Swing Hitch; Hitch Class Rating; Trailer Tire Safety, Care And Maintenance - Ranger boats Z-Comanche Owner's/Operator's Manual

On swing hitch trailers, make sure the hitch is in the forward position and the locking pin is properly installed.
Connect your trailer wire harness and test your vehicle lights to make sure that the trailer's brake and turn signals
duplicate your vehicle's. Remove any trailer wheel chock and carefully pull away.
To unhitch your trailer from the tow vehicle, place the trailer on a level and paved surface and chock both
trailer wheels to prevent any movement forward or backward. Unhook the safety chains, wiring harness and, if so
equipped, the brake break-away cable. Then, using the trailer tongue jack, raise the hitch up and clear the ball. In
this position the trailer tongue should be left somewhat bow high so that any water will run out through the drain
hole in the stern of the boat.
All Ranger Trail trailers that have a GVWR of more than 5000 lbs. must use a Class IV hitch and 6000 lb. 2-inch
trailer ball.
