1.Check vehicle hitch, ball, and coupler for signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that are worn or damaged before towing.

Recheck tightness again after towing about 50 miles.

4.Check that trailer safety chains are properly connected.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE

1.Smear ball socket and clamp face with chassis grease. Periodically oil pivot points and solutions surfaces of coupler with SAE 30 wt. motor oil.

2.When parking or storing your trailer. Keep the coupler off the ground so dirt will not build up in the ball socket.
