How to disconnect connector

• Disconnect the connectors in the reverse order of connection.

• Do not attempt to pry off the connectors with force.

• Close the socket lid and cover securely.

Special Precautions

• When the trailer hitch is used on a boat ramp or in a place where the connectors are submerged in the water, disconnect the trailer 7-pin connector and 4-pin connector from the sockets and close the socket lid and socket cover securely before operation. Failure to disconnect the connectors making the connectors submerged in the water as a result will cause adverse effect to the vehicle electric system.

• Water will enter the connectors if they are submerged in the water. Open the socket lid and cover to drain the connectors.
