• Always secure load, vehicle and trailer (by blocking
wheels) before uncoupling.
• Use caution when uncoupling as tongue may rise
suddenly due to negative tongue load.
• After installing mounting bracket and/or lunette ring, if
its operation has been impaired in any way, do not use
it.
Before Towing:
• Check to be sure that you only use a properly sized
pintle hook. Use of any other connection will create an
extremely dangerous condition which can result in
separation of the lunette ring and pintle hook.
• Check that the lunette ring is fully seated on the pintle
hook, close latch and insert safety pin.
• Check vehicle, pintle hook, lunette ring, mounting
bracket and hardware for signs of wear or damage.
