BEFORE EACH TRIP:
1.
Lubricate skid plate of the hitch (see figure on cover of Manual) with automotive type chassis grease or use a plastic lube plate
to provide a lubricated surface.
2.
Plastic lube plates (Reese No. 83002) can be used to avoid messy grease. The plastic lube plate must not exceed 3/16 of an
inch in thickness to ensure hitch will operate properly. Lube plates must be 10 inches in diameter or larger to properly distribute
king pin weight.
3.
Before each trip or maneuver, operate the handle and check that the jaws open and close freely.
4.
See that all hitch pins (#11 on Fig. 20) are in place and are locked in place for attachment to the pivot beam. See that all hitch
pins (#13 on Fig 20) are in place on the mounting system and the spring retaining clips (#10 on Fig 20) are installed.
HITCHING PROCEDURE:
IMPORTANT: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFE HITCHING AND UNHITCHING OPERATIONS. DO NOT RELY ON
OTHERS TO PERFORM YOUR DUTIES. YOU MUST PERSONALLY MAKE SURE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS ARE PERFORMED IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Place blocks (sometimes called "chocks") firmly against front and rear of each trailer wheel to prevent any possible forward or
1.
rearward motion. DO NOT REMOVE BLOCKS UNTIL EACH OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS AND THE PULL TEST HAVE
BEEN COMPLETED. Lower tailgate if necessary.
2.
Rotate hitch handle from locked position (see Fig 9a ) up to the unlocked position (see Fig 9b). This will unlock the jaw system.
NOTE: Hitch jaws will not open and proper hitching cannot occur if handle is not pointed up.

3. Using trailer jacks, adjust trailer height following directions in the trailer manual so that the bottom of trailer pin ("A" in
Fig 10) is ½" to 1" below skid plate (See "B" in Fig 10). During the hitching maneuver, the bottom of the trailer pin box
should come in contact with the skid plate ramp (See "C" in Fig 10). It is important the LIFT the trailer so the truck
and trailer suspension can align and the king pin enters and locks properly in the jaw system.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in the king pin being too high and coming to rest on top of the
closed jaws or not completely inside jaws (see fig 13). This could result in trailer separating from the hitch.
Trailer separation may result in death or serious injury if anyone is under the trailer or between truck and
trailer when separation occurs.
