Dealer / Installer:
End User:
DO NOT EXCEED Recommended towing limits. SEE VEHICLE'S OWNER'S MANUAL.
▪ Warning, by towing a trailer, you change the handling characteristics
of the tow vehicle.
▪ Warning, Short wheelbase vehicles may induce sway when towing a
trailer. USE EXTREME CAUTION.
▪ Any welding should be done by a qualified welding shop.
Installation instructions:
Most weight distributing ball mounts come equipped with a sway control
ball mount attached. If so, attach the sway control ball to the ball mount
using the hole provided. Tighten the sway control ball to 135 ft-lb torque.
If no sway control ball mount is provided, then use the optional ball mount
bar (Item #34845 included with LH 37498) and weld to the ball mount as
shown in fig. 1 (Right hand setup is shown).
You will want to position the ball mount bar (item #34845) on the side of
the draw bar where you intend on attaching the friction sway unit to the
side of the trailer.
Note which side of the draw bar the ball mount is on as this will be the
side of the trailer you will attach the trailer frame sway ball plate on.
Measure 24" from the center of the coupler ball socket down the side of
the frame and mark this position. Place the trailer ball plate against the
side of the frame (level). Then transfer the punch holes from the trailer
tongue ball plate assy. to the trailer frame and drill 11/32" holes. Attach
the trailer tongue ball plate assy. to the trailer frame using the self-tapping
screws provided and torque to 25 ft.-lbs. See Fig. 2.
Warning! The sway control CAN NOT be used on trailers with surge
brakes! DO NOT speed up if sway occurs. Sway increases with
speed. If sway continues, stop the vehicle and inspect all equipment
and trailer loading until the cause has been determined and
corrected. Trailers should be loaded with heavy items on the floor,
in front of the axle. The load should be balanced side to side.
Tongue weight should be 10-15% of gross trailer weight for most
trailers. Insufficient tongue weight or tail-heavy trailers can cause
sway. When towing in slippery conditions, such as wet, icy, gravel
or snow-covered roads, the sway control must be removed. Never
paint or lubricate the slide bar. If the trailer is 24' or longer, the use
of both a right hand (item #34715) and left-hand sway control (item
#37498) is recommended.
Warning!
Check all mounting bolts and attachment points for the sway control, hitch and related
components every 500 miles, or per the manufacturer's instructions, whichever is more frequent.
