ASSEMBLY

Step 1
Remove the latch pin securing the lock handles in the closed postion and open the handles 90°.

Step 2
Remove all four cotter pins securing the castle nuts. Loosen the castle nuts until you can achieve a minimum of a 1/8″ clearance between the lock bolt and the bottom surface of the puck.

Step 3
Assemble the legs loosely to 5th wheel head using the 14mm hardware provided with the hitch and lower the assembly onto the factory mount position in the truck bed.

Step 4
With the hitch in position, finish securing the legs to the head by tightening the bolts from step 3 to 100 ft-lbs.

Step 5
Adjust the castle nuts tension until the locking bolt (#2) is snug when handles (#3, #4) are rotated to the lock position. Do not over tighten the castle nuts. The handles should close with moderate hand pressure only. Forcing the handles to the closed position will strip the handles and result in hitch failure.

Step 6
With the castle nuts adjusted to the proper height for each lock handle, re- install the cotter pins removed in step 1.

Step 7
Close all four locking handles and secure them using the provided safety pins (#8).
