Warnings at tongue
Read and adhere to all warning labels, especially
those that appear on the pivot tongue.
Ensure the swing tongue is folded fully forward,
the pivot pin is installed, and the keeper pin is in-
stalled in the bottom of the pivot pin before towing.
When folding the swing tongue open or forward to
the fully closed position, be sure that the brake hose
is not kinked or pinched in any way. A pinched or
kinked brake hose will cause the brakes to drag and
overheat. The pins and fasteners are special items. Adjustment of the swing tongue or
any component replacement should be performed by your authorized MasterCraft dealer.
hoW to attaCh the trailer
To connect the trailer to the tow vehicle, open the cou-
pler mechanism (instructions below). When necessary, raise
the trailer jack. Slowly back up the tow vehicle until the hitch
ball is under the coupler. This is easier with a second person
standing beside the trailer and guiding the driver.
Do not move the trailer to the tow vehicle. When the
trailer is moved without a tow vehicle, the brakes do
not work.
If the latch accidentally opens, the coupler could detach
from the hitch ball. The hitch pin should fit easily into the
hole. If it does not, the coupler latch is not completely closed.
Every time the coupler is attached to the hitch ball, be sure
the coupler completely covers the hitch ball and the lift handle
will not open without pushing the push button on the side or
pulling up on the trigger. If the hitch pin is damaged or lost,
contact an authorized MasterCraft dealer for a free replacement pin.
You must install either the hitch pin that
is supplied or a padlock (1/4” or 5/16”
shank) into the hitch pin hole before tow-
ing to prevent the coupler latch from ac-
cidentally opening.
