NOTE
It is critical that the length of the chain be properly adjusted, to prevent the Draw Bar and the front mixer stand from dropping to the ground (contact) in the event the Draw Bar becomes disconnected from the towing vehicle.
If a new safety chain is required use P/N 13363. For a new connector link use P/N 01004.
CAUTION:
■Check the following before towing:
BALL HITCH COUPLER
1.Check vehicle hitch, ball, and coupler for signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that are worn or damaged before towing.
2.Use only the 2" ball diameter as indicated on your coupler. Use of any other ball diameter will create an extremely dangerous condition which can result in separation of the coupler and ball or ball failure.
3.Be sure the coupler is secured to the hitch ball and the lock lever is down tight and locked.
Recheck tightness again after towing about 50 miles.
4.Check that trailer safety chains are properly connected.
