WARNING
Read all installation and operating instructions along with all labels
before using this product.
Adding components such as a Turnoverball hitch to the chassis of
any vehicle can be hazardous. There is potential for unexpected
combustion of fuel, electric shock, burns, shifting or falling of
unstable vehicle, damage to vehicle, injury from tool usage and
many other hazards. This installation must be completed by
someone who is aware of the hazards involved. This person must
be knowledgeable of proper safety procedures for a vehicle
modification of this nature, and for usage of the equipment
required to perform the installation.
Without proper knowledge, towing can be a dangerous activity.
Understand all the risks involved with towing before proceeding.
For information on towing safety, see "The Trailer Handbook: A
Guide to Understanding Trailer and Towing Safety" from the
National Association of Trailer Manufacturers, www.NATM.com
and your trailer manufacturer's owner's manual.
Do not exceed tow or tongue rating of coupler, tow or tongue
rating of hitch, or tow or weight ratings of truck or trailer. See
vehicle and trailer manufacturer information for ratings. Exceeding
these ratings may cause damage to towing components or loss of
attachment between the trailer and truck.
Do not modify this product in any manner. Doing so could alter its
integrity and lead to a loss of attachment between the trailer and
the tow vehicle.

Additional caution must be used when towing a wedge car trailer.
Towing stability greatly depends on keeping the center of gravity
as low as possible. Load heavy cars over the axles. Never tow
with a single car on the front of the trailer. When towing a wedge
car trailer, never exceed speeds that are reasonable for the
roadway conditions (e.g. turns, going around a curve, etc.). Failure
to account for proper trailer center of gravity and speeds that are
reasonable for the roadway conditions may cause damage to the
truck, trailer, towing components, and loss of attachment between
the truck and trailer.
This product was designed to fit vehicles in their original, "as
manufactured" condition. Compatibility with vehicles having
replacement parts, or other modifications is not guaranteed.
Inspect vehicle for modifications before installation of this product.
The Turnoverball hitch comes equipped with a 2−5/16" ball.
Trailers towed with the ball provided must have a 2−5/16" coupler.
Towing with a larger coupler could cause loss of attachment
between the trailer and the tow vehicle.
A visual inspection of the hitch should be performed before each
time you tow. Regularly check that all pinned connections are
secure, and that all bolted connections are at the correct torque
specification. Check for cracks or damage to the hitch. Do not tow
with the hitch if cracks or damage outside of normal wear is found.
Towing with a hitch that has cracks or damage could result in
damage to the tow vehicle, trailer, towing components or loss of
attachment between the tow vehicle and trailer.
