INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: NEVER EXCEED YOUR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY DOUBLE LOCK GOOSENECK HITCH MAINTENANCE Keep gooseneck ball, cylinder and trailer coupler lubricated regularly. Use silicone spray or equivalent to prevent wear / rust. Keep hitch assembly and trailer coupler free of dirt and other foreign debris. Periodically check the gooseneck hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound.

INSTALLATION Step 1 Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill a pilot hole from underneath the truck bed through the hole in center locator / trim shield (#2). See figure 2. Step 3 Using a 4" hole saw, drill the hole from above the truck bed. Take caution to not drill through the center locator / trim shield (#2) Note: The use of cutting fluid will ease this process. Remove the center locator by pulling it up through the hole. Step 4 Deburr the cut holes and spray exposed metal with rust inhibitor.
PAGE 7
BEFORE TOWING FOR THE FIRST TIME BEFORE TOWING EVERY TIME Verify adequate turning clearance between the truck cab / box corners and trailer. Ensure all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. Note: Do not tow a trailer with worn or damaged parts. Check truck box clearance. There should be a minimum clearance of 6" between the bottom of the trailer overhang and the top of the box sides.
