Measure Trailer Coupler & Frame Height

NOTE: Changing the weight of the trailer and/or tow vehicle by adding, moving or unloading

cargo may require the need to adjust how the weight distribution system is set up.

IMPORTANT! Set parking brake of tow vehicle and chock

the wheels of the trailer before lifting or lowering!

1. Line up the tow vehicle and trailer on level pavement, in a straight position.

2. Use the trailer tongue jack to level the trailer. Measure the distance from pavement to the inside

of the coupler socket, and record here:_______________

3. Mark a spot on the side of the frame on the trailer as close to the coupler as you can, measure

from this mark to the ground/pavement, and record here: ______________. This measurement

will be used later to determine if a proper setup has been achieved.

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support /

Measure the Tow Vehicle

For vehicles with air springs, air shocks or automatic leveling systems only: Check vehicle owner's

manual or other instructions on these items. Unless otherwise indicated, air springs and air shocks

should be deflated to their minimum recommended pressure BEFORE assembling and adjusting

the weight distribution hitch. Pick reference points at the top center of the front and rear fender

well of towing vehicle. Measure and record the height to pavement here:

Installation and Setup

NOTE: To obtain proper ball height on low ground clearance tow vehicles, shank may be oriented

in the “UP POSTION” as shown in Illustration 4. If shank is used in the “DOWN POSITION, check

shank for adequate ground clearance. Accessory shanks with greater height and length are

available from your dealer. IMPORTANT! Proper adjustment requires the use of the proper

length shank; proper head height and proper head tilt adjustment.

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support /

4. Un-screw the 5/8-11 hex bolt until the bottom of the bolt threads are flush to the inside of the

channel.

5. Insert the shank into the receiver box. Hold CL TS head assembly onto shank as shown and

align the Centerline TS head so that the hitch ball is 1” above the coupler socket.

In this example, the shank will be mounted in the

Inverted position (as shown). And the bottom 3/4”

hex bolt will pass through the 2nd hole from the

bottom on the shank. If the bottom 3/4” hex bolt

lined up with the 2nd hole from the top of the shank,

then you would need to flip the shank over to the

Upright Position.

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support /

6. Align the bottom hole on the channel to the hole on the shank and insert a 3/4” hex head bolt.

Remember the hole and orientation in these instructions are an example only, yours

may be different.

7. Add hardened washers marked with “F436” on to the large head pin, and then insert into the

welded bushing on the inside top of the channel. Start with 2 hardened washers if trailer frame

is 4” or 5”. Use 3 hardened washers if the trailer frame is 6”, 7” or 8”

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support /

8. The use of shims may be required to fill up the gap between the ears of the bottom plate

weldment and the U channel. It is NOT necessary to have equal shims on either side.

9. Place a conical toothed washer onto a 3/4” hex bolt and then insert it through the slot in

the channel

Installing Frame Brackets

16.Install frame bracket 28.5”-30.5” away from the center of ball socket on coupler

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support /

The frame and lift brackets can be

mounted on either the driver side or

passenger side of the trailer and MUST be

mounted to the trailer frame as shown. DO

NOT mount the frame brackets on the

inside of the frame!

17. Loosen the 5/8” dog point screws so the lift bracket can be removed from the frame bracket.

Use the 1/2” carriage head bolt, flat washer, lock washer and hex nut to hold the frame

brackets in place. The bottom carriage head bolt should be in the hole closest to the

underside of the trailer frame. Tighten all (4) ½” carriage bolts to 45-55 ft.-lbs.

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support /

18. Before hooking up the trailer to the hitch ball, adjust the height of the lift bracket so that the

measured distance from the ground to the bottom of the trunnion is the same (approximately)

from the ground to the top surface of the lift bracket.(Dimension “A” = Dimension “B” ±1 hole)

this is a starting point and you may need to make adjustments later. Using a 12-point 3/4”

socket, tighten the (4) dog point set screws 45-55 ft.-lbs.

GROUND/PAVEMENT

Attaching Trailer to Ball

Make sure the wheels on the trailer are chocked before connecting coupler to ball.

IMPORTANT! Ensure the tow vehicle and trailer is on level ground and in-line with each other.

Set parking brake of tow vehicle and chock the wheels of the trailer before lifting or lowering!

19. Back up the tow vehicle and align the hitch ball so that it is directly under the coupler socket

(use a spotter if you have one. CAUTION! Spotter should never stand between trailer and

tow vehicle during connecting). Then, lower the trailer until the hitch is supporting some of

the trailer tongue weight. The tow vehicle and trailer must be as straight and inline as

possible.

20. Ensure the hitch ball is completely inside the coupler socket and close the coupler ball latch if

it is not yet closed. Install coupler lock or pin for safety.

21. Raise the front of the trailer and rear of the tow vehicle until the tips of the spring bars are

about level/even with the support surface of the loading brackets.

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support /

Spring bar loading on lift brackets

22. To load the spring bar onto the lift bracket, orient the lift tool as shown below and come under

the spring bar. Then, put the “finger” of the lift tool into the square hole on the lift bracket and

using BOTH hands on the lift tool lift up firmly and the rotate and push the lift tool towards the

trailer until the spring bar is resting completely on the lift bracket and off of the 2 pins. If it is

too difficult to lift the spring bar, then raise the height of the trailer until the spring bar is closer

or vertically to the spring bar support surface of the lift bracket.

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support /

23.Once the spring bar is resting securely on the lift bracket insert the “L” retaining pin into the

square hole and secure with the hair pin clip.

WARNING: Keep clear of the pivot path of all moving parts when there is tension on the spring

bar. Maintain control of the lift handle at all times when raising or lowering the spring bar. Be sure

that the “L” pin and hair pin is in place before driving.

Check Vehicle Height and Adjust

Spring Bars If Necessary

24. Retract the tongue jack completely so the hitch is supporting the weight of the trailer.

Measure the same 3 places as done on pages 5 & 6 and compare. The tow vehicle should

settle evenly front to back. The rear fender should not settle lower than the front fender, if it

has then you will need to either raise the lift brackets 1 hole or add a hardened washer under

the large head tilt pin on the head assembly. The frame mark should be ¼”-1” max higher

than the original measurement noted on page 5, section 3.

Removing the spring bar from the lift bracket

25.Make sure the tow vehicle and the trailer are on level ground and are straight. Chock the trailer

wheels and engage the emergency brake on the tow vehicle.

All Products limited to Vehicle Tow Rating, see Vehicle Owners Manual. Visit www.huskytow.com for Warranty Information / Tech Support /

26. Raise the trailer tongue sufficient to ease the force required to lift the spring bar ends off of the

lift brackets. Place the lift tool on the round peg on the forward side of the lift bracket and

under the end of the spring bar as shown. And start pushing down on the lift tool.

27. Continue pushing down on the lift tool until it starts to come up and towards you.

IMPORTANT: Do not be in a rush here, stay in control of the tool.

28. There will be a point where the spring bar will stop and come to a rest on top of the 2 round

pins on the lift bracket. Stop there and keep your hands away from the spring bar.

Looking from the rearward side

of the frame bracket.
