BEFORE INSTALLING

OVERHEAD LIFTING DEVICE

An overhead-lifting device, such as chain falls, engine hoist, or cable come-a-long, can be used to lift the center sec-

tion of the hitch in place. Lower a loop of rope or chain through the 4” hole in the truck bed oor and attach it to the

latch pin in the round hitch receiver tube in the center section. Use the lifting device to raise the center section until

the round hitch receiver tube that protrudes from the center section ts in the 4” hole in the truck bed oor. Main-

taining upward pressure may facilitate fastening the crossmember to the center section, especially if the truck bed

oor has been distorted downward from heavy use. If you use an overhead-lifting device, it should be disconnected

before squaring the center section across the frame, installing the sideplates and torquing fasteners.

NOTE: We recommend reading instructions before beginning the installation.

WARNING: The tow vehicle’s towing capacities should under NO circumstances be exceeded.

WARNING Most trucks have FUEL LINES and/or BRAKE LINES and/or ELECTRICAL WIRES located along the frame rails where B&W Turnoverball™ hitches install. Carefully examine the location of fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wires BEFORE INSTALLATION. Be certain you will not damage fuel lines, brake lines or electrical wires when positioning hitch components, drilling holes, tightening fasteners, and lifting and lowering the truck bed.

STEP 3 With the latch pin on the driver’s side and the socket offset to the front of the truck, raise the center section over the differential and in between the cross members. Push the center section up to the floor while guiding the ring into the four inch hole in the truck bed. Thread four of the 1-1/2” bolts with a lock and flat washer into the front bar from inside the center section leaving them loose at this time.

STEP 8 – INSTALL LATCH PIN RELEASE HANDLE WARNING: LATCH PIN WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF HANDLE IS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. Install the latch pin release handle by inserting it through the DRIVER SIDE slot in the end of the center section on the driver’s side of the truck. Align the handle eyelet with the square hole in the latch pin so the handle is in line with the latch pin as shown. Secure the handle to the pin with the 5/16 X 3/4” carriage bolt and 5/16” TAB locking flange nut as shown.
