HITCHING PROCEDURE:
IMPORTANT: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFE HITCHING AND UNHITCHING OPERATIONS. DO NOT RELY ON
OTHERS TO PERFORM THESE DUTIES. YOU MUST PERSONALLY MAKE SURE THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE
PERFORMED IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
1. Place blocks (sometimes called "chocks") firmly against front and rear of each trailer wheel to prevent any possible
forward or rearward motion. DO NOT REMOVE BLOCKS UNTIL EACH OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS AND THE
PULL TEST HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. Lower tailgate if necessary. Clearance of the lowered tailgate to the trailer
needs
to be monitored during hookups as some manufacturer combinations of truck and trailer have little or no clearance.
2. Using trailer jacks, adjust trailer height following the directions in the trailer manual so that bottom of trailer pin box ("A" in
Figure 24) is ½ to 1 inch below skid plate (See "B" in Figure 24). During the hitching maneuver, the bottom of the trailer
pin box should come in contact with skid plate ramp ("C" in Figure 24).

Failure to follow this instruction may result in king pin being too high and coming to rest on top of closed jaws or
not completely inside jaw. (Figure 25). This could result in trailer separating from hitch. Trailer separation may
result in death or serious injury if anyone is under the trailer or between truck and trailer when separation occurs.
3. Remove bail pin from bail pin hole(see Figure 26). Then pull handle out and rearward to hold open.

4. With handle in the open position (See Figure 26), back truck slowly into trailer. As king pin completely enters
head, jaw will spring closed around king pin and handle will return to the closed position. If the handle does not
return to the closed position, then
try to push the handle back to the
closed position. If handle does
not return to the closed position
then move the truck slightly forward
or rearward until the handle returns
to the closed position. (See Figure 27)
5. Use only the method described above for hitching.
