HELPFUL TIPS:

• APPROXIMATELY 15%-25% OF THE TRAILER WEIGHT SHOULD BE ON THE HITCH.

• THE HEIGHT OF THE KING PIN BOX AND PIVOT ARMS SHOULD BE ADJUSTED SO THAT

THE TRAILER IS APPROXIMATELY LEVEL FOR TOWING.

• ALLOW ADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BED SIDE AND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE

FRONT OF THE TRAILER FOR PITCH AND ROLL OF THE TRAILER.

• LUBRICATE TOP SURFACE OF COUPLER WITH AUTOMOTIVE TYPE CHASSIS GREASE

OR USE A NYLON LUBE PLATE TO PROVIDE A LUBRICATED SURFACE.

• THE COMPANION RV HITCH WAS DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE TURNOVERBALL™

HITCH MOUNTING SYSTEM. OTHER USES WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND ARE EX-

PRESSLY PROHIBITED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

• GREASE JAWS WITH AUTOMOTIVE TYPE CHASSIS GREASE.

• GREASE THE SADDLE THROUGH THE GREASE ZERK APPROXIMATELY EVERY SIX

MONTHS WITH MULT-PURPOSE GREASE. THIS ALLOWS THE COUPLER TO PIVOT

FREELY.
