APPLICATION:
WARNING: Although this hitch is designed to safely tow its rated load, we recommend that you consult your vehicle owner's manual for possible
manufacturer's recommendations or limitations. Trailer brakes are recommended for towing loads in excess of 1500 lbs. Always follow the manufacturer's
installation instructions and always install on the specified vehicle. Before installing hitch, check that the attachment points are in good condition.
Failure to follow these guidelines will void warranty. Any modifications to this hitch will void warranty.
WARNING: Use only a 5/8" diameter hitch pin with locking device to secure a ball mount in this receiver. Be sure to check the hitch pin and hair pin
for positive locking placement before towing trailer.
NOTE: Some states require a clear view of license plates. Remove trailer ball and/or ball mount when not in use if it restricts view.
