slip hook w/safety latch

Safety Chain:
After attaching the clevis hitch use the safety chain
assembly to secure your wagon to the tow vehicle
• Attach the tow hook to the hitch point on the tow
vehicle, or wrap the chain around the hitch point and
attach the hook to the chain.
• Ensure safety latch is closed on the hook.
• Store the chain by securing it around the tongue.
Spring Balancer:
Springs offset and balance the weight of the tongue
making it easier to hook up.
• Tension may be adjusted by tightening up the 2 nuts
at the end of the eye bolts. (see illustration) Ensure
that both nuts are tightened the same amount.
Retractable Pullout w/ auto lock:
This feature will help eliminate the need for precise
hook-up alignment, and provides up to 23 cm (9.0") of
adjustment, to aid in aligning the vehicle to the clevis at
the point of hook up. The pullout auto-locks into position
when pulling away.
• Back the tow vehicle close to the tongue.
• Pull up on the auto-lock latch, this releases the
pullout stop and will allow the pullout to move inside
the main tongue assembly.
• Move the pullout in/out as required to align the
clevis to the tow vehicle hitch point,
• When aligned, attach the clevis with a appropriate
sized hitch pin, secure with a lynch pin.
• Pull the tow vehicle ahead slightly to activate and
engage the auto lock on the pullout.
• Stop the tow vehicle, check that the pullout lock is in
place and attach the safety chain.
