CURT 45901 Adjustable Channel Ball Mount
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING : NEVER EXCEED YOUR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY
WARNINGS
- Do not exceed vehicle’s towing capacity or trailer hitch capacity, whichever is less. See your vehicle owner’s manual to determine vehicle tow rating.
- Use of any pin other than that of the channel-mount system manufacturer could be a serious safety hazard and will void the warranty.
- Ensure that the safety chains operate freely around the channel-mount system and do not become entangled in the channel-mount system.
DISCLAIMER : The ratings of the channel-mount system are intended to represent the capability of the product and in no way reflect the ratings or capacity of the towing system it is being used with. The consumer or operator are strongly advised to learn the ratings of the various components of the towing system and never exceed the limits of the lowest rated component being used.
INSTALLATION
- Install a trailer ball with a 1″ shank and 6,000 lbs. rating in to the ball mount platform. If you are not familiar with this process and do not have the proper tools, you must have the ball installed by an experienced dealer capable of tightening and checking the torque of the trailer ball and nut. The trailer ball must be installed to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Failure to do so could be a serious safety hazard.
- Install the adjustable channel-mount into the trailer hitch of the vehicle and secure with the provided hitch pin & clip.
- Always secure the hitch pin with a clip unless a locking device is being used.
- Determine the height at which you need to install the ball mount into the channel mount. Raise or lower the ball mount to the desired height and insert the supplied pins through the holes that line up with the holes in the channel mount.
- Secure the pins with the provided clips. NOTE: The supplied pins are specifically engineered for the channel-mount system.
- If replacement pins are needed, they must be replaced with original factory channel-mount pins (CURT# 45915).
- After the ball mount is set to the correct height and secured, tighten the anti-rattle set screw tightly into the channel mount to eliminate noise. See figure 1. NOTE: Use of set screw is not needed for safety; only to eliminate possible rattle between the channel-mount and the ball mount platform.
- Prior to towing check to make sure the pins are secured into place with clips. Never hook up trailer safety chains to the channel-mount system
