MOUNTING

1. Mounting structure must be capable of supporting the rated capacity of the pintle hook in accordance with SAE J847.

2. Use the 4 - 1/2" grade 8 bolts and torque to 100 ft. lbs.

3. For combination pintle hooks, torque ball locknut to 350 ft. lbs.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PINTLE HOOK

WARNING:

- Other steps and inspections are required. Consult D.O.T. regulations and American Trucking Association for complete coupling and uncoupling procedures.

- Be careful with the drawbar when coupling and uncoupling to avoid damaging the latch.

- Maintain adequate vertical (tongue) load to properly control the trailer (approximately 10%) not to exceed above rated capacities.

-For off-road applications, reduce the rated capacities by 25 percent.

- When loading/unloading a trailer coupled to the tow vehicle, support the rear of the trailer to avoid load shifting.
