Coupling To The Tow Vehicle 4.6 ADJUST BUMPER PULL TRAILER HITCH HEIGHT The height of the hitch on the trailer must be adjusted so that the trailer, when loaded to rated capacity, is level while connected to the tow vehicle. A level trailer allows equal weight distribution on the axles. Your dealer or a trailer service center can perform this adjustment or you can use the following steps to adjust the hitch height yourself. ! WARNING Improper hitch height adjustment can result in overloaded tires, blowout and loss of control, leading to death or serious injury. Adjust the hitch height so that the loaded trailer is level. �� Connect trailer to tow vehicle and load the trailer to rated capacity (see Loading and Unloading the Trailer). �� Park the tow vehicle and trailer on a firm level surface. �� Stand away from the trailer and visually verify if the trailer is level front-to-rear. If the front of the trailer is higher than the rear, the hitch must be raised. If the front of the trailer is lower than the rear, the hitch must be lowered. �� Uncouple trailer from tow vehicle (See Uncoupling a Bumper Pull Trailer). �� Remove the lock nuts and bolts (1) on hitch. Discard lock nuts. Inspect bolts for damage and replace if necessary. Contact your dealer for the correct size and grade of bolts. 79 Adjust Hitch Height
