Tools Required:

• Torque Wrench
• 1/2" Socket and Wrench
• 3/4" Socket and Wrench
• 7/8" Socket and Wrench
• Tape Measure
• Marking Pencil
• Lubricating Grease or Plastic Lube Plate

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Guidelines for Matching Hitch, Truck, and Trailer

• Verify that the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) does not exceed 15,000 lbs, and the kingpin weight does not exceed 3,750 lbs.
• Ensure a minimum clearance of 6 inches between the trailer and truck bed walls for safe turning and maneuvering.
• Use only a SAE 2-inch kingpin with this hitch.
• For short-bed trucks (less than 8 feet but longer than 6 feet):
  • Use an extended pin box for increased turning clearance.
  • Cequent recommends adding a slider, such as the 30048, 30092, or 50008, for low-speed, off-highway maneuvers.
• This hitch is intended for use with recreational fifth-wheel trailers only.

Step 2: Assemble the Hitch

1. Prepare the Components:

   • Unpack and verify all parts using the parts list provided in the manual.
   • Lay out all components for easy access.

2. Install Base Rails:

   • Place the base rails (Part #25) across the truck bed as specified in the mounting kit instructions.
   • Secure the base rails to the truck frame using hardware from the mounting kit.

3. Attach the Legs:

   • Insert the legs (Part #28) into the second rectangular slot from the ends of the base rails.
   • Insert long pull pins (Part #11) through the base rail holes and secure with spring cotter pins (Part #12).

4. Install the Head Support:

   • Attach the head support (Part #27) to the legs, aligning the mounting holes for the desired hitch height:
     • Lowest height: 13 inches
     • Highest height: 17 inches
   • Insert 1/2-inch x 4.5-inch bolts (Part #29) and secure with lock nuts (Part #31).
   • Torque all bolts to 75 lb.-ft..

5. Attach the Hitch Head:

   • Install the head assembly (Part #26) into the yokes on the head support.
   • Insert short pull pins (Part #23) with the grooved ends toward the tailgate.
   • Secure the pull pins with spring cotter pins (Part #12).

Step 3: Hitching Procedure

1. Prepare the Trailer:

   • Block the trailer wheels securely on both sides.
   • Use the trailer’s landing gear to adjust the kingpin height so it is 1/2 to 1 inch below the hitch skid plate.

2. Open the Hitch Locking Mechanism:

   • Pull the hitch handle outward and forward until it rests in the handle groove, cocking the locking bar open.

3. Hitch the Trailer:

   • Slowly back the truck toward the trailer, aligning the kingpin with the hitch funnel.
   • As the kingpin enters the hitch, the locking bar will automatically close around it, securing the kingpin in place.

4. Verify Connection:

   • Ensure there is no gap between the bottom of the pin box and the hitch skid plate.
   • Insert a padlock or bail pin through the holes in the handle tab and sleeve for added security.

5. Perform a Pull Test:

   • With the trailer wheels blocked and the landing gear supporting the trailer weight:
     • Release the truck’s emergency brake and gently attempt to pull forward.
     • Ensure the hitch holds the trailer securely.

Step 4: Unhitching Procedure

1. Secure the Trailer:

   • Block the trailer wheels firmly on both sides.
   • Lower the landing gear to support the trailer’s weight.

2. Disconnect the Truck:

   • Remove the electrical cable and breakaway switch cable.
   • Unlock and remove the padlock or bail pin from the hitch handle.

3. Release the Hitch Locking Mechanism:

   • Pull the hitch handle outward and forward until the locking bar is cocked open.

4. Separate the Truck and Trailer:

   • Slowly drive the truck forward, ensuring no one is between the truck and trailer during the process.

5. Close the Locking Bar:

   • Pull the hitch handle outward and back to close the locking bar, securing the hitch for storage.

Maintenance Schedule:

• Before Each Trip:
  • Grease the skid plate with automotive chassis grease or use a plastic lube plate no thicker than 3/16 inches.
  • Check all bolts, pull pins, and cotter pins for proper security.
• After Each Use:
  • Inspect the hitch head and locking mechanism for wear or damage.
• Every 1,000 Miles:
  • Re-torque all bolts to the specified torque values.
