Welcome to the Blue Ox

Family
The SwayPro™ is a revolutionary hitch that not only handles weight distribution but sway control as well by
using the combination of loaded spring bars, easy to use rotating latches and an integrated hitch head. As the
trailer tries to sway it puts a heavier load on one side of the bars, as this happens the spring bars will pivot on
the hitch head and balance each other preventing the trailer from swaying. The SwayPro™ will also conquer
weight distribution at the same time, putting more weight on the towing vehicles front tires which increases
steering control and braking giving you a safer and easier driving experience. Your SwayPro™ is backed by a
limited lifetime limited warranty. Any unauthorized modications to your SwayPro™ may void the warranty.
Please read all of the technical documents, warnings, tips, and notes in this manual before operating your
SwayPro™ for the rst time. Improper installation, use and/or maintenance may result in malfunction causing
personal injury or property damage. Please ll out and return your warranty card. For future reference your
serial number is located on the outside of the manual packaging and is also located on the top of the hitch head
of your SwayPro™.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size ball shanks can be used?
Answer: The SwayPro™ accepts 1” or 1-1/4” ball shanks.
Does the sway control require adjustment?
Answer: No, the sway control is built into the SwayPro™ system and no adjustments are required.
What is gross trailer weight?
Answer: Weight of trailer (dry) + liquids (water, propane, sewage) + cargo. Measure gross trailer weight
with a fully loaded trailer on a level surface, preferably on a public truck scale.
What is tongue weight?
Answer: Downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer ball coupler. Measure tongue weight with a
fully loaded trailer on a level surface with trailer ball coupler at tow height.
Why do the bars bend? Will they stay bent?
Answer: The spring bars are designed to deect 2”-3” on a properly set system. This creates the
necessary load on the spring bars to achieve an enjoyable ride. No, the spring bars will always return back
to straight.
What size bars do I have?
Answer: The bars are marked with a dot system on the shank end to identify the weight rating.
