HEAD AND CENTER SECTION
7. Hitch height determination:
With trailer leveled and on level ground measure from the ground to the coupler, Dimension "A" in Fig. 7.
Secondly, measure from the height of the inside of the truck bed to the ground, Dimension "B" in Fig. 7.
Dimensions "C" and "D" in Fig. 7 can be used to determine the amount of clearance over the side rails, as
mentioned in instruction #6 (Additional clearance may be needed for off road maneuvering and/or steep
inclines while turning).
The 2" value is an estimate of suspension compression due to king pin weight of the trailer. This
compression could range between 1"-5" depending on the truck being used and the trailer being towed.
•Connection for trailer wiring must be located at the side of the truck bed between the driver's
seat and the rear wheel to prevent operators from working between the truck and trailer.
•Avoid putting any part of your body under the trailer or between the truck and trailer. Unexpected or
accidental movement of the truck or the trailer can cause serious injury or death
•If you must place any part of your body under the trailer or between the truck and trailer you MUST
perform ALL of the following steps:
•Check that the truck transmission is in park
•Check that the emergency brake is on
•Block in front of and behind all trailer tires
•Check that the trailer landing gear are resting on firm ground
