Precautions

WARNING

Make sure the trailer ball assembly fully seats in the gooseneck and can be fully locked by the pins of your gooseneck hitch.
Use of any pin other than what is provided by the manufacturer could be a serious safety hazard and will void the warranty.
Ensure that the safety chains operate freely around the trailer ball system and do not become entangled in the trailer ball system. Check for adequate turning clearance between the front of all trailers and the truck cab.
If the ball is ever able to move with minimal force by hand more than five degrees from the vertical position, the product must be replaced. Use of a heavily worn or damaged trailer ball assembly may result in the trailer becoming separated from the vehicle.
Consult CURT Product Support if you have any questions.
Before every use, be sure the snap ring on the pivot pin of the trailer ball assembly is in place and properly seated.
Immediately discontinue product use if the snap ring is missing on the end of the trailer ball pivot pin or if the trailer ball pin has backed partially out of the trailer ball assembly.
When using the trailer ball assembly in a gooseneck designed for square shank hitches, ensure that the shank adaptors are installed and hardware is tightened.
