered and locked in
the towing position. See Trailer Tongue.
3. Find out whether the towing vehicle has a ball hitch or
a pintle hitch. Reverse the trailer hitch bar if needed.
See Using the Trailer Coupler / Lunette Eye.
Note: Reversible trailer hitch bar is optional on some models.
See Using the Trailer Coupler / Lunette Eye.
4. Use the tongue jack to lift the trailer coupler or lunette
eye above the tow vehicle's hitch ball or pintle hook.
See Operating the Tongue Jack.
5. Move the tow vehicle so that the hitch ball or pintle hook
is under the trailer coupler or lunette eye.
6. Lower the trailer coupler or lunette eye onto the hitch ball
or pintle hook with the tongue jack.
7. Lock the trailer coupler or pintle hitch. See Using the
Trailer Coupler / Lunette Eye.
8. Attach the safety chains (A, Figure 5) to the tow vehicle's
hitch frame. Cross the chains under the tongue as shown.
Leave enough slack in the chains to allow for turns, but
not so much that the chains will hit the road surface.
9. Connect the trailer lighting connector (B, Figure 5) to the
tow vehicle lighting connector. Make sure that the trailer
lighting harness has sufficient length to not disconnect
when turning, but not so much length that the harness
will hit the road surface. Once connected, check the stop,
turn signal, tail, side marker and license plate lights for
correct operation.

into the transport position. See Operating the Tongue
