gooseneck ball and transfer the weight of the trailer tongue to the
towing vehicle hitch. If the receiver does not line up with the ball,
raise the receiver again and adjust the position of the tow vehicle.
Then lower the receiver over the ball. When the drop leg base is no
longer resting on the ground, the towing vehicle hitch is holding all
of the weight of the trailer tongue.
•
Close the lock plate on the gooseneck ball receiver.
•
Move the spring-loaded lock plate locking pin to the CLOSED
position. Be sure the locking pin is holding the lock plate.
•
Be sure the receiver is all the way on the gooseneck ball and the lock
plate is engaged. A properly engaged locking mechanism will allow
the coupler to raise the rear of the tow vehicle. Using the trailer jack,
test to see that you can raise the rear of the tow vehicle by 1 inch.
The drop leg jack can be damaged by overloading. Do not use the drop leg jack
to raise the tow vehicle more than 1 inch.
If the gooseneck ball cannot be secured to the receiver, do not tow
the trailer.
Call Bri-Mar Manufacturing LLC at 1-717-263-6116 or
your dealer for assistance.
•
After testing to see that the receiver is properly secured and locked to
the ball, retract the jack to its fully retracted position.
•
Return the drop legs to their upper positions. The drop legs are held
in the lowered position with a plunger pin. Rotating the plunger pin
while pulling it outward will cause it to come out of engagement
with the drop leg and the leg will rapidly rise.
The drop legs are heavily spring loaded in the lowered position. They
will rapidly return to the upper position when released and can inflict
serious bruises, scrapes or pinching.
Keep your feet, shins and hands well clear of the drop legs and drop
leg bases when releasing the drop legs.
