DO NOT use a bent or damaged tongue or
cou pler. Re place ment parts may be ordered
through a Four Winns dealer.
The trailer tongue is hinged or removable on our
painted trailers and galvanized trailers. This allows
for easier storage. The tongue is at tached with clevis
pin(s) with locking hair pin(s) or clevis pin keeper(s)
to the trailer frame. Refer to Figure S3.
Figure S3: Trailer Tongue Assembly
To pivot the tongue on trailers models with exposed
hinges:
1. Make sure the trailer jack is supporting the trailer
load properly. Refer to Section S-2C on Swivel
Jacks for additional information.
2. Disconnect the trailer from the tow vehicle.
3. Unplug the trailer's wire harness from the tow
vehicle's trunk connector.
4. Remove the clevis pin keeper and clevis pin.
The tongue will exert some pressure on the
clevis pins. It may be necessary to lift, push
or wiggle the tongue to remove the clevis pins.
5. Pivot the tongue towards the trailer as far as
it will go.
To reinstall, follow this procedure in reverse order.
1. Pivot the tongue until the clevis pin holes
aligned.
