Installation Guide

Vehicle performance (braking, handling, acceleration,
turning radius) can be drastically affected by a trailer.
Allow additional time and space for stopping,
changing lanes, passing and turning.
Do not tow more than one trailer at a time.
This may cause loss of control.
Severe bumps can damage the towing system.
Avoid or drive slowly over rough terrain.
WARNING: Periodically check the gooseneck hitch
to ensure all fasteners are tight and that all structural
components are sound.
Step 1
To install the 60601 gooseneck ball, lift the handle from
its seat and rotate 90°. Insert the gooseneck ball into the
receiver tube in the bed of truck. Rotate the handle to the
locked position and flip it down into its seat. See figure 1.
Note: If handle does not freely rotate into the locked
position, rotate the ball while applying light pressure to the
side of the handle. When the handle rotates into the locked
position flip it down into the seated position.
Step 2
When the gooseneck ball is not in use, remove it from the
receiver tube and store it in the case, in a dry, clean area.
Step 3
Place the rubber cover (66155) in gooseneck receiver
when the ball is removed to keep dirt and contaminates out.
