The Unit can also be powered with your Trailer’s Battery the provided battery cables.
For details about battery connection, please see the Power Options section on Page 6.
WHY ARE THERE WELD SPOTS ON THE HITCH BALL?
These weld spots are specically designed to work with our locking process. Without the welds, the ball
will endlessly spin inside the Trailer Hitch.
For details, please see the Ball Mount section on Page 8.
RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE SETTING?
A Tire Pressure of 40 PSI is recommended for all of our Tire options. (4” or 6.5” Wide Tires)
DO I NEED A THRUST WASHER?
The Thrust Washer is designed for trailers with Step Down Hitches. You only need the Thrust Washer if you
have anything preventing the hitch from lying ush with the top of the ball mount collar. If you have a at
hitch, you do not need the Thrust Washer.
For details, please see the Thrust Washer sections on Page 9and 10.
