Step 1: SETUP
Remove all the items from the box. If the
Coupling Plate is not already installed with
the Ball Base, detach the ball from the
Locking Nut, slip the Coupling Plate under
the ball, and reinsert into the Locking Nut.
Secure tightly.
Step 2: ADJUSTING THE TRAILER HEIGHT
Raise the trailer tongue to where the
coupler is about 14 inches off the ground
(the same height of the ball when the
Trailer Valet is upright).
Step 3: ATTACHING THE BALL TO COUPLER
WARNING! The Steering Handle must be
secured to the safety clip to ensure the
brake is engaged at all times.
1) Slide the Trailer Valet directly under the
coupler.
2) Slip the ball into the coupler and lock the
ball with the coupler latch.
NOTE: Similar to attaching the trailer to
your hitch, you may need to adjust the
position of the ball for it to lock tightly to
the coupler.
ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR INSTALLING
THE BALL ATTACHMENT:
NOTE: This method is recommended for
heavier trailers and users who have
difficulty securing the ball tightly into the
coupler.
I. Before installing the Ball Attachment into
the Rotating Coupler of the XL, put the ball
into the trailer coupler and lock the ball
with the coupler latch.
II. Using the Tightening Tool, turn the
Locking Nut counter clockwise until the nut
is secured flat against the coupler.
III. Lower the trailer with the Ball
Attachment into the Trailer Valet XL and
secure using the Rotating Pin.
3) Raise the trailer slightly so that the
device hangs from the coupler and the
wheels on the Trailer Valet are above
ground. This will enable you to tighten the
Locking Nut.
4) Using the Tightening Tool, turn the
Locking Nut counter clockwise until the nut
is secured flat against the coupler.
WARNING! Failure to tighten the Locking
Nut against the coupler may cause the ball
to slip out of the coupler.
NOTE: To ensure that the Locking Nut is
securely fastened to the coupler, rock the
device in all directions and continue
tightening until there is no movement by
the device and the Locking Nut remains flat
against the coupler.

Knowing the proper techniques to operate your Trailer Valet can help keep you and
others around you safe. In this guide, you are shown the basic fundamentals for
effective operations. However, it is up to you to analyze the situation and make the
decisions necessary for the proper use of your Trailer Valet. Apply your knowledge of
your Trailer Valet and the basic fundamentals you have practiced to adjust your
techniques to each unique situation.
Step 4: TESTING THE ASSEMBLY
WARNING! Always ensure the operator and bystanders are aware of load stability.
1) Lower the trailer gradually until the existing jack is above the ground and the trailer is
completely supported by the Trailer Valet.
NOTE: Keeping the trailer jack close to the ground prevents serious damages from
occurring due to unexpected failures.
Step 5: ATTACHING DRIVER
Option 1: Manual Operation with the Drive Handle
1) Attach the Drive Handle to the low or high gear Driveshaft.
Option 2: Using the Drill Adapter
1) Using the chuck of your drill/driver, connect to the Drill Adapter
2) Secure the chuck of your drill around the Drill Adapter tightly to avoid the
Adapter slipping off the drill.
3) Align and insert the Drill Adapter to the low gear Driveshaft.
NOTE: If you are using a cordless drill, be sure your battery pack is fully charged before
use. Follow your drill/driver manufacturer's recommendation.
WARNING! DO NOT use your drill on the high gear.

to move your Trailer Valet.
Videos are available on the Trailer Valet
website if you need a visual guide to
install or use your Trailer Valet.

Step 6: OPERATING THE DEVICE
NOTE: If your trailer has built-in brakes, they must be disengaged prior to operation of
the Trailer Valet. Consult your trailer manufacturer’s manual/instructions on temporary
brake release. If this is not available to you, please contact Trailer Valet Customer
Support through phone or email for assistance.
1) When you’re getting ready to operate the device, make sure you have one hand
firmly gripped on the brake, and the other hand firmly gripped on the drill/driver.
2) Slowly lift the Steering Handle until the brake is disengaged and begin cranking. The
Steering Handle must be held up firmly at all times when moving the trailer.
NOTE: Hold the drill/driver firmly when engaging. The drill will have high initial torque if
the drill trigger is pulled rather than squeezed. Begin to move the trailer as slowly as you
are capable and carefully increase the power up to an appropriate speed when using the
Drill Attachment.
NOTE: It is important that you steer the device only when you are cranking and the
trailer is moving. Attempting to turn the Steering/Brake Handle at a dead stop will place
excessive stress on a single tire.
NOTE: When attempting to make sharp turns (E.G. 90° rotation) from a stationary
position, crank the Trailer Valet back and forth while turning until the unit is in the
desired position. Then, proceed to make the turn.
WARNING: DO NOT use the Trailer Valet on slopes and inclines exceeding a strict
maximum of 10 degrees on a paved/concrete surface. This rating is subject to factors
including, but not limited to, alternate surfaces, weight distribution, change in weight
capacity, and use on multi-axle trailers. DO NOT pull up or push down an incline. The
unit must always be on the lower end of any incline. If you have any questions
concerning the use of your Trailer Valet on a slope or incline, please contact us at (844)
846-9344 or email us at: [e-mail]
NOTE: Use of power drill is inadvisable for movement upon any incline.
Step 7: REMOVING THE DEVICE
1) Remove the drill/drive handle.
2) Lower the jack until the Trailer Valet is above the ground.
3) To detach the Telescoping Arm, remove the Security Pins from the Jack Clamp and
the Base Bracket. The Jack Clamp can optionally be left secured to the jack for future
use.
4) Loosen the Locking Nut and release the latch on the coupler.
