out of the slots machined into
the back side of the block.
STEP 5
Turn the adjustable part of
the hitch around and install in
the reverse order that it was
removed.
STEP 6

in the receiver of the vehicle

sure the pin is locked into the
receiver tube. The hitch can be
raised or lowered to the desired
height and locked with pins and
cotter pins.
