Drill the holes. From under the bed, use a drill and a

9/16" drill bit to drill through the bed using the 9/16"

holes in the safety chain bracket as a guide. Due to

truck geometry, the holes will need to be drilled at a

slight angle.

Install the U−bolts. From the top side of the truck bed,

drop a U−bolt in each set of holes.

Add springs. Place a conical spring over each leg of

the U−bolts and secure with a

½" lock nut, see figure

E1. Tighten the lock nut until the nut is flush with the

end of the U−bolt.

INSTALL SAFETY CHAIN U−BOLTS

INSTALL FRAME STICKER

Place handle sticker. Locate the latch handle sticker

provided with your instruction packet. Apply the

sticker to the frame in the driver side wheel well. Align

the left edge of the sticker with the latch handle and

top and bottom edges of the sticker with the frame .

Re−attach exhaust bracket. If the exhaust was

un−attached, Pull the exhaust back up to the exhaust

bracket and re−attach. We recomend using soap and

water to lubricate the "pin" and the rubber hanger which

attach the exhaust hanger to aid in re−attachment.

Replace spare tire and heatshield. If the spare tire

and/or the heatshield was removed prior to installing

the hitch, replace it at this time.

Modify fender liner. If a fender liner is present that

restricts the movement of the handle, it is

recommended that it be modified by cutting a relief

slot or hole to allow the handle to move freely. If the

liner was removed for installation, reinstall at this time.

Retract the pin. Pull the handle out all the way until it

stops then slide it toward the cab. The handle should

stay in this position. The latch should only be put in

this open position when inverting the 2−5/16" ball or

installing a B&W towing accessory.

PREPARE FOR TOWING

Operating the tow vehicle while the latch is in the

open position may allow the handle to come into

contact with the rear tire. This may damage the tire

or the handle and could lead to serious injury or

death.

Lubricate 2−5/16" ball.

Apply a light coating of grease

to the corners on the square shank of the 2−5/16" ball..

Check latch pin engagement. When installed

properly, the latch pin mechanism should pass

through both sides of the ball socket. With the ball

removed, push handle toward the rear of the truck

until the handle retracts and the latch pin engages.

Visually inspect the ball socket and check to be sure

the latch pin has passed completely through the

socket. Make a mark on the latching mechanism

where indicated in figure G1 to show where the

latching mechanism should be when the pin is

correctly positioned in the ball socket. Retract the

pin, replace the ball, and re−engage the pin. Check

the marked location on the latching mechanism. If the

mark is in the same location as when the mark was

made, then the latch pin has gone completely through

the ball socket.

Failure of the pin to engage the ball and hitch

properly could result in a loss of attachment

between the trailer and the tow vehicle

Always be sure that latch pin is fully engaged in the

socket before towing.

Inspect hardware connections before towing to be

sure that they are secure..

Measure and determine turning clearance with cab

before towing unfamiliar trailers. Additional products

for increasing turning clearance are available from

B&W.

When inverting the ball, inspect the ball’s relationship

with the truck’s differential and drive line to insure

proper clearance. DO NOT INVERT THE BALL

WHEN HAULING HEAVY LOADS ON 2 WHEEL

DRIVE TRUCKS. A plug for the socket is available

from B&W so that the ball may be removed and the

socket may be covered when hauling heavy loads.

Periodically grease the corners on the square shank of

the 2−5/16" ball.
