CHANNEL-MOUNT FORGED PINTLE & BALL

Figure 1

Do not exceed vehicle's towing capacity or trailer hitch

capacity, whichever is less. See your vehicle owner's

manual to determine vehicle tow rating.

This pintle hitch can only be used with the channel-mount

system. Use of any channel-mount other than that of the

channel-mount system manufacturer could be a serious

safety hazard and will void the warranty.

Ensure that the safety chains operate freely around the

channel-mount system and do not become entangled in the

channel-mount system.

Before towing, ensure the pintle ball is torqued to 260 ft. lbs.

DISCLAIMER: The ratings of the channel-mount system are

intended to represent the capability of the product and in

no way reflect the ratings or capacity of the towing system

it is being used with. The consumer or operator are strongly

advised to learn the ratings of the various components of

the towing system and never exceed the limits of the lowest

rated component being used.

Install the adjustable channel-mount shank into the trailer

hitch of the vehicle and secure with a hitch pin & clip.

Always secure the hitch pin with a clip unless a locking

device is being used.

Raise or lower the pintle to the desired height and insert the

channel-mount system pins through the holes that line up

with the holes in the channel-mount. Secure the pins with

clips. There are pins & clips specifically engineered NOTE:

for the channel-mount system. If replacement pins are

needed, they must be replaced with original factory channel-

mount pins.

After the pintle is set to the correct height and secured,

tighten the anti-rattle set screw tightly into the channel-mount

to eliminate noise. See figure 1. Use of a set screw NOTE:

is not needed for safety; only to eliminate possible rattle

between the channel-mount shank and the pintle.

If towing with the trailer ball, open the pintle latch by

removing the safety pin and pulling up on the lock while

lifting the latch. Replace the safety pin to retain the open

latch position. Position the coupler over the trailer ball and

lock it into place following the instructions of the coupler

manufacturer.

Prior to towing check to make sure the pins are secured into

place with clips. Never hook up trailer safety chains to the

channel-mount system.

WARNING: NEVER EXCEED YOUR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY
