NOTE
It is critical that the length of the chain be properly
adjusted, to prevent the
Draw Bar
and the front mixer
stand from dropping to the ground (contact) in the event
the Draw Bar becomes disconnected from the towing
vehicle.
If a new safety chain is required use P/N 13363. For a new
connector link use P/N 01004.
Step 3.
Extend the chain along the length of the Draw Bar, remove excess
chain (slack) and secure to bottom connector link. Secure the
chain to the towing vehicle, using the connector link.
CAUTION:
■
Check the following before towing:
BALL HITCH COUPLER
1. Check vehicle hitch, ball, and coupler for signs of wear or
damage. Replace any parts that are worn or damaged
before towing.
2. Use only the 2" ball diameter as indicated on your coupler.
Use of any other ball diameter will create an extremely
dangerous condition which can result in separation of the
coupler and ball or ball failure.
3. Be sure the coupler is secured to the hitch ball and the lock
lever is down tight and locked.
Recheck tightness again after towing about 50 miles.
4. Check that trailer safety chains are properly connected.
