Coupling trailer to tow vehicle (pintle Coupler)

„Slowly back up the tow vehicle so that the pintle hitch hook is near or aligned under the pintle eye ring coupler.

„Using the jackstand at the front of trailer (tongue), turn the jackstand crank handle to raise the trailer. If the pintle eye coupler does not line up with the pintle hitch hook, adjust the position of the tow vehicle.

„OPEN the pintle hook locking mechanism (Figure G). Place the hook inside the eye coupler. CLOSE the pintle hook mechanism.

„Lower the trailer so that its entire tongue weight is held by the hitch.

„Raise the jackstand to a height where it will not interfere with the road.

unsafe tires, lug nuts or Wheels

Trailer tires and wheels are more likely to fail than car tires and wheels because they carry a heavier load. Therefore, it is essential to inspect the trailer tires before each tow.

If a tire has a bald spot, bulge, cuts, is showing any cords, or is cracked, replace the tire before towing. If a tire has uneven tread wear, take the trailer to a dealer service center for diagnosis.

Uneven tread wear can be caused by tire imbalance, axle misalignment or incorrect infl ation.

Tires with too little tread will not provide adequate tracking on wet roadways and can result in loss of control, leading to death or serious injury.

Improper tire pressure causes an unstable trailer and can result in a tire blowout and loss of control. Therefore,

before each tow you must also check the tire pressure.Tire pressure must be checked when tires are cold.

Allow 3 hours cool-down after driving as much as 1 mile at 40 mph before checking tire pressure. Trailer tires will be infl ated to higher pressures than passenger vehicle tires.

„Insert a pin or lock through the hole in the locking mechanism.

„Be sure the pintle hook is inserted completely through the eye ring and the locking mechanism is engaged. A properly engaged locking mechanism will allow the coupler to raise the rear of the tow vehicle. Using the trailer jack, test to see that you can raise the rear of the tow vehicle by1-inch after the coupler is locked to the hitch.

Since trailer wheels and lug nuts (or bolts) are subjected to greater side loads than automobile wheels, they are more prone to loosen. Before each tow, check to make sure they are tight.

The proper tightness (torque) for lug nuts is listed in the lug nut tightening section of this manual. Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts. If you do not have a torque
