location
4.
With handle in the unlocked position (See Fig. 12), back truck slowly into trailer. As the trailer king pin enters the hitch it will
push the hitch jaws open and extend the handle (See Fig. 13). As king pin completely enters head, jaws will spring closed
around king pin , the handle will return to the closed position and king pin indicator will extend out from the head assembly (See
Fig. 14).
5.
After king pin is latched ensure that the handle has returned to the closed position and rotate handle down to ensure jaws are
locked around king pin (See Fig. 15).
6.
To ensure jaws are locked completely around kingpin it may be necessary to rock the tow vehicle back and forth.
7.
Use only the method described above for hitching.
Do not attempt to hitch by using trailer jacks to lower trailer and king pin. This could result in king pin coming to rest on
top of skid plate instead of within hitch opening where jaws are located. King pin could slide off hitch and trailer could
drop, resulting in death or serious injury.
