A. Do not exceed the
Quick Adjustable Dual Ball Mount’s maxi-

B. Always make sure that the trailer is
chocked properly when attaching the Quick
Adjustable Dual Ball Mount. Take safety
precautions to prevent unsafe movement of
the trailer as it is being attached to the tow-
ing vehicle.
C. Make sure that the trailer tongue is
securely connected to the ball mount.
The vehicle’s hitch coupler must be prop-
erly secured to the Receiver Tube of the
Quick Adjustable Dual Ball Mount. After
set-up and attachment is complete, pull
hitch coupler; there should be no play
between the ball and the hitch coupler.
If the hitch coupler

Safety chains between the towing vehicle
and the trailer are always required.

ing vehicle. Note: See page 4, paragraph
#1 for information on how to determine
proper height of ball mount to insure a
level trailer.

from under the trailer when setting up the
Quick Adjustable Dual Ball Mount, and when
hitching, unhitching or moving the trailer.
Keep spectators away when setting up and
using this product.
F. Be aware of the danger of “dynamic
loading”. This situation arises when a load is
dropped onto the Quick Adjustable Dual Ball

personal injury to people nearby.
G. Before each use, check the Quick
