COUPLING TO THE TOW VEHICLE
• Rotate the jack handle to extend the jack and transfer the weight of the trailer tongue to the
jack.
• Raise the trailer coupler above the tow vehicle hitch.
4.4 GOOSENECK TRAILER WITH BALL RECEIVER
A gooseneck ball receiver on the trailer connects to a gooseneck ball that you must have
the manufacturer.
Gooseneck Trailer With Ball Receiver
We have installed a receiver that is suitable for the size and weight of the trailer. The load rating
of the coupler and the necessary ball size are listed on the gooseneck.
You must provide a gooseneck ball and support structure that is marked with a rating that
meets or exceeds the GVWR of your trailer and matches the size of the gooseneck ball receiver.
If the gooseneck ball is too small, is underrated, is loose or is worn, the trailer can come loose
from the tow vehicle, and may lead to death or serious injury.
THE TOW VEHICLE, SUPPORT STRUCTURE AND GOOSENECK BALL MUST HAVE A RATED
TOWING CAPACITY EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE TRAILER Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR). IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE GOOSENECK BALL BE OF THE SAME SIZE AS THE
GOOSENECK BALL RECEIVER.
