WARNINGS
Periodically check all gooseneck components to ensure that fasteners are tight
and that structural components are sound. Vehicle performance, such as
braking, handling,
acceleration, and turning radius, can be drastically affected by the trailer.
Allow additional time and space for stopping, changing lanes, passing, and
turning.
Do not tow more than one trailer at a time.
This may cause a loss of control. Severe bumps can damage your towing system.

OPERATION
Step 1
Align the safety chain anchor with the rear-most under-bed mount on both
sides. See figure 3. Note: Always install both safety chain anchors in the
rear-most under-bed mounts.
Step 2
Lower safety chain anchor into under-bed mount and rotate90° toward the center
of the truck. See figures 3 and 4.
Step 3
Insert a 12mm pin into the top of the safety chain anchor and lock it into
position using the 5mm lynchpin. See figures 5 and 6. Note: Both the 12mm pin
and 5mm lynchpin must be fully inserted and engaged.
Step 4
When safety chain anchors are not in use, remove from the under-bed mounts and
store in a dry, clean area.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the 60617 safety chain anchor pins lubricated.
Use silicone spray or equivalent to prevent wear and rust.
Keep the anchor and under-bed truck mounts free of dirt and other foreign
debris.
Note: Failure to maintain your towing system could result in poor
performance and / or catastrophic failure.
BEFORE TOWING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Verify adequate turning clearance between the truck cab/box corners and
trailer(s).
Check truck box clearance. There should be a minimum clearance of 6″ between
the bottom of the trailer(s) overhang and the top of the box sides. Verify all
anchors are properly installed and secured with lynchpins.
Verify the trailer safety chain length. Too much slack in the chain may
prevent maintaining control in the event of separation. Leave only enough
slack to allow full turning without interference.
Verify the trailer attachments to the safety chain anchors are secure (cannot
be shaken free during towing). Ensure the safety chains and hooks are rated to
the load capacity of the trailer.
BEFORE TOWING EVERY TIME
Ensure all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound.
Note: Do not tow the trailer with worn or damaged parts.
Attach trailer chains securely to 60617 safety chain anchors. Ensure the
trailer weight does not exceed any part of the towing system. Be sure the load
is heavier towards the front of the trailer while not exceeding the hitch
vertical weight rating. Be sure the trailer load is secured to prevent
shifting and centered from left to right. Note: Never load the trailer
heavier behind the trailer axle(s).
Check tires to ensure they are inflated to the proper specification. Follow
vehicle and trailer recommendations. Verify trailer lights, electric brakes,
and breakaway switches are working properly.
