7. Position the ballmount on the draw bar so that the ball will be approximately 3/4” higher than the coupler when in the center of its
tilt adjustment. Insert 3/4 X 4 1/2" bolt (F) through the lower hole in the ballmount and install 3/4” lock washer (G) and 3/4” nut
(H). Rotate ballmount up to approximately the center of the tilt adjustment and install one adjustment washer (J) on 3/4 x 5 1/
2“
bolt (K) and insert bolt in upper slot in the ballmount.
Note:
The adjustment washer hole is not on center and can be rotated 180
°
for maximum head adjustment or half adjustment steps (see below). Install the second adjustment washer (oriented the same as
the first), lock washer, and nut on the other side. Torque the 3/4 nuts (K) to 300 ft-lbs (If large enough torque wrench is not
available, torque nuts to 150 ft-lbs, then turn nuts an additional 1/4 turn - DO NOT lubricate the threads).

OPTIONAL SHIM KIT
Use the shim provided when needed to fill any gap between the Weight Distributing Head shown below and the hitch bar
used in the particular application.
It is easier to install the shim from the top down as shown below. In doing so, you will encounter one of three scenarios:
1.
Shim
will
go all the way down to line up with the bottom hole.
If this is the case, use the entire shim in
the gap.
Note: It is conceivable that in some rare combinations, two shims could be used. In these cases,
contact Customer Service at 800-632-3290 or 800-428-7303 for a free additional shim service
kit #58207.
2.
Shim
will not
begin to fit between the head and hitch bar
. If this is the case, discard shim and continue
installation. The existing gap is acceptable
3.
Shim
will not
go in far enough to reach bottom hole.
If this is the case, cut shim in half and use only the
top half for the top bolt. Discard bottom half of shim.
