WARNING:
•Connection for trailer wiring must be located at the side of the truck bed between the driver’s
seat and the rear wheel to prevent operators from working between the truck and trailer.
•Avoid putting any part of your body under the trailer or between the truck and trailer.
Unexpected or accidental movement of the truck or the trailer can cause serious injury or death
•If you must place any part of your body under the trailer or between the truck and trailer you
MUST
perform ALL of the following steps:
•Check that the truck transmission is in park
•Check that the emergency brake is on

8. Hitch height determination:
With trailer leveled and on level ground measure from the ground to the king pin box (“A” in Figure 6). Secondly measure from
the height of the inside of the truck bed (“B” in Figure 6). Determine the amount of clearance over the side rails ( “C” and “D” in
Figure 6), as mentioned in Note 7.
Hitch Height = A – B + 2”
The 2” value is an estimate of suspension compression due to king pin weight of the trailer. This compression could range
between 1”-5” depending on the truck being used and the trailer being towed.
D – C + 2” > 6” as in Note 7.
